Unique New Vacations Down Under Offer All the Classics with a Twist

February 27, 2008 – Australia and New Zealand’s most popular sights are well-loved and well-visited but, for many travelers, itineraries are becoming outdated. Fresh Tracks Travel’s new adventures revitalize guidebook darlings like Australia’s Ayers Rock and Reef, and New Zealand’s Milford Sound and Glaciers with memorable activities, adventures, and accommodation that highlight these iconic travel destinations.

The new unique and boutique vacations to Australia and New Zealand are crafted to include the top sights (they are must-sees for a reason after all) along with unique local tours, adventurous activities, and boutique lodging to make the classic journey exciting, invigorating, and memorable.

“Australia and New Zealand are too exciting and diverse to suffer through on cookie cutter tours,” says John Parker, CEO Fresh Tracks Travel. “With these new Fresh Tracks vacations travelers will get to discover the Outback from a Harley Davidson, and gape at Milford Sound aboard an overnight cruise. After active days , they’ll retire to stylish boutique hotels in the cities, or relax at B&Bs in the country. Memorable, unique, and personal – life’s too short and time away too precious for vacations to be anything but.”

In the Grand Australia Adventure, people travel the classic journey from Sydney to the Great Barrier Reef via the Outback, but also experience once-in-a-lifetime adventures along the way. From working up an appetite learning to surf on Bondi Beach, to staying at a luxury desert tented camp in the heart of the Outback, these experiences will make those great sights all the more magical.

Further south, the Kiwi Classic Tour combines famous New Zealand sights with glacier walks, kayaking tours through luscious marine parks, and incredible wilderness scenery. After days of activity, travelers retire to small hotels and intimate B&Bs where they are hosted by native New Zealanders and enjoy gourmet food coupled with world class local wines – a great way to absorb the local history and culture.

Fresh Tracks has 15 years experience specializing in customized and tailor-made packages and these new tours are no different. Beyond offering a wide choice of hotels (with superior, deluxe, and private collection options), all vacations can also be custom-built by adding localized activity packages.

In Australia, these add-ons include the option to sail the Whitsundays with a small group, discover the wines of Adelaide and South Australia, or simply relax in a Queensland villa. In New Zealand, travelers can choose from an overnight cruise in Milford Sound, a bike tour in Marlborough, and whale-watching in Kaikoura among others.

For adventurous, independent or active travelers, there’s a new way to discover the classic sights of Australia and New Zealand through Fresh Tracks South Pacific.
