ANZAC to Istanbul — Healing Journeys That Honour the Past

For many Kiwis and Aussies, visiting Gallipoli is more than a holiday. It's a pilgrimage. Whether you have whakapapa or ancestry connected to the ANZACs, or you're simply drawn to the historical and emotional significance of that land, Gallipoli calls us to remember.

Oceanscape Group creates travel experiences that honour that connection. We organise ANZAC-focused itineraries that are sensitive, supportive, and deeply respectful of what it means to walk on those shores.

Why It’s More Than a Trip:

• It connects you with your past, your whānau, your roots

• It allows time and space for reflection, healing, and remembrance

• It offers a cultural bridge between New Zealand, Australia, and Türkiye

What Our ANZAC Itineraries Include:

• Visits to key sites in Gallipoli, including Chunuk Bair and Lone Pine

• Cultural immersion experiences with local Turkish hosts

• Support for emotional and spiritual wellbeing during the journey

• Optional extensions to Istanbul or Şanlıurfa for continued exploration

We believe that healing isn't just physical. For some, the journey to Gallipoli offers a spiritual and emotional reset — a moment of peace in a complex world. And we’re honoured to support that.
