Australia East Coast Tours & Trips
Could you handle Australia's east coast, though? We're talking Bondi surf lessons, sailing through the Whitsundays with that insane water color, exploring Fraser Island's sand dunes in a 4x4, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef before it's too late, wine tasting in Hunter Valley, and learning about First Nations culture in Gumbaynggirr. Sydney to Cairns properly done.

Hotel was too far from the sights seeing and we wished that hotel was in city center to explore more. We paid lots of money for Uber

Sydney to Brisbane Adventure (14 destinations)The trip from Sydney to Cairns was a fantastic experience, visiting beautiful places along the East Coast. It included fun activities, cultural experiences, local insights, but also personal freedom with optional activities and free time. After this trip you take a bit of everything from the East Coast of Australia, the best memories and many friends. Lauren was an amazing CEO. She was very enthusiastic, made sure we had the best time and best experience at very place. Her engagement was above and beyond. She not only gave tips for things to do on the trip, but also general tips for Australia and also tips for people who only did part of the trip and then traveled on their own. You could really tell that she loves the job and loves to show and share the beautiful things in Australia with us.
