Globus and Cosmos have given new life to the Aussie and Kiwi travel industry with the launch of 13 new and exciting itineraries that are designed for locals and destined to deliver on incredible travel experiences you never knew existed in your own backyard…
It’s common wisdom that when one door closes, another one opens.
True, COVID has vanquished all hopes of travelling far off to distant lands. But then again, why do we equate distance with desirability? The fact is, there’s a whole world of exciting travelling possibility literally at our footstep, and, stretching a little further, just on the other side of that sparkling blue ditch…
These new tours, nine in Australia and four in New Zealand, have a massive geographic spread, visiting over 70 towns and cities and enlisting the local help of 65 new suppliers. And, most importantly, each tour bulges with incredible experience after incredible experience, day after day, night after night.
What’s more, in-line with keeping everybody safe during these crazy COVID times, you’ll be happy to know that these tours all feature solid health and safety precautions to keep everyone fit and healthy. For example, trips will have a maximum capacity of 24 guests to allow for comfortable physical distancing.
Moreover, new on-trip protocols and procedures have also been put in place to elevate Globus and Cosmos’ already high hygiene standards to help mitigate the risk of infection. These procedures include pre-trip health screenings for staff and guests, daily disinfecting, reduced luggage handling and pre-screening each restaurant, activity and accommodation to ensure its Covid-safe.
But back to the trips.
We’d literally need to write a book to tell you about all the places you could go and all things you could do with these new offerings. But nobody got time for that!
Instead, we’ve gathered up five fave local experiences that feature in these new tours and listed them below. Just click on the link below them to learn more… Or visit cosmostours.com.au and globus.com.au to check them all out.
Also, make sure you read until the very end, because, as to be expected with every new launch, there are some awesome promo savings to be had…
1. Paddle in Paradise in New Zealand
Kayak on NZ’s largest lake, Lake Taupo, on a guided kayaking tour.

2. Visit a UNECSO Site Across the Ditch
You don’t have to travel to the other side of the globe to tick off a natural wonder that’s the envy of the world. But you do have to fly over the Tasman Sea. Milford Sound – ring a bell? ha! – is a UNESCO World Heritage Site adorned with waterfalls and dramatic cliffs and full of fur seals, dolphins and Fiordland-crested penguins. You can experience all of this on a stunning dinner cruise with the chance of on-deck star-gazing when the universe comes out to play…

Kakadu National Park is an education in why we should be so, so, so very proud to call Australia home.
