Scenic Tour Directors Being a Scenic Tour Director is not just a job, it’s a lifetime passion. Your Tour Director’s role is to make sure your journey exceeds your expectations and to manage each element of your land journey so you see everything listed in your itinerary at an enjoyable pace.

Scenic Enrich Our expert Journey Designers have handpicked a range of unique and unforgettable experiences that will be among the highlights of your journey. View the Great Barrier Reef as you fly over in a helicopter, dine in the light of a thousand bulbs as the sun sets over Ayers Rock, indulge at Australia’s first biodynamic winery in McLaren Vale, and hear Mãori tales on a tour of New Zealand’s Tane Mahuta. Scenic Freechoice Your included Scenic Freechoice activities are designed to give you a range of exceptional experiences that allow you to personalise your journey, at a pace that suits you. Active, medium and comfortable paced options ensure there’s something for everyone. From history to culture, cuisine to nature, there’s a wealth of options, whatever your interests.

Immersive Accommodation Our accommodation is selected on more than reputation alone, but on a combination of location, character and ambiance. This ensures your stays are reflective of your destination for a truly immersive experience. Stay in a spectacular waterfront location amidst the rugged beauty of the outback, or in a stylish central city hotel. And in smaller, more remote towns, the best available accommodation has been chosen from limited options in the region. Rail Journeys Embark on breathtaking rail journeys through New Zealand. Travel through the heart of the South Island on board the TranzAlpine across the spectacular landscapes of the Southern Alps. The stunning alpine scenery will leave you in awe. While on board, you can enjoy beautifully-appointed cabins, delicious snacks and, of course, extraordinary vistas.

Cruise Waking up on Milford Sound is one of life’s great pleasures. Explore this breathtaking fiord on board the Milford Mariner, with the opportunity to uncover this majestic region further by kayak or small boat during the day. Dine on a delicious evening buffet and wake up to an incredible sunrise amidst this spectacular natural beauty the next morning. Carefully selected to offer you the utmost comfort and intimacy on board, you can expect an awe-inspiring cruise with our partner.
