AAT Kings

Between their world-class cities, majestic monoliths and incredible Lord of the Rings scenery, Australia and New Zealand are generously scattered with natural wonders. Get all the best experiences on a guided tour curated and led by experts at our partners, AAT Kings.

We’ve teamed up with AAT Kings to give you the best choice of tours in Australia and New Zealand. They’re experts in guided tours and day trips which include must-sees like Uluru (Ayers Rock), Sydney and New Zealand’s Fiordland. You’ll be accompanied by a Travel Director or Driver Guide who’ll share local insider knowledge as you visit iconic sites. Most tours include accommodation ranging from premium brands to one-of-akind stays, selected meals and special dining experiences, plus days where you’ll get to pick your favourite excursion.

INSPIRING JOURNEYS: The best way to see these countries’ famous attractions on tour is with AAT Kings’ Inspiring Journeys. They’re luxury small group tours of up to 20 people, where you’ll stay in boutique and award-winning accommodation, dine on gourmet food and have amazing experiences like sea kayaking on Milford Sound and walking among sacred giant trees with a Māori guide.

GUIDED HOLIDAYS: AAT Kings’s classic guided touring option comes in two collections: premium First Choice and flexible Best Buys. First Choice has a slower pace and more good quality stays over two nights, handpicked dining highlights and a selection of optional excursions. Best Buys tick off the major sites faster with lots of optional experiences and the freedom to dine out more.

SHORT BREAKS: These two- to five-day packages are perfect to slot into your holiday. You’ll get the perks of a guided tour with day trip-style sightseeing and the flexibility to personalise the rest of your trip.
