Australia, New Zealand and Fiji are not ordinary destinations, so the way travellers want to experience them shouldn’t be ordinary either.

With its 2020 line-up of South Pacific vacations, Globus invites travellers to throw caution to the wind – and maybe even a boomerang in the bush – while travelling the red roads of the Australian Outback and the breezy beaches of Fiji. With five NEW escorted group vacations that showcase the awe-inspiring sights, sounds, tastes and experiences of the South Pacific, Globus is delivering journeys from which dreams are made.

“We’re seeing a significant increase in interest in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji as travellers put them high on their wish-lists,” says Stéphanie Bishop of the Globus family of brands’ Canadian office. “As a result, we’ve increased our vacations by 50 per cent with new, immersive journeys to Australia – including Tasmania – and to New Zealand.” Memorable moments, she adds, include a visit to a kangaroo sanctuary on the Australian Safari, a premium wine-tasting on the Best Kept Secret: Western Australia tour and exploring the surprisingly delicious foodie culture of the island state on the Wild Tasmania tour.

Transportation is by air-conditioned motorcoach with free WiFi so passengers can share their memories as they happen. Plus there’s no concern about driving on the “wrong” side of the road!
