Best Countries
Oceania comprises many countries, providing outstanding travel opportunities. From working in the Australian outback to helping to conserve marine reefs in Fiji, the possibilities are endless!
Australia. If you want to experience local life, work and travel programs are the way to go in Australia. Australia offers Working Holiday Visas that allow young people to travel and work in the country for one year. Here you will find a blend of spectacular beauty, thriving cultural life, and opportunities to engage in a variety of gap year experiences.
New Zealand. If adventures and nature are your cuppa, there is no better location than New Zealand for gap year programs in Australia and Oceania. From hiking to skiing, snowboarding to climbing, New Zealand is a paradise for adventure-seekers. Many gappers also choose to work in the tourist or hospitality industries—when they’re not flinging themselves off cliffs, that is.
Fiji. Who hasn’t dreamt of finding a new life on a remote island in the Pacific? Imagine a country with not one, but 300+ islands of white sand surrounded by sapphire waters...that’s Fiji. The capital of this remote archipelago is Suva, where you will enjoy its colonial architecture, tropical climate, and marriage of cultures.
