In the tropics, lightweight casual clothing is suitable all year round. In the southern regions, layers are the best solution for warm days and cooler evenings. Warmer clothing is recommended for visiting the southern states between May and September.

Don’t forget to pack the essential swimming costume, hat, sunglasses, high protection factor sunscreen, a shawl, cardigan or jumper and of course your camera!

Please note, that there may be luggage restrictions on some regional flights. Visitors are advised to bring a small bag to be able to transport some of their luggage for this part of their journey. Storage facilities are usually available for the excess luggage at departing airports.

No matter where you are going in the world, you should pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals.

Year-round. With such a diverse range of activities and seasonal events, there is always a good time to visit.

At Southern Crossings, true luxury is defined not only by extraordinary comfort and exclusive access, but by the positive legacy left behind. Across Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, Southern Crossings curates journeys that honor the land, celebrate First Nations cultures, and actively restore the natural world. Our ethos centers on regenerative tourism—ensuring every itinerary leaves our regions richer, healthier, and more vibrant than before.

Core Sustainability Practices

1. Regenerative Partnerships – Collaboration with pioneering eco-luxury properties that prioritize ecosystem restoration and carbon-positive practices:

• • Lake Hāwea Station (NZ): A benchmark for carbon-positive farming and native habitat preservation.
  • TAHI (NZ): A dedicated sanctuary focused on wetland restoration and eco-recovery.
  • The Landing (Bay of Islands): Combines heritage with extensive native tree planting and sustainable land management.

2. Wildlife Conservation & Marine Protection – Partnership with frontline conservation organizations and integrates hands-on preservation into custom itineraries:

• • Australian Wildlife Conservancy: Proud supporters of large-scale sanctuary management and endangered species protection across Australia.
  • Hands-on Stewardship: Guest participation opportunities, including coral reef planting projects in Fiji.

3. Reforestation & Native Flora – Restoration of native flora habitats and carbon capturing. Through non-profit partners like Trees That Count, Southern Crossings funds native tree-planting projects across New Zealand, including targeted recovery efforts for rare species like the kakabeak (ngutu kākā) on the East Cape.
4. First Nations Respect & Engagement – Formally acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and honor Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Māori heritage. Prioritize authentic, First Nations-led experiences, ensuring economic benefits directly reach indigenous community guides, artists, and storytellers.
5. Slow Travel Philosophy – Design of itineraries that encourage meaningful exploration while reducing environmental strain:

• • Explore Deeper: Longer stays in fewer regions to reduce transit emissions and deepen cultural immersion.
  • Local & Seasonal Dining: Farm-to-table culinary experiences supporting regional growers, artisan producers, and sustainable fisheries.
  • Off-Peak Journeys: Traveling outside peak seasons to relieve pressure on popular destinations and provide year-round economic support.

When you travel with Southern Crossings, your journey becomes a force for good—preserving iconic landscapes, empowering local communities, and safeguarding wildlife for generations to come.
