Experience Australia

With an escorted Tour with Pukekohe Travel

Australia offers an extraordinary mix of rugged outback landscapes, vibrant cities, tropical coastlines, unique wildlife, and relaxed local charm. From the pristine wilderness of Tasmania and the tropical beauty of Queensland, to the mighty Murray River and the timeless red centre of Alice Springs, there is always something new to discover across the Tasman.

At Pukekohe Travel, we specialise in escorted Australian tours that go well beyond the typical highlights — combining cruising, iconic rail journeys, coach, and scenic touring to showcase the very best of this remarkable country. For rail lovers, few experiences rival travelling aboard The Ghan through the heart of Australia or the Indian Pacific across the continent from Sydney to Perth — and we build both into our carefully crafted itineraries.

One of our most unique offerings is our exclusive Australian cruise and rail journeys — available only through Pukekohe Travel in New Zealand. These itineraries allow travellers to explore sections of Australia by cruise ship before continuing inland aboard one of the country's great trains, letting you experience far more of the country without needing to sail the entire coastline.

Easy to reach and endlessly rewarding, Australia remains one of the most popular destinations for New Zealand travellers — and one of the most varied.
