Our tours may look similar to others you've seen, but we invite you to shop & compare. There are important differences that make Friendly Planet tours the best you can find.
No Compromise on Quality: Despite our extraordinary prices, there are no compromises on our Australia, New Zealand & Fiji tours. Throughout your tour you'll stay in Superior & Deluxe, centrally located hotels that are noted for their amenities and service.
Credit Cards or Cash: You asked, and we listened! Whether you pay by check, money order or your favorite major credit card, your tour price on this tour is the same. There is no extra cost to charge your dream vacation to Australia, New Zealand & Fiji. Credit Card Authorization Form.
Included Features: Your transfers as well as all the important touring are included, not expensive extras as in other tours. Fuel surcharges, which can add hundreds of dollars to your tour price, are also already included.
Friendly Flexibility: Not everyone's idea of a perfect trip is the same, so while it's not always possible to accommodate every wish, we will certainly try our best. We've been accused of twisting ourselves into pretzels to make our passengers happy. To us it's just business as usual!
Personal Service: Most important of all, the extra ingredient that makes our tours stand apart from others—the wonderful, personal attention you'll receive from our friendly staff in the USA and our representatives Down Under —is completely free of charge. Compare our Australia, New Zealand & Fiji programs to others, feature for feature. You'll see for yourself that ours are the very best value for money you'll find anywhere.
