Von Neuseeland nach Singapur Grand Voyage

The only city in the world built on an active basaltic volcanic field, Auckland is located on the North Island of New Zealand. With a warm, costal climate, you can surf at black-sand beaches, enjoy picnics in secluded coves, or go horseback riding nearly year round.

Dominating the CBD—that’s the central business district, or simply downtown—is the Sky Tower. At 1,076 feet tall it’s the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Take a trip to the top and enjoy a meal and a panoramic view of the city below, including the busy harbor that lends Auckland the nickname “The City of Sails”.

Situated in the heart of the sunniest region of the North Island, Tauranga is a popular seaside getaway for locals and visitors alike. Initially settled by the Māori in the 13th century, the Bay of Plenty area has an abundance of things to see and do.

Located on the east coast of the North Island, Napier is a popular tourist town, and together with inland Hastings, are known as “the Bay Cities of New Zealand”. After Napier was destroyed by a devastating earthquake in 1931, the city rebuilt in spectacular Art Deco style that Mr. Gatsby himself would approve of. Take a stroll through the streets and you’d swear you can hear the clink of glasses and the faint notes of jazz music in the air.

Often referred to as “the coolest little capital in the world”, Wellington sits on the southwestern tip of New Zealand’s North Island. For such a small city, Wellington—or Windy Welly as it’s affectionately known—packs a huge reputation. With its fantastic nightlife and renowned entertainment district of Courtenay Place as well as an internationally recognized coffee culture, the city is both cosmopolitan and relaxed.

Nestled on the shores of Tasman Bay at the top of the South Island of New Zealand, Nelson is also known as the top of the south. It is also the geographical center of New Zealand, marked by a landmark on a hilltop near the center of the city. Climb up to point zero and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the area—two massive bays surrounded by hills and mountains. An area of extraordinary beauty, the Nelson Tasman region is home to several film locations from the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

A seaside town situated close to the head of Queen Charlotte Sound on the South Island, Picton is a great jumping off point for exploring the Marlborough Sounds. Like most of New Zealand, this area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Choose your own adventure and go fishing, swimming, bird watching, or visit the playful fur seal pups at their colony near the waterfall at Ohau Point. Bring your walking shoes and walk to the Snout—located between Picton and Waikawa Bay, this peninsula is still wild and untamed. There are tracks and trails for all abilities, from a few minutes-long stroll, so a full-scale hiking adventure.

“Ōtautahi.” “The Garden City.” “The Most English City Outside England.” Christchurch may go by many names, but one thing is for certain: There’s so much to see and do in this lovely, energetic city, you’re going to have to plan strategically.

First, how would you like to explore Christchurch? You can go punting through the city center on the Avon River. Hop on a tram, double-decker bus, or a bike to take advantage of the excellent cycleways and paths. Or head to the Christchurch Gondola for spectacular 360° views of the city, Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps, and Banks Peninsula.

Located on New Zealand’s South Island, Dunedin is sure to be a pleasant chapter in your voyage. Known both as a City of Literature, and the Edinburgh of the South, it’s no surprise that there’s a statue of Robbie Burns in the heart of town. Though a Scottish influence can be felt throughout town, Dunedin is still distinctly Kiwi.

If you’re chasing paradise along the shores of the Sapphire Coast, you’ll find it in Eden. Set on the breathtaking Twofold Bay, Eden’s laid-back atmosphere, charming locals, and stunning natural surroundings make it a destination you’ll never want to leave.

Start by making your way to the Eden Lookout, where the best views of Twofold Bay are found. In the distance, marvel at the vast hinterland, as well as Boyd’s Tower—an elaborate structure crafted from sandstone that was once used as a lookout for whale spotting.

Head Down Under to the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, the one and only Sydney. With a sunny attitude and a climate to match, Sydney is a vibrant place that combines the best of the beach, with the convenience of the city.

Mooloolaba Beach is one of the most famous and popular beaches on Australia’s east coast, so no visit would be complete without a trip to bury your toes in the powdery-white sand. Take to the water in a cruise on the canals, snorkeling in the sea, or diving with sharks. Head inland to swim in one of the secluded waterfalls in the area, and take in the tranquility that surrounds you.

Dieser sonnige Hafen an der Nordostküste Australiens befindet sich in einem ständigen Urlaubszustand. Kein Wunder, liegt doch das Great Barrier Reef direkt vor der Haustür.

Es gibt ausgezeichnete Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants sowie ein reges Nachtleben und eine lange Liste an möglichen Outdoor-Aktivitäten, die vom Sonnenbaden bis zu einem Flug mit einem Wasserflugzeug reichen.

As the capital of Australia’s vast and sparsely populated Northern Territory, Darwin has grown from a gateway to South East Asia to one of the country’s most modern and tropical cities. With folks from more than 50 countries calling this pleasant burg home, Darin has a multiculturalism unmatched by many other places.

A trip to Darwin is a walk in the park—literally. George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens, Knuckey Lagoons Conservation Reserve, Charles Darwin National Park, Bicentennial Park, and Jingili Water Gardens are just a few of the parks found within city limits. Plus, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park—an incredible combination of lush rainforests, wetlands, wildlife, and a treasure trove of Aboriginal rock art—is just a short jaunt away.

Bali ist zauberhaft – eine üppige, fruchtbare Insel, auf der Reisterrassen jeden verfügbaren Quadratmeter mit dem fantastischen Grün der jungen Sprossen überzieht und wo vulkanische Gipfel gefunden werden können, auf denen der Sage nach die Götter wohnen. Dies ist ein zutiefst spiritueller Ort, wo kunstvolle Blumendarbietungen und Gerüche stets präsent sind und an jedem beliebigen Tag findet an irgendeinem Tempel auf der Insel ein buntes Fest statt. Jedes der Dörfer, die allesamt reich an Kultur sind, hat seine eigene künstlerische Spezialität – Musik, Tanz, Malerei und Skulpturen. Die Strände sind reizvoll, aber wenn Sie das echte Bali sehen möchten, sollten Sie sich in Richtung Berge begeben – die Balinesen bewohnen dieses Mittelgebiet und auch Dämonen leben in dieser Gegend.

Dieser kommerzielle Hafen, der geschäftig die wichtigsten Exportprodukte des Landes verschifft (wie zum Beispiel die Bohnen für ihre nächste Tasse Java Kaffee), ist Ihr Tor zu zwei fantastischen religiösen Stätten. Borobudur ist das größte Buddhistenmonument der Welt – ein 3D Mandala (ein Diagramm des Universums und vielleicht ein gigantisches Buch, dass den Sterblichen dabei hilft, die Erleuchtung zu finden). Prambanan ist ein Komplex bestehend aus luftigen, scharfkantigen Türmen, die das Dreigestirn des Hinduismus ehren: Brahma, den Schöpfer, Vishnu, den Erhalter, und Shiva, den Zerstörer. Beide Religionen wurden von indischen Reisenden in den frühen Jahrhunderten nach Christus hier her gebracht.

On fiery-peaked Java, the megacity of Jakarta is booming. The traffic and vastness seem daunting at first, but this is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines – seeking them out is part of its allure. The old town of Batavia will transport you to Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past. Hop on one of the bikes for rent and buzz in and out of the tiny side streets where performers and artists mingle.
