Discover the best ways to see Australia and New Zealand in 2025 with these new trips and revamped classics.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Australia and New Zealand are so saturated with epic cities, soul-stirring landscapes and cultural wonders that\u00a0you may never get to experience them all \u2013 even if you\u2019re a local. But it\u2019s worth a shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From spotting koalas in the wild on Magnetic Island\u00a0to spending the night in a vineyard near Queenstown, here\u2019s how to get a fresh take on Australia and New Zealand in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spot koalas on Magnetic Island\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Magnetic Island makes its Intrepid debut on the new 18 to 35s Essential Brisbane to Cairns<\/a> trip. The mountainous island is perfect for hiking or unwinding<\/a> on the beach. With one of Australia\u2019s largest wild koala populations, spotting these cute creatures is also a highlight of the 10-day adventure. Walk along the coast in Noosa National Park, reaching Hell\u2019s Gate Lookout \u2013 a much more attractive view than the name suggests.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tour Thursday Island with a Torres Strait Islander\u00a0<\/h2>\n

If learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture is part of your Australia plans (and it should be), check out the new Cape York and Torres Strait Explorer<\/a> trip. You\u2019ll go on a bush food and medicine walk with an Aboriginal guide near Cooktown before venturing beyond the mainland\u2019s northernmost point to tour Thursday Island with a local Torres Strait Islander. You\u2019ll also camp overnight<\/a> at the coconut-lined Chilli Beach \u2013 the perfect combo of chilling out and cultural immersion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Make waves on SUP and sailing adventures\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Like all of Intrepid\u2019s 18 to 35s trips<\/a>, the new Real Australia<\/a> adventure offers plenty of flexibility over its two weeks. But what makes this comprehensive East Coast itinerary so special is the group activities sprinkled in between the free time \u2013 like stand-up paddleboarding near Coffs Harbour with a guide from the Gumbaynggirr community, where you\u2019ll learn about Aboriginal culture as you glide along the river<\/a>. Or the two-day sailing trip<\/a> in the Whitsundays, giving you plenty of time to snorkel and scuba in the Coral Sea.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wake up in a rainforest lodge\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Sick of staring at the same laptop screen for 40 hours a week? On the new Sydney to Brisbane<\/a> 18 to 35s trip you can swap digital overload for an eye-cleansing, immersive adventure through Australia\u2019s untamed landscapes \u2013 from lush national parks to golden sandy beaches<\/a>. You\u2019ll spend time in Byron Bay and Port Macquarie \u2013 two East Coast spots known for their natural beauty \u2013 and spend a night in a rainforest lodge<\/a>. You\u2019re sure to feel the healing properties of nature<\/a> with this one.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soak in a hot tub after a wine-tasting session\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Premium New Zealand Encompassed<\/a> covers a lot of ground in 18 days, so for 2025 Intrepid has added some new experiences to help you recharge. Spend the night at a Gibbson Valley vineyard, washing away any tension with a\u00a0soak in the hot tub after a three-course meal and wine-tasting session. Then, in Queenstown, cruise along Lake Whakatipu to a nearby farm\u202fand share a gourmet barbeque dinner with your hosts. \u00a0<\/p>\n

See wild seals in Kaikoura\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The North to South Island Adventure<\/a> (and its reverse itinerary, South Island to North Adventure<\/a>) has been revamped for 2025 in response to traveller feedback. On a newly extended 11-day itinerary, you\u2019ll ferry across the Cook Strait and travel further south, all the way to Christchurch. This allows for a more relaxed pace, extra free time<\/a> and the chance to spot wild seals and humpback whales in Kaikoura.\u00a0<\/p>\n
