18N New Zealand & Australia Tour Package | Both Islands & East – I Fly

Eighteen nights across New Zealand's two islands and Australia's Sydney, Cairns and Melbourne, with return flights and visa included.

Milford Sound country around Queenstown opens the southern leg of this eighteen-night New Zealand and Australia combination that pairs both NZ islands with Sydney, Cairns and Melbourne. Return economy flights and visa assistance from India are included for the full two-country sweep.

What you see on the dual-country route

New Zealand delivers Auckland, Rotorua's geysers, four Queenstown nights, Twizel's Mount Cook country and Christchurch; Australia adds Sydney's harbour, the Cairns reef and Melbourne's laneways. Eighteen nights make room for two countries without rushing.
