More uplifting sights await in the “Land Down Under” as you take a spin on Melbourne’s Star Observation Wheel, a dip in the kaleidoscope of coral-filled ocean at the Great Barrier Reef, and a ferry across Sydney Harbour to see the Opera House and other harmonious sights. While you’re sure to take plenty of pictures on this tour of the South Pacific, we’ll take one of you with a crocodile or koala for the ultimate souvenir. Did you know the koala sleeps an average of 20 hours a day? Why not add three nights in Fiji to your tour of the South Pacific and curl up in a beachside hammock yourself? Between naps, you’ll enjoy a Sigatoka River Safari and the sun, fun, and genuine warmth of the islanders.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Most of the hotels we stayed were not very satisfactory. Novotel Hotels were not very clean and we had to request a new room due to bug issues. As to Sofitel Fiji, staff were great but bathroom and room need a makeover. Four Points Sheraton in Sydney with great location and views was the best hotel we stayed during this trip. Most excursions in Australia were a waste of money and time since there is not much to see in Australia. New Zealand was beautiful. Fiji was lots of fun if you go to its private islands.
