Intrepid Travel, the world’s leading sustainable tour operator, has announced the return of their ANZAC Day Dawn Service Tour for 2023. Designed to honour and pay respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Gallipoli, this tour will offer a moving and educational experience.
With one tour capped at 44 people, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for travellers in Australia and New Zealand. Travellers will start their trip in Istanbul, Turkey before their six hour journey to the Gallipoli Peninsula.
Managing Director ANZ at Intrepid Travel, Brett Mitchell said, “After two long years of uncertainty, we are pleased to announce the return of our ANZAC Day Dawn Service Tour for 2023. With the COVID-19 pandemic bringing the tour to a halt for the last 3 years, 2023 will see the opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders to visit the country that holds so much meaning on this very special day.”
The tour is a sombre affair with a night spent under the stars and participation in the moving Gallipoli Dawn Service. For any Australian or New Zealander visiting the Shores of Turkey, a visit to the battlefields of the Gallipoli Peninsula is a must.
Sample highlights from the tour include:
-
Travelling to the solemn battlefields on the anniversary of the landing and wandering through Anzac Cove to the Nek and Lone Pine.
-
Walking through the trenches, attending a moving dawn service and hearing the stories of heroism and camaraderie immortalised in Australia’s Anzac history.
