The month-long festivities climax the week of our visit. The grand finale is the magnificent night-time parade attracting nearly a million spectators, leading to the all-night dance party of 22,000 people. If you've never been, you'd never believe it!

Above your Expectations, Beyond your Wildest Dreams!

This is the philosophy that drives Above and Beyond Tours. Each of your vacations are hard-earned and well-deserved. Each of your vacations should be unique, memorable and designed around your personal interests and desires.

We’re sure you’ll want to discover as much of Australia and the South Pacific as your time allows...

Tropical Recovery (Mar 3-8, 2008) is the ideal way to experience one of the Wonders of the World which is a must-see for every visitor – The Great Barrier Reef (land rates from $595).

The sophisticated cultural capital of Melbourne is an unexpected contrast to Sydney. There are other celebrations around the country such as Alice IS Wonderland in the Outback and the Fringe Festival in Adelaide. We believe the end to a perfect Aussie holiday is nine days of indulgence in the scenic and friendly island state of Tasmania. Don’t forget Australia’s more reserved, but equally enchanting, neighbor and live your own New Zealand Adventure.
