Cape Tribulation


Cape Tribulation is located in northern Queensland, Australia. This untouched area can be found within the Daintree National Park and the Wet Tropics World Heritage area. It was named by British explorer James Cook after his ship crashed into what is now Endeavour Reef. Although vegetation growth was not popular, Cape Tribulation has a natural scenic rainforest with magical lagoons and pristine beaches.

Visitors can explore and trek through the tropical rainforest, snorkel and dive the reefs, taste exotic fruits and go on a safari ride.

Franz Josef Glacier


The South Island's most renowned explorer and geologist, Julius von Haast, named Franz Josef Glacier after the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Franz Josef Glacier is a remnant of a much older, larger glacier which flowed from the alpine snowfields right to the sea. The glacier is over 7.5 miles long extending into the rainforest just 3 miles from the Franz Josef township, making it easy to visit. Walk to viewpoints and the terminal face or, for a close-up view of the spectacular ice formations, take a guided glacier walk, helihike or scenic flight.
