The trip

ANZAC Day Dawn Service.

Learn about the legend and legacy of the ANZACs at the Dawn Service in Gallipoli

On April 25th, 1915, Allied troops landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The military campaign that followed was disastrous for the Allies yet came to define the national psyches of Australia and New Zealand.

Travel to these solemn battlefields on the anniversary of the landing and wander through Anzac Cove to the Nek and Lone Pine. Walk through the trenches, attend a moving dawn service and hear the stories of heroism and camaraderie immortalised in Australia's Anzac history.

This journey provides a great opportunity to pay respect to the fallen of World War I and to reflect on what they fought for.

5 Star Review Nicole Traveled April 2026 An unforgettable, deeply moving journey to Gallipoli for Anzac Day with my 18-year-old son. Standing where his great-great grandfather fell was profoundly emotional. Our guide, Ali, was exceptional, knowledgeable, warm, and respectful. Intrepid created an exceptional experience that we will treasure forever. Truly one of the most wonderful trips of our lives.

This is the one you talk about.
