Australia has always been the most popular destination for young Kiwis to visit, now more than ever with the trans-Tasman bubble opening. In New South Wales you’ll find endless variety and beauty – from the golden sands and clear waters of the Northern Beaches, to the wild expanse of the Blue Mountains. Modern Sydney is also chic and sophisticated, with some of the world’s finest cuisine and arts venues.
Travellers arriving into certain states of Australia from New Zealand do not have to quarantine, however travellers returning to New Zealand at this stage need to quarantine on arrival due to covid-19.
