East Coast Escape

G'day mate! Take a day trip to the Blue Mountains where we'll explore the beautiful landscapes, learn about the legend behind the Three Sisters, and discover Jamison Ridge. Head back to Sydney this evening, ready for a night out in the city's backpacker pubs.

We're exploring the city's best bits today with a guided tour. Check out the iconic Opera House, take the ferry to Watson's Bay, and spend the afternoon on beautiful Bondi. How about an optional climb of the Harbour Bridge too?

Sydney's your oyster with a full free day. Grab some lunch in Darling Harbour, stroll through the Botanical Gardens, pick up some souvenirs at the Rocks Market, take a thrilling jet-boat ride round the harbour, or explore the city by bike. Then go out out tonight!

See ya Sydney, you've been great! Hop on a plane to boho Byron today and head straight to the beach where we'll make like the locals with an included surf lesson! Spend the rest of the afternoon living the beach life and practicing your new-found skills on the board.

Kick-start your morning with an optional sunrise trip to Byron Bay Lighthouse. Then spend the rest of the day enjoying Byron's laid-back vibe at your own pace. Take a guided kayak adventure, go whale watching, or just kick back on the beach. And relaxxxxx.

Get your Zen on before we leave Byron behind, with an optional morning yoga session. Our next destination is a watery wonderland where we'll be staying in a special lakeside eco-lodge. Chill with the gang over dinner tonight in the bistro.

Wake up with the dawn chorus before an unforgettable day on K'Gari. Cruise along the world's longest sand highway, take a dip in the sparkling waters of Lake Mackenzie, and enjoy a delish lunch before heading back to the eco camp for a last night.

Round off your time in the Glades with an awesome optional canoe experience before hopping on a plane for the short flight to Airlie Beach. Grab a bite to eat this evening and party the night away in one of the backpacker bars.

A cluster of jewel-like islands with turquoise waters and blinding white sands, the Whitsundays is paradise found.  Snorkel over rainbow coloured reefs, take a castaway moment on Whitehaven Beach, and enjoy a yummy lunch and dinner on board the yacht.

More opportunity to swim, snorkel and soak up the sun as we cruise around the Whitsunday Islands on our yacht today. 

Hop on the train to Townsville today before taking the ferry to magical Magnetic Island. Explore the island on foot looking for wild koalas, relax on the beach and climb up Hawking's Point ready for sundown. Just amazing.

Start your day with a chef-cooked breakfast at Bungalow Bay Koala Village, where you'll meet some of the adorbs marsupials. Then strap on your walking boots for the Magnetic Island Fort trail. Later on, get to know the island's resident rock wallabies - cuuute!

Thanks Magnetic Island, you're the best! We're headed back to the mainland on the ferry this morning and then jumping on a train to Cairns. This evening we've got a chef-led bush food tutorial and dinner (no witchetty grubs though, we promise!) on the menu.

We've got an amazing day lined up for you as we head into the oldest tropical rainforest in the world, Daintree. Explore your surroundings with an indigenous guide, meet the local Kuku Yalanji people, and create your own Aussie masterpiece in an art class led by Aboriginal artists.

It's your last day in Cairns so we'll leave it to you to decide how you want to spend it. We'd recommend diving on the outer Barrier Reef or taking a luxury catamaran snorkelling trip. Get together with your buddies over a few beers tonight and celebrate your amazing Aussie adventure.

All good things come to an end so it's time to pack our bags and continue your travels. If you fancy a last blast of Cairns adventure, how about a bungy jump and jungle swing combo, one last skydive, or white-water rafting on the Barron River? Planning the next trip already?
