Package itinerary

Days 1-5 Sydney

Welcome to Sydney, the amazing starting point for most adventures in Oz. Immerse yourself in the dynamic cityscape, gazing at the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Head out to the world famous Bondi Beach and then party the night away before starting the journey of a lifetime...

Days 5-10 Sydney/Byron Bay

Jump on the overnight bus from Sydney and recharge your batteries because when you arrive in Byron Bay you’re going to want to take in everything this uber cool hippie surf town has to offer. Kayak with the dolphins in the bay and learn to surf with the locals, you’ll feel like you’re part of Australian culture in no time!

Days 10-13 Surfers Paradise

Known as the ‘Miami’ of Australia, Surfers Paradise/Gold Coast is famous for its crashing surf, never ending beaches and banging nightlife!

Days 13-16 Brisbane

Take some time to relax or party (so many choices!) in Australia’s third largest city and the capital of Queensland. Definitely take the time to enjoy all the delicious specialities of Eat Street (at least once)!

Days 16-22 Noosa and Fraser Island

Noosa is our base for heading to the amazing Fraser Island but has a lot to offer in itself. Head out to the everglades or national parks or just chill on the pristine beaches.

Days 16-22 Noosa and Fraser Island

Now for your first real taste of the Australian wilderness! Fraser Island is a lot of people’s favourite place in Australia and for good reason. Lake McKenzie really is one of those places that will take your breath away and Lake Wabby, Eli Creek and Champagne Pools are all places you’ll never forget.

Days 23-29 Airlie Beach and The Whitsundays

Prepare for the stunning Whitsundays in Airlie Beach, chill out and catch some rays at the man made lagoon and get your sea legs ready for the next couple of days. You’ll also head back here for your Whitsundays after party.

Days 23-29 Airlie Beach and The Whitsundays

Sailing around The Whitsundays is a truly spectacular experience. Of the 74 islands only 8 are inhabited so the beauty has remained so untouched, it really is a different world. The snorkelling and marine life are amazing and you can chill or party in the evening and even sleep out on the deck of the boat underneath the stars!

Days 29-32 Magnetic Island

Officially the sunniest place in Australia with an average of 320 days of sun per year! It also has the highest concentration of wild Koala’s in Australia, head to one of the simple walking tracks and find some for yourself. You can also snorkel right off the beach - what a place!

Days 32-37 Cairns, Great Barrier Reef and Rainforest

The final stop on your trip takes you to the home of The Great Barrier Reef and a final party town. Rainforest and Reef meet here and Cairns giant lagoon is the perfect place to reflect on your trip with all your new friends. Cool off on a tour around the waterfall circuit one day, visit the world’s oldest tropical rainforest the next. Not forgetting your cruise out to The Great Barrier Reef! Snorkel with Nemo, reef sharks, turtles and much more in this tropical paradise.
