Sushi, samurai, speeding bullet trains and serene temples will get your trip off to an incredible start in Japan. Make sure to visit Kyoto while here, the country’s cultural capital is home to the mystical Geisha – a fascinating and often misunderstood profession.

Western Australia is an often overlooked and wonderfully exciting destination – from the sunny seaside suburbs of Perth you can snorkel with whale sharks off Ningaloo Reef, feed playful dolphins in Monkey Mia, sample world-class wines in Margaret River and dissect the country through the iconic Red Centre to see the epic Uluru en route to Sydney and the east coast. If you wish to see a bit of the coast hire a car and take a drive south through incredible natural terrain to the laid-back metropolis of Melbourne, or journey north to the beaches of the Gold Coast and the exciting hub of Brisbane in Queensland.

New Zealand is an adrenalin seeker’s playground – jetboating and bungy jumping in Queenstown, skydiving in Taupo and zorbing in Rotorua will be sure to get your heart racing! After all that excitement there is no better place to relax than on the sparkling beaches of Fiji – for a beautiful budget stay head to the Mamanuca Islands or for a luxury getaway the Yasawas are the spot for you.
