Ocenia Tour Guide
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.

What is the minimum budget for a 10‑day Australia trip from India?
Mid‑range travel (flights, hotels, car hire, activities) starts at ₹2–2.5 lakh per person. Costs can be optimised by booking early and choosing off‑peak seasons.

Everything was smooth especially their 24X7 support. Still I found out the discrepency b/w what is mentioned on App vouchers vs What has been told to us by the team. (We had told that Airport transfers would be private but they end up providing us the sharing transfers) It should have communicated to us beforehand.

I had a wonderful experience with my first international trip which was Balu. Since its my first time visit, I has relatively very low to no experience & PickmyTrail guided me each step. They answered numerous questions that I was holding & supported me throughout my journey. Solo travel is fun but its safe when you are guided in right way throughout the trip. Thank you guys!
