Be guided through Anzac Cove to the battlefields, the Nek and Lone Pine and share the stories of heroism and camaraderie that unfolded among the tragedies of this defining moment in Australian and New Zealand history.

- Embark on a moving and educational experience that sheds light on your nation’s history – regardless of your age or background, if you’re from Australia or New Zealand (or even the Republic of Turkey), this adventure has a deep connection to your country’s past.
- Listen to stories of bravery and comradeship – with visits to multiple historical sites with local guides, you’ll learn about the history of those who fought for their country.
- Go on a quintessential Antipodean pilgrimage to reflect and pay your respects to those in WW1.
- Take a fully guided tour of the Battle Fields of the Gallipoli Peninsula. Visit ANZAC Cove with a local guide and see the ANZAC Commemorative Site.
- Visit the Nek and the Lone Pine Australian Memorial and maybe visit the war graves to seek out those from your town.
- On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Intrepid partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.
- Being an independent traveller, you will have to carry your own bag on and off the bus or ferry, and into the hotel.

This trip is operated by one of our local partners in Turkey and therefore you may be joined by a mixture of Intrepid-booked passengers and other travelers during activities.
