Oceania feels like a world apart - where nature still takes the lead. It’s a place where the wild remains wild, and Indigenous cultures are deeply rooted in land and sea. It calls to travellers who crave open space, raw beauty, and a true sense of adventure.

It’s made for those who feel most alive hiking through extraordinary landscapes, swimming in crystal-clear waters, sleeping under the stars, and learning from traditions that have shaped these lands for thousands of years.

We’ve only just begun to explore Oceania, but its spirit leaves a strong mark. Below, you’ll find the countries we’ve visited so far, along with our top experiences and travel guides to help you plan your next trip.

It’s hard not to fall for New Zealand. With its wild, cinematic landscapes, rich Māori culture, and laidback energy, the country feels both adventurous and grounding at the same time.

You can boat to dramatic fjords, soak in geothermal hot springs, kayak past glowworm caves, or visit real-life movie sets like Hobbiton.

For outdoorsy travellers, it doesn’t get much better: New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world where you can freedom camp in nature, meaning you can wake up next to a beach, a lake, or a mountain - no hotels required.

Whether you’re road-tripping in a campervan or just craving fresh air and jaw-dropping views, New Zealand delivers the kind of magic that sticks with you long after you’ve left.
