The journey

New Year's Day falls on a Friday, so the long weekend runs from 1 to 3 January. Two nights by the lake, home in time for the school term.

A softer New Year than the coast offers: a lakeside lodge, a walk on Crescent Island, and a morning on the water. It is the easiest product we offer, and the best introduction to travelling with Vuvo Horizons.

The departure returns on Sunday 3 January, ahead of Term 1 on Monday 4 January.

Highlights

  • Crescent Island walk among giraffe, zebra and antelope
