East Coast Beachin

Roll out of bed, down that coffee and get ready to hit the waves – an included surf lesson awaits! Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, the camp instructors will give you some expert tips that’ll have you hanging ten in no time (insert shaka). After we’ve finished carving up the morning swell, we’ll stop for a photo op of big, yellow proportions in Coffs Harbour. Then: onwards to ultra-zen Byron Bay. Get your bearings on an included orientation tour before we set you free to explore. Here you can shop till you drop at cute boutique stores, sip matcha lattes with the locals, perfect your downward dog in a yoga class and party hard on an epic night out - all in the space of 24 hours! Oh - and the beaches are incred here, too.

Awww, yeah - you’ve got a free day in Byron Bay! Anti-McDonalds but pro fresh juice bars, sunny beer gardens and hipster beards, it’s no wonder Byron Bay is a traveller hotspot. Why not hit the beach and practise your new surfing skills? Alternatively, you could kayak with dolphins (seriously) or explore the array of funky vegetarian and vegan cafés in town. Want something a little more high-octane? How about freefalling at over 200km/hr from 15,000 feet on an optional skydive? Heck yes! Tonight, grab a perch at the Beach Hotel for some live music and awesome views.

Down one last chai latte in Byron Bay before we roll onto Australia's playground: the Gold Coast. New state alert! Known for its golden beaches, trendy restaurants and theme parks, Queensland’s GC has something for everyone. We’ll hit up glitzy Surfers Paradise and get a chance to see why the nightlife here is up there with the best in the country. Enjoy it while you can - tomorrow, we’re island-bound.

On our way to Fraser Island, we’ll swing by the state capital: Brisbane. We’ll cruise along the mighty Brisbane River and past prominent historic buildings and the pretty South Bank on an orientation tour before cracking on to our next destination. Have you turned your watch to island time? Breathe in the fresh air and relax - you’ve got two nights on rugged Fraser Island to look forward to. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the resident dingoes! Please note: As space is limited, we ask that you pack a small overnight bag to take with you to Fraser Island. Pack items like swimmers, a beach towel, chargers, a hat, sunscreen, a camera, a jacket, toiletries, sandals/flip flops and casual clothes for two days.

Rise and shine! We’ve got a full-day guided tour of this beautiful island on the agenda today. It’ll be love at first sight as you hit up gorgeous Lake McKenzie and 75 Mile Beach, visit the Maheno Shipwreck and coloured sands of the pinnacles, explore awe-inspiring rainforest and splash in the fresh waters of Eli Creek. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a yummy buffet lunch included, too. Prefer a view from above? There’s an optional scenic flight on offer if you’re keen. Tonight, we’ll share pics, crack open a cold one and watch the sunset. What. A. Day.

Wash the salt from your hair and wave goodbye to the coast this morning as we roll onto Myella Farm. Think: stunning landscapes, tonnes of wildlife and plenty of country hospitality. Pinch yourself - staying on a working cattle farm is as unique as it gets!

Embrace your inner jackaroo (or jillaroo) and prepare to get stuck into farm life! First up: we’ll learn how to crack a whip and milk a cow like a real station hand. Later, you can opt in to explore the farm on horseback, or simply kick back by the pool. This evening, we’ll dust off the red dirt and enjoy another delicious meal made with home-grown ingredients. Yum!

Stayed overnight on a yacht before? There’s a first time for everything! Get ready to indulge in a spot of stargazing as you sail the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. It’s a tough life! Please note: As space on the yacht is limited, we ask that you pack a small overnight bag to take with you. Pack items like swimmers, a beach towel, chargers, a hat, sunscreen, a camera, a jacket, toiletries, sandals/flip flops and casual clothes for two days. Twin/double/single upgrades are not available for overnight sailing in the Whitsunday Islands.

Sun. Sand. Sea. Does it get better than this? Shorten your bucket list with a visit to Whitehaven Beach and get ready to swim, sunbathe and snorkel the day away. Then: grab a last pic of paradise before we head back to Airlie Beach. The nightlife here is a traveller’s dream. It’d be rude not to get out there and enjoy it...

Down that coffee - we’re off on another island getaway! After making tracks to Townsville, we’ll hop on a short ferry ride to Magnetic Island (with plenty of pretty views en route). Relax and recharge, seek out hidden beaches and hikes, or snorkel the fringing reef. This place is a little slice of secluded paradise! Tonight, we’ll rest our heads in bungalows surrounded by eucalyptus trees. Bliss.

Before leaving, we’ve got a visit to a wildlife park lined up for you. Get ready for lizards, native birds and koalas! Once you’ve snapped your koala selfie we’ll make tracks to Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Get your bearings on an orientation tour, then tonight’s all yours. Take a stroll around the markets, get out and experience some of the East Coast’s best nightlife or hit up the local restaurants for some delicious local seafood. Yum!

You’ve got two days to play with in Cairns - and plenty of optional activities to choose from! Start off with an optional Great Barrier Reef trip for the chance to snorkel or scuba dive this incredible natural wonder. You might see turtles, reef sharks and Nemo! This place is special, trust us. Tonight, swap stories with your trip buddies over a group dinner. Quick! Grab one last group photo, we’ll be saying farewell tomorrow. *sad face* Please note: Pre-book your Great Barrier Reef day trip at the time of booking to secure your spot.

After breakfast, say bye to your trip mates and swap those digits. We know you’ll be back. Sticking around? Today there’s an optional bungy jump or a high octane jungle swing if you’re game. Or, if you’re after something a little more chill, why not spend the day exploring the Daintree Rainforest - it’s World Heritage listed for a reason. Phew! What a trip!
