Review: Tour of Australia & New Zealand, Kangaroo Island, Port Douglas, Queenstown

We would probably take at least an extra week. There were a couple of instances when we felt rushed to make connections, and were unable to spend more time. (i.e. Adelaide, we flew in and right out both ways, so we didn’t see any of it except from the car ride to the Hotel.) Also, we were late arriving and had limited dining options at a couple of hotels.

We would allow more time for the travel timing and connections. Several early morning departures and tours after long days prior. Would like to have had a couple more down days.

The in-country airlines have different carry-on baggage rules. Not a fan of Jetstar and their surcharges,  would stick to Virgin Australia and Qantas where possible.

We would try to avoid the buses. Necessary to get to and from the glacier area of New Zealand unless you drive, but still a long day.

I think an extra week would’ve been able to alleviate most of these. On the whole, the schedule worked out though. So no fault of the travel company.

Would probably wait until mid-February to travel. January and early February is a busy time with the in-country holidays and the Lunar New Year. Lots of people on the go!
