    • GlobusOperatorWritten April 2024

      For the upcoming tour, internal air service is not available. You'll need to arrange internal flights independently through commercial airlines. Here's the hotel list for the tour: Cairns - Pullman Cairns International, Uluru - Desert Gardens Hotel, Sydney - Swissotel Sydney, Queenstown - Copthorne Hotel & Resort Queenstown Lakefront, Rotorua - Distinction Hotel Rotorua, Auckland - Adina Auckland Britomart. Note: Hotel listings are subject to change until 30 days before departure.

  • D

    Donald

    Asked on April 16th, 2024

    I would know how things work with the intra-travel flights. Does each participant have to take care of purchasing the various airline tickets, freely choosing those more suitable to her/him? Or rather you purchase the tickets and price them separately?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • GlobusOperatorWritten April 2024

      You can do either! This itinerary gives travelers the options to book their own intra-vacation flights OR book them with us. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to price intra-vacation air for this departure, but the price without the flights would be as follows: $5,399.00 - Land Cost, $626.00 - Solo Traveler Supp (Services), $2,145.00 - Single Supplement (Hotels), $8,170.00 - Land Only Gross Total.
