Like many tourists, your heart is torn between New Zealand and Australia. It's true that both countries have their own personality and undeniable charms. So why choose? Why not treat yourself to a combined trip to Australia and New Zealand? How do you organise your trip? What can't you miss?
Getting organised from the outset
It's best to plan your trip well in advance. Don't forget that you're going to the other side of the world! So it's a good idea to be well organised. What's more, by booking early, you stand a good chance of taking advantage of attractive fares or a special offer on the price of your ticket.
To travel to Australia, you need a visa. If you plan to be away for less than 3 months, a simple eVisitor Visa may suffice. You can apply for one on the official website set up by the Australian government (by clicking on "Apply"). Apply ").
For all trips to New Zealand, a NZeTA will be required. The NZeTA allows you to enter and leave the country as often as you wish for a period of 2 years, for stays of 90 days. You are authorised to stay for a maximum of 6 months per year.
Australia, not just surfers
Australia is often associated with red sandy deserts and coastlines overrun with bleached-haired surfers. But that's not all Australia has to offer. It's also breathtaking landscapes under a scorching sun (even in winter, the temperature doesn't drop below 20°C). If you visit Australia, you must see the Great Barrier Reef, a veritable underwater paradise.
When it comes to cities, Australia has a few pleasant surprises in store, such as Sydney, the country's largest city, considered to be one of the most pleasant cities in the world (in 10th place in the official rankings). You'll also need to visit Melbourne. If you're more of a nature lover, get lost in the Australian bush. But be careful you don't run into any bad encounters... poisonous ones!
New Zealand, a journey to Middle-earth
If you're familiar with the film series "The Lord of the Rings", then you'll already have caught a glimpse of some of New Zealand's typical landscapes. More contrasted than in Australia, New Zealand's different panoramas mix subtropical forests as well as volcanoes and fjords.
New Zealand's largest cities, Auckland and Wellington, also feature in the ranking of the world's most pleasant cities, beating even Australian cities! Although less modern and smaller, New Zealand's cities still offer a great deal to see and do.
