What’s New for February

Jam-packed with activities for all ages, this full-day Waiheke Island Eco Zip and Wine Tour offers great value. Experience a mix of adventure and leisure time, from letting your inner Tarzan out on the zipline to going on a guided eco walk and then checking out the renowned wine scene (good news for the adults: this includes complimentary tastings!). Heads up for those not staying on the island, you will need to catch the ferry from Auckland on your own and pay for the ticket separately.

Consider your fam a bunch of foodies? Then this delicious Newtown Street Art & Food Tour will go down a treat. Get a taste for the Newtown food scene as you admire the colourful artwork that paint the streets. Trying three to four different cuisines, explore this eclectic neighbourhood before making your way to the final stop at a popular brewery where the adults of the clan can enjoy a tasting paddle or craft beer. This one is three hours long and involves a lot of walking, so wear comfy shoes!

Heading up to Port Douglas but short on time? This is the tour to add to your itinerary. Covering a lot of the Daintree Rainforest in one go, the tour includes a guided walk, an exciting crocodile and wildlife cruise and even a natural rockpool and waterfall. After working up an appetite, dig into the included gourmet lunch and enjoy a fruit tasting. You’ll be in the sun most of the time so packing sunglasses, a hat and plenty of sunscreen is advised.

Go for a drive - we mean ride - on the water. The kids will get a kick out of this Fiat 500 boat tour on the Gold Coast. Built to look like the real deal, this cool experience is a fun way to fit in some sightseeing as you cruise the shimmering waters of the Goldie. One of only 500 in the world, you’ve gotta see it for yourself! Make sure to purchase a captain's hat while you’re there (it’ll make for the cutest pics with the kids).

Best. Sleepover. Ever. Give the fam a taste of life on the sea with this two-night Whitsunday Islands sailing adventure on an 82-foot yacht. The ultimate way to see this part of North Queensland, you’ll visit the iconic Whitehaven Beach, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and explore the gorgeous Hill Inlet. Fantastic value, all meals and equipment are included. Just keep in mind that you can only take airline sized carry-on bags onboard, so skip the big suitcases!
