Wildlife & Wilderness

Visiting a zoo is not the same as voyaging into the wild. Let Down Under Endeavours take you to a world of epic landscapes and animal encounters. Kayak among fur seals in the quiet mist of New Zealand’s fjords or hear the lion’s roar on a South African safari. Dive the vibrant depths of the Great Barrier Reef or snorkel through the impossible blue of Fiji’s sea caves. Cuddle a koala or keep a careful distance from crocodiles in Kadadu. Rise early for a champagne breakfast with kangaroos in the Outback or hike through the night to spot the endangered Tasmanian Devil. Leave the nature documentaries to your friends at home and discover the awe-inspiring world with DUE.

New Zealand's Penguins, Fiordlands & Wilderness

New Zealand is an excellent destination for off-the-beaten path experiences with the beautiful mountain scenery as your playground.

Visit the penguins at sunrise on the Otago Peninsula, kayak in Fiordland National Park, explore White Island (a marine volcano) and go bird watching on Tiri Tiri Matangi. The gorgeous scenery paired with the unique wildlife are an adventure’s dream.
