FLEXIBLE ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as road conditions, weather, local restrictions and group input may vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the help of your tour leader and fellow trekkers you may modify certain nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

  • Days: 1-2 Sydney, Coffs Harbour & Byron Bay

Say a fond farewell to Sydney as we set out on our camping adventure. Leaving via the harbour bridge, we travel the coast road through Taree. We can stop en-route at a koala breeding park and sanctuary before heading onto our first night's accommodation in a backpacker hostel in Coffs Harbour. Travel up the coast to Byron Bay and walk out to Australia's most easterly point. Look out for dolphins playing in the surf. We continue to vibrant Surfers Paradise, as the stresses and strains of everyday life disappear.
Accommodation:
Coffs Harbour: Budget lodging included
Byron Bay: Camping included



  • Days: 3-5 Wynnum, Moreton Island & Redcliff

Picking up our 4WD vehicle we take a barge out to Moreton Island for 2 days, where the world's highest sand dunes await you. With miles of deserted white beaches and inland forests dotted with crystal clear lakes, this is the highlight of the trip for many. We'll hike some of the trails, visit the Tangalooma Wrecks and maybe view dolphins, fish or pods of whales in season. You can also explore the shipwrecks and swim in the Blue Lagoon - a naturally formed "perched lake." As good as Fraser Island without the crowds.
Accommodation:
Wynnum & Redcliff: Camping included
Moreton Island: Budget lodging included



  • Days: 6-8 Tannum Sands & Airlie Beach

Enjoy the coast before crossing the Tropic of Capricorn at Rockhampton and entering the tropical zone. Arriving in Airlie Beach we have come to the gateway of our expedition to the Whitsunday Island Group, some of the most picturesque sailing in the world. With suntan lotion and swimming costume in hand it's time to embark on an island cruise. The choice is yours between spending a day on a fast Maxi sailing yacht or catching a launch to discover the underwater observatory and several of the island resorts. There is time for a jet ski or just lie around the pool. In the evening you can check out a live band & the local nightlife.
Accommodation: Camping included



  • Days: 9-10 Mission Beach

Heading further north along the coast we spend two nights relaxing at Mission Beach. For those with a strong sense of adventure there is adrenaline pumping white water rafting or sea kayaking. Alternatively take the daily boat service out to Dunk Island and try the unsurpassed rainforest hikes or even muster the courage to go tandem sky-diving. For a more leisurely day simply lounge on Mission Beach and work on your suntan. The choice is yours.
Accommodation:Camping included



  • Days: 11-12 Cairns & Great Barrier Reef

We make our way to Cairns for our included full-day sailing cruise to the Outer Barrier Reef. Try scuba diving, (no experience needed), hand feed the fish or snorkel among the vibrant coral in the warm tropical waters. A day you will remember for the rest of your life. Your journey ends at our gateway hotel.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

Tour ends at approx 17:00 - 18:00 hrs in Cairns on day 12.
