ANZAC Day Dawn Service Gallipoli

Join fellow New Zealanders on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Gallipoli, where the story of our nation’s courage was written in the sands of history on 25 April 1915. This journey is more than just a visit—it’s a tribute to the resilience and bravery of the ANZACs. The tranquil moments before dawn provide a solemn space to reflect on their sacrifices and the enduring legacy they left behind.

As the bugle sounds the “Last Post,” you’ll feel a powerful connection to those who stood here over a century ago. Participate in the poignant ceremonies, where dignitaries pay tribute, and the national anthems are sung with pride. The laying of wreaths by surviving veterans is a touching reminder of the bonds that continue to unite us across generations.

Our knowledgeable guides will share insights into both the Turkish and ANZAC experiences, deepening your appreciation of this historic event.
