For Indian travellers looking for a blend of luxury, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes, Oceania ticks every box. From Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef and Sydney Harbour to New Zealand’s dreamy fjords, adventure towns, and Māori culture, this continent is nature’s playground.

Whether you're exploring coral reefs, hiking volcanoes, or stargazing in New Zealand, Oceania offers Indian travellers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With careful planning and our detailed guide, Indian travellers can navigate Oceania’s wonders effortlessly and create unforgettable memories across its diverse landscapes and cultures.

It was really a good experience with pickyourtrail. Everything went very smooth and thanks to the PYT team. Did not face any issues with any transfers or the activities customised in the itinerary, all went as planned and on time. Small suggestion (not that important considering implementation will be very difficult) is to give some room for the last minute update in transfer timings for the private and shared transfers or atleast to have option to choose from 2 time slots for pickup and drop for shared transfers, so we will have some room to relax after the activities.
