Melbourne to Kangaroo Island Adventure

We combined 2 Intrepid tours to see many bucket list sights in SW Victoria and Kangaroo Island — linked by a train ride from Stawell to Adelaide. Every day was full of surprises and delights.

Incredible Balkan Experience Across Three Countries. This tour through Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania exceeded expectations in every way. It was the perfect introduction to the Balkans - diverse, scenic, and culturally rich. In Croatia, highlights included walking through the historic streets of Dubrovnik, stunning seaside boardwalks in Split & Zadar, read more and exploring the stunning coastline along the Adriatic. Montenegro offered breathtaking views in Kotor, with its dramatic mountains and beautiful bay - easily one of the most picturesque stops on the trip.
Albania was a big surprise. The vibrant and progressive capital Tirana gave a unique mix of history and modern energy. The food across all three countries was fresh, flavorful, and very affordable. The itinerary was well-paced, balancing guided tours with free time to explore independently. Transportation was smooth, border crossings were handled efficiently, and hotels were well curated, comfortable and centrally located.
What made the trip stand out was our guide, Viktor Holub - knowledgeable, friendly, funny and passionate about the region. His insights, together with the excellently chosen local guides, gave us interesting information into Balkan history and culture which added a lot of depth to the experience. Overall: This is an excellent tour for first-time visitors to the Balkans who want a comprehensive overview without the stress of planning. Highly recommended.

The tour was fantastic. Very full on but we saw a lot. Highlights were the townships we stayed in along the way and climbing Mt Etna. Hannah gave us the confidence that we were getting quality for our money and we weren't being scammed.

The trip was well organized with a variety of attractions and activities, supplemented by stories and anecdotes shared by the guide. Accommodations were comfortable and stylish.

Highlights of Sri Lanka with Maldive Dhoni Cruise (West Coast)
Victoria, NSW, Australia, Feb 2026
My Sri Lanka tour was very good. Best accommodation. Right in front of the ocean. All the activities were very good. The food the family prepared was delicious. Most people over older so the ambiance was good except a lady who was talking on the bus and off the bus, continuously. She was answering the questions we were addressing to our guide. She was read more controlling everything. Maldives boat trip was absolutely amazing. The guide and crew took so much care of us and gave us the most beautiful experiences. I tell everyone in my world how amazing this 6 days Maldives cruises has been. Our Sri Lankan cook was excellent. He presented so many dishes for each meal. This cruise was above my expectations by far. I am still mesmerised. My best cruise ever.
Global Journeys once again professional in every aspect of their service special mention to Georgie. Vikings itinerary fantastic for Santiago to Buenos Aires ensure your Portside for best views. Service and organisation of tours excellent.
Be aware there are a few sea days extra as we missed Falkland Islands high winds. Extension Iguazza Falls brilliant read more but very tiring as no free time longs days. Advice is this is extended by one day in both Brazil and Rio! Great memories so glad we saw parts of South America 🌺

Excellent tour of South Island NZ, suitable for senior citizens 0
Signature South Island Solo Travellers
Ron, WA, Australia, Feb 2026
This tour was very well organised and run. The coach, the hotel accomodation and the meals were all of a very high standard. Sue, the tour leader, did a great job under sometimes very trying circumstances. Some of the more elderly members of the group could be very demanding at times, but Sue managed to keep them all (mostly) happy. The itinerary was read more very well thought out and we saw most of the really amazing sights of the South Island. Younger people (and men) may well prefer a demographic profile that suits them better.
Luxury Cruise around New Zealand 0
New Zealand Delights
Graham and Caroline, SA, Australia, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful time cruising around New Zealand on Scenic Eclipse 2. The staff and service were excellent, and the food in all the restaurants was very good. Captain Torry Sakkariassen was brilliant and very accommodating with his time. He was very happy to welcome and talk to all guests on the Bridge. We booked this cruise very late after it had read more been booked out and someone cancelled. We got Suite 702 which sits on its own next to the Bridge. We did wonder if it might be noisy with all the activity around the Bridge, but it was completely silent. We also thought it was slightly larger than the average Deluxe Veranda Suite. We would definitely book this suite again. The cruise ran seamlessly with smooth sailing other than a couple of rough nights sailing around the bottom of the South Island. Definitely take your sea sickness medication for this area. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this cruise, and we will definitely cruise on Scenic Eclipse 2 again.
Azamara Chilean Fjords 0
Edwin and Madeliene, NSW, Australia, Feb 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Azamara Quest through the Chilean Fjords and coastline. We do not routinely take cruises however seeing the Chilean coastline and some of its maritime glaciers was on our bucket list; we were not disappointed. Azamara vessels are relatively small by modern cruise standards and this enables them to spend most of their read more time in the inland channels, which provides for smooth sailing and lots of sightseeing between ports.
Service and food on Azamara were great. We especially enjoyed the complimentary White Night with plentiful seafood including lobster. Whilst their standard dining menus contained Gluten free options they were happy to specially adapt most menu items to gluten-free provided we pre-ordered.
Special thanks to Tracey our Global Journey's Advisor who came to our rescue when our flights from BA to Ushuaia were cancelled because of a general strike. Tracey managed to find us flights the next day despite them not being generally available.
