Both countries are among the most LGBTQ+ welcoming destinations in the world, with same-sex marriage legal and well established, and inclusive attitudes woven into everyday life. Out Of Office specialises in creating tailor-made itineraries to Australia and New Zealand, combining freedom of travel with refined luxury and seamless planning.
In Australia, the possibilities are vast. From the iconic harbour city of Sydney to the cultural energy of Melbourne, the relaxed lifestyle of Perth, and the sunshine and beaches of Brisbane, each destination offers a distinct character. We design journeys that flow effortlessly between cities and landscapes, whether that includes sightseeing in Sydney with a visit to the Sydney Opera House, wine tasting in nearby regions, or time on the coast at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast.

Known for some of the world’s best bungee jumping and outdoor pursuits, it is also defined by extraordinary natural beauty. From alpine mountains and glacial lakes to geothermal wonders and rugged coastlines, New Zealand offers unforgettable experiences for those who enjoy active travel balanced with comfort and style. Out Of Office curates itineraries that showcase the country’s highlights while ensuring the pace, accommodation, and experiences are perfectly matched to your travel style.
