New Zealand and Australia await you. Fantasy shows you lovely New Zealand from the very top to the very bottom by RV Caravan. Visit the cultural center of the Maori people, Glow Worm caves and Grottos, Nocturnal Kiwi Houses, Sheep shows, geothermal areas, the Southern Alps, quaint towns, villages and pristine countryside. Incredible diversity!
Then we cross the Tasman Sea to Australia to collect our RVs and head “outback” to camp with the Roos, Emus and Koalas. This outstanding trip Caravans to the Opal fields, Surfers Paradise, the Australia Zoo (home of the Crocodile Hunter) and you’ll even get to cuddle a Koala! You’ll take a boat cruise through the lovely Whitsunday Islands to swim, snorkel or dive on the Great Barrier Reef.
The optional 10 day extension takes you way outback to the “Red Center” to visit the famous icon Uluru (Ayers Rock), an outbush Aboriginal experience, a very unusual Didgeridoo performance, an elegant dinner served out in the bush and you’ll possibly see wild camels, dingoes, brumbies, thorny devils, the unusual School of the Air and much much more!
A very popular after tour option is to kick back and relax on the exotic beaches of Fiji on your way home. It’s really easy, Fantas makes all the arrangements at a lovely Island Resort for you.
If you have never traveled internationally don’t worry, it’s very safe with your Fantasy Wagonmasters who have made many trips “Downunder”. They will be with you all the way, starting in the USA.
