Prince William and Kate's Australia, New Zealand tour details revealed

Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, plan to go jet boating and sailing during an adventurous trip Down Under, according to a Kensington Palace announcement Monday.

The royal duo, accompanied by their 7-month-old son, Prince George, plan to spend three weeks in Australia and New Zealand next month, from April 7-25.

In New Zealand, which is known for its high-adrenaline tourist activities, the royal couple is planning to take a ride on a jet boat on the Shotover River in Queenstown and to try match racing on America's Cup sailboats. They'll also watch a rugby tournament as well as participating in the more traditional rounds of meetings, events and memorials.

In Australia, the couple plans to visit Uluru, the stunning Outback sandstone formation that's also known as Ayers Rock. They'll also visit the Sydney Opera House and the city's Taronga Zoo.

William has visited both countries several times (most recently traveling to New Zealand in 2011, shortly after the Christchurch earthquake), while this will be Kate's first visit to either.
