Jet set to the Southern Hemisphere

It’s January. This is the time of year when, after the Christmas and New Year celebrations are out of the way, our thoughts start to turn towards holidays. It might be cold, dark and dreary now, but if we start planning right away, we can be jetting off to somewhere hot or tropical come the summer. In fact, it’s not necessary to wait until the summer to book a cheap international tour package. All kinds of exciting and wonderful holidays are available all year round.

With the northern hemisphere currently in the midst of winter, a holiday at this time of year might be best taken in the southern hemisphere – particularly for those who like to catch a bit of sun while they’re away. There’s plenty of fantastic cheap international tour packages available in that part of the world, and a great diversity of options. Some of the places we’d recommend you visit in the first few months of the year include South Africa, Australia, South America and New Zealand.

Unfortunately, it’s probably not possible to visit all of these places during one trip, so it’s a good idea to pick one and focus on putting together a suitable itinerary for that country or region. If you find a decent tour operator, they will be able to help you select the places which are most suited to the kind of holiday you want. If you want action and adventure, then New Zealand might be the destination of choice for you. Here you can travel around two beautiful islands (north island and south island), and get involved in some bungee jumping or sky diving, white water rafting or caving, camping or canoeing.

Or if you’re more into beaches, and would like to spend some time relaxing on beautiful white sands, then Australia might be what you’re looking for. Bondi Beach in Sydney, Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island and Burleigh Heads Beach on the Gold Coast.

Just tell your tour operator what you’re interested in and they’ll make sure it’s included in your package. As mentioned earlier, weather is an important factor when travelling. It can really make or break a holiday. So it’s always worth checking that the climate, whenever you’re travelling, suits you. Also, don’t forget to clarify whether or not you need visas for the countries you’ll be visiting. This is something the tour operator can help you with as well as getting good international tour package.
