Popular Destinations in Oceania

Australia: Melbourne and Sydney are generally the most known cities in Australia although small cities such as Adelaide (in South Australia) and any of the Queensland cities are hidden gems. While a lot of people are scared of travelling to Australia with the fear that everything tries to kill you. You’ll likely spend a full trip and never see a spider or snake (unless you head into the outback).

New Zealand: People tend to think that New Zealand is part of Australia and while Aussies are very friendly with New Zealanders, it is in fact it’s own country. New Zealand is well known for its rugby team, indigenous Maori culture and its picturesque landscape. You can start your day in the North Island, Auckland city, head to Rotorua and enjoy natural springs and end your day up in the snowy mountains.

Fiji: Fiji is generally known as a fairly expensive but stunning place to visit. Most people arrive via cruise ships or head over for their honeymoon. Legendary Jacques Cousteau dubbed Fiji the “Soft Coral Capital of the World” because of its abundance of breathtaking diving and snorkelling locations. Go underwater to discover cool coral-covered walls, eerie caverns and canyons, and small lagoons rich with aquatic life.
