Follow the lights

Experience the wonder of the aurora borealis on Hurtigruten’s small group tour through Norway, Finland and Estonia.

From Oslo and Bergen to a stunning Norwegian coastal voyage, and a journey through Finland to Estonia, Hurtigruten’s Follow the Lights small group escorted tour takes you through some of the world’s most beautiful northern landscapes.

The 18-day adventure includes the classic ‘Norway in a Nutshell’ tour – a three-day train, coach and ferry journey from Oslo to Bergen. This ascends the Norwegian alps, offering jaw-dropping views of mountains, fjords and charming

Norwegian fjords. towns. It’s a perfect introduction to the extraordinary pristine natural beauty of the Nordic region.

Often described as the ‘world’s most beautiful voyage’, a highlight of the tour is the iconic Original Coastal Voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes, stopping at charming small towns along the coast. It’s here that you may see your first glimpse of the northern lights, the natural show that lights up the northern winter sky.

Following the seven-day voyage,

Finland’s beautiful national parks, forests and lakes are a highlight of this journey that takes you through to Helsinki and the beauty of medieval Tallinn.

All Follow the Lights departures are guaranteed. Our northern lights promise applies. For more information contact your RACT Travel team today.

DOUBLE THE QUOKKAS

SeaLink’s famous Quokka1 ferry out of Fremantle has just been joined by another high-speed, ultracomfortable catamaran, the Quokka2, offering the only direct ferry service from Perth’s CBD to Rottnest Island.

So as well as getting you to the island earlier (when it’s at its best) with no stops along the way, you can also enjoy a relaxing, fully narrated cruise down the beautiful Swan River, with full bar and cafe facilities.

Rottnest Island is just 20km off the coast of Perth and is home to more than 10,000 of the friendliest animals in the world – the quokka. Don’t miss your opportunity to join the likes of Roger Federer, Margot Robbie and Chris Hemsworth by snapping the famous ‘quokka selfie’ with this amazing little animal.

But Rottnest is more than just quokkas. It is also blessed with more than 60 pristine bays and beaches teaming with crystal clear waters and coral reefs, which are perfect for snorkelling, swimming or just lazing on the beach.

The spectacular scenery of Rottnest Island will not disappoint.

If that’s not enough, Rottnest has something to do for everyone – whether it be riding around the island on a bike; exploring the incredible Indigenous or military history through a number of world-class tours; sightseeing on a Segway; enjoying an amazing seafood lunch cruise; or relaxing in one of the numerous bars, restaurants or cafes in the Settlement; the island will not disappoint.

If you plan on staying longer than just a day, for a limited period a four-day, three-night package includes Superior Tent Accommodation at the new luxury eco-tents at Discovery Rottnest Island, return ferry fares and all government admission fees to this unique A-Class reserve from $340pp twin share.
