10 Best Things To Do In Oceania 2026 | Top10Adventures®

Welcome to Oceania

Oceania is a vast region of scattered islands that spans the Eastern and Western Hemispheres in the equatorial zones of the North and South Pacific Oceans. Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea are Oceania’s largest land masses, while Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia are made up of thousands of tiny islands and coral atolls. Possibilities are endless in Oceania. Travelers in the region can enjoy everything from the urban bustle and famous landmarks of Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast in Australia, to the snow-capped mountains and rainforests of New Zealand, to beachside bungalows in secluded hideaways and surfers’ retreats among the islands of Fiji, Tonga, and Tahiti.

Tekapo Star Gazing Tour – Soak in the Stars

MCPNZ, Jul 2026

An epic night of stargazing!

The experience was epic! It was really well organised & well run with good communication on what was happening with the group through the whole session. What we could see through the telescopes was amazing! There were fantastic & knowledgable guides, they told us loads of interesting things about what we were seeing and answered all the questions. It wasn’t rushed and always moving to the next point, well timed. The time in the hot pools had enough time to change before and after and it was more interesting info and group questions throughout. Bennie was a fantastic group guide - personable, fun & super knowledgeable.

Best way to get to Milford Sound

Incredible way to get to Milford Sound. Flying over Queenstown, the mountains, lakes and into Milford Sound was stunning. Josh, our pilot, was so great at pointing out landmarks and providing facts to keep everyone entertained and informed along the way. The cruise was just as good with such beautiful scenery all around!

Darwin History and Wartime Experience Tour

sarahlS919ZX, Jul 2026

Very knowledgable tour guide

Great way of getting around Darwin and seeing sights related to its wartime history. Takes you to similar locations as the Big Bus does, but adds a little more depth and does go to some different spots as well. Great fun being in the truck, but would be even better if there was an app or similar that could pick up what was being said to amplify it with earphones for those who might struggle. The driver was incredibly knowledgable, reeling off their information without stopping. The crowd in the vehicle were separated from the driver, which does mean you cannot ask a question until you stop somewhere briefly. Overall, an exceptionally good tour that lasted over an hour, that I would happily do again.

Lake Taupō Māori Rock Carvings Scenic Cruise aboard Ernest Kemp

kathryn_elton, Jul 2026

Would recommend

Really informative guide. Welcoming team and more than enough space onboard. Really good value for money and a lovely way to spend the morning. We went as a family of 6 with an infant - just for ease, don’t take the buggy if you can leave behind but they will store away for you if not. The boat got up to the carvings really close a couple of times to allow everyone onboard the opportunity for photos.

Short trip on the lake, with friendly knowledgeable crew.

A good way to spend a couple of hours in Taupo. Lake front cruise, then over to the rock carvings. Great little boat, friendly staff, a bit of banter on the way. Family friendly, with opportunity for the kids to steer the boat back and get their 'Skipper's Licence'. Good value all round.
