From the vineyards of the Adelaide Hills to the private beaches of Fiji, this is a journey through the true icons of the Southern Hemisphere.

Round out the Australian leg with coastal days in Sydney, then cross the Tasman for New Zealand's dramatic Southern Alps at Queenstown and the thrill of Huka Falls near Taupo.

WHERE YOU'LL STAY
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ICONS
Australia
Begin with a gentle arrival into Adelaide, settling into the tranquil surrounds of Sequoia Lodge. Explore one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions with a private local guide, weaving between cool-climate vineyards, intimate cellar doors and eucalyptus forests where koalas laze high above. From here, take to the skies by private charter to Kangaroo Island, where Southern Ocean Lodge offers a front-row seat to one of Australia’s most extraordinary landscapes. Spend your days discovering windswept coastlines, ancient geological formations and abundant wildlife — from playful seals to wandering kangaroos — before returning to the lodge for indulgent evenings overlooking the wild Southern Ocean.
Continue south to Tasmania and the legendary Saffire Freycinet, where barefoot luxury meets one of the country’s most breathtaking settings. Each suite frames views of the Hazards Mountains, their granite peaks glowing rose and gold as the sun sets over Great Oyster Bay. Days unfold through immersive experiences that reveal the soul of the region — from Indigenous bush-tucker walks and conservation encounters to exceptional paddock-to-plate dining celebrating Tasmania’s finest produce.
Complete your Australian journey in Sydney, trading wilderness and wonder for the city’s effortless coastal energy. Cruise beneath the sails of the Opera House, feel the thrill of a private surf lesson on golden beaches, and embrace the art of the Australian weekend with leisurely afternoons by the water.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ICONS
New Zealand
Cross the Tasman to Queenstown, where design-led ROKI places you at the heart of New Zealand’s adventure capital, framed by sweeping views of the Southern Alps. Take to the skies by private helicopter over Milford Sound, trace the flavours of Central Otago’s celebrated wine country, and touch down on a glacier where ancient ice and alpine wilderness stretch endlessly before you.
Continue north to Huka Lodge, Taupo — a true icon of New Zealand luxury and one of the world’s most revered retreats. Hidden within 17 acres of manicured gardens along the banks of the Waikato River, Huka offers a rare combination of effortless hospitality, natural beauty and timeless elegance. Spend your days discovering the geothermal wonders of the region, casting a line in the renowned waters of the Waikato, soaring above steaming volcanic landscapes and alpine peaks, or feeling the raw power of Huka Falls from the water by jet boat. Evenings return you to the lodge’s riverside serenity, where exceptional cuisine and impeccable service take centre stage.
Complete your journey with a private exploration of the surreal limestone landscapes of Waitomo Caves, drifting beneath a canopy of glowworms in one of New Zealand’s most magical underground worlds. Continue to Auckland for a final night of comfort before your onward flight.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ICONS
Fiji
Fly direct from Auckland to Fiji, where in just a few hours the dramatic landscapes of New Zealand give way to the gentle rhythm of island life. Conclude your journey on Yasawa Island, a private paradise of impossibly turquoise waters, powder-soft beaches and endless horizons. Here, the pace slows naturally — days unfold around the tides, the sunshine, and whatever feels most restorative in the moment.
Retreat to the island’s world-class spa, where traditional Fijian healing rituals draw upon generations of local knowledge, or surrender to the simple pleasures of barefoot island living. Paddle across hidden coves by kayak, snorkel vibrant coral gardens, swim in crystalline lagoons, or simply let the hours drift by beneath the shade of a palm tree. Share an intimate gourmet picnic on a secluded stretch of sand, toast the sunset with your feet in the shallows, and connect with the warmth and generosity of Fijian culture through experiences that reveal the spirit of the islands.
With nowhere to be and nothing left to chase, Yasawa offers the perfect final chapter — a place to pause, reflect and savour the journey that came before. Leave restored by the rhythm of the South Pacific, carrying with you memories of wild landscapes, extraordinary encounters and the quiet magic of island life.
