Aperçu

The whole classic route in one booking: a week in Melbourne, a week in Sydney, then a month up the East Coast to Cairns. Melbourne gives you the laneways and street art, an Aboriginal walking tour, Brighton to St Kilda on foot and Queen Victoria Market. An overnight coach takes you to Sydney for The Rocks, Bondi, Manly and a second crew of new mates.

Then the coast. A guide takes the group from Sydney to Byron Bay, local guides run the big days and a support team and trip app cover the rest: Surfers Paradise, Brisbane, Noosa, two nights in lakeside cabins inside the Noosa Everglades, three days on K'gari by 4WD with two nights camping, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island. The Whitsundays come twice, with a 60-minute Heart Reef scenic flight included and a Whitehaven Beach boat day, and the finale is a full day on the Great Barrier Reef.

43 nights booked, airport pick-up in Melbourne, Working Holiday help in both cities, and plenty of free days built in so six weeks never feels like a bus tour. For 18 to 39 year olds; most come solo.

Ton itinéraire, jour après jour
1 Jour 1 · Bienvenue à Melbourne

Your Melbourne Airport pick-up is included on any day before the tour. Tonight you meet your guide and your group over dinner on the Yarra River, then riverside drinks as the city lights come on.

Hébergement
City-centre hostel dorm
Repas inclus
Dîner
2 Day 2 · Street art, Aboriginal Melbourne and Chinatown

The morning takes you through the laneways to Hosier Lane, where the street art changes overnight. Then an Aboriginal walking tour tells the story of the Wurundjeri people and Naarm, Melbourne's traditional name, long before the skyline. The afternoon is yours for ACMI or the NGV, the biggest gallery in the Southern Hemisphere, and the day ends with dinner in Chinatown, one of the oldest in the world.

Repas inclus
Dîner
3 Day 3 · Your day: Great Ocean Road or Melbourne your way

Add a guided Great Ocean Road day trip for the cliffs, the rainforest and the Twelve Apostles (an optional extra), or use your guide's list to explore the city on your own terms. On a Working Holiday visa? Pick up the free starter pack and book a one-on-one with the team on jobs and getting set up.

4 Day 4 · Brighton bathing boxes to St Kilda

Melbourne has a beach side, and today proves it. Start at Brighton's rows of painted bathing boxes, walk the coast to St Kilda with a stop at Point Ormond for the best skyline view in the city, then take free time in St Kilda before drinks as the sun drops over the bay.

Repas inclus
Déjeuner
5 Day 5 · Queen Victoria Market and the city from above

Morning at Queen Victoria Market, one of the biggest open-air markets in the Southern Hemisphere: coffee, produce and the souvenir stalls. Then up the city's observation deck for the 360-degree view, a free afternoon for the State Library or the museums, and a last group dinner in the CBD.

Repas inclus
Dîner
6 Days 6 to 7 · Free days in Melbourne

Op shops, laneways and as many cafés as you can rate in two days. On the second evening you board the overnight coach to Sydney and wake up in the next city.

Hébergement
City-centre hostel dorm, then overnight coach to Sydney
8 Jour 8 · Bienvenue à Sydney

Your airport pick-up is included on any day before the tour, so land early if you like. Tonight you meet your guide and your group over a welcome dinner, then head up for rooftop drinks with the city lit up below.

Hébergement
Central Sydney hostel dorm
Repas inclus
Dîner
8 Jour 8 · Bienvenue à Sydney

The overnight coach drops you into Sydney for chapter two. Tonight the Sydney group meets over a welcome dinner, then rooftop drinks above the skyline.

Hébergement
Central Sydney hostel dorm
Repas inclus
Dîner
10 Day 10 · Your day: Blue Mountains or Sydney your way

Add a guided day trip to the Blue Mountains, 90 minutes away, for the cliffs, rainforest and the Three Sisters (an optional extra), or take your guide's list of places beyond the itinerary and explore Sydney with or without the group. On a Working Holiday visa? This is the day for the free starter pack and a one-on-one with the team on jobs and getting set up in Australia.

11 Day 11 · Coogee to Bondi on foot

One of the great coastal walks: six beaches, cliff-top views and the Pacific all the way. The group starts at Coogee, walks the trail to Bondi with a sweet stop at Bondi's cult dessert bar on the way, and finishes at Dudley Page Reserve, which has the best view back over the city, before dinner.

Repas inclus
Dinner, Bondi dessert stop
12 Day 12 · Ferry to Manly

Thirty minutes on the Manly ferry with the Opera House sliding past and the Harbour Bridge behind you: the best-value harbour cruise in Sydney, and it's included. In Manly the first stop is a much-loved bakery, then you walk out to Shelly Beach, find the Manly Wormhole and finish with your feet in the sand.

Repas inclus
Dinner, Manly bakery stop
13 Days 13 to 14 · Free days in Sydney

Two free days before the coast: revisit a favourite, explore somewhere new, or rest up for the month ahead.

Hébergement
Central Sydney hostel dorm
15 Day 15 · Sydney: the East Coast starts here

Meet the crew you'll spend the next month with. The day opens with an overview session that runs through every stop, every inclusion and every question you came with, then there's a surprise group activity in Sydney (they keep it secret, and it's better that way) and a welcome dinner together. That night you board the overnight coach north and wake up in Byron Bay.

Hébergement
Overnight coach
Repas inclus
Dîner
16 Days 16 to 18 · Byron Bay: river kayak, lighthouse, rooftop nights

Your guide walks you round town on arrival, then it's a group dinner to mark night one. Next morning you're on the water for a guided river kayak, and in the afternoon you climb to Cape Byron Lighthouse, the most easterly point of mainland Australia, for one of the best views on the coast. Your hostel is 100 metres from the beach and has a rooftop bar, so the gaps between activities sort themselves: a surf, a swim, a sleep on the sand. The last night is a team night out. Your guide hands over here, and from Byron the group travels on with the app, the local guides at each stop and the support team on call.

Hébergement
Beachside hostel with rooftop bar
Repas inclus
2 dinners
19 Days 19 to 20 · Surfers Paradise and an Aboriginal-guided Burleigh walk

An Aboriginal guide takes the group around the Burleigh Heads headland and tells the story of the land and its people from the inside. Then it's the Gold Coast at full volume: beach days, theme and water parks if you want them, and the famous Surfers nightlife after dark.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
Repas inclus
2 dinners
21 Days 21 to 23 · Brisbane: recharge or go big

Three days in Queensland's capital and you choose the pace. Rest up, ride the city ferries (the best views in town for the price of a ticket) and swim at the free South Bank lagoon by the river. Or go big with the two favourite add-ons: Moreton Island for sandboarding, kayaking around shipwrecks and snorkelling, and a day at Australia Zoo with the kangaroos.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
24 Days 24 to 26 · Noosa: Fairy Pools, national park and a round boat

Noosa National Park starts 500 metres from town, and the Fairy Pools you've seen all over Instagram are inside it. The group also gets an afternoon on the Noosa River in a round boat (bring your own snacks and drinks; it's that kind of trip), and the app tells you exactly where to be at sunset. The hostel here is the one people don't want to leave, with enough going on that some days you won't.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
27 Days 27 to 28 · Two nights inside the Everglades with the kangaroos

No hostel tonight. You sleep inside the Noosa Everglades national park in lakeside cabins and safari tents, and the kangaroos come out around you every evening. Grab a kayak or paddleboard and get on the lake, or sit by the water at the onsite bar. Day two goes deeper: a boat cruise, then a short, easy canoe on the River of Mirrors, the stretch so still the sky shows up twice. All gear supplied.

Hébergement
Lakeside cabins and safari tents in a wildlife retreat
29 Days 29 to 34 · Rainbow Beach and three days on K'gari

K'gari means paradise, and it's the largest sand island in the world. You spend three days crossing it by 4WD: swimming in freshwater lakes, floating down lazy creeks, stopping at shipwrecks and driving the beach highway with your mates in the car. Over 21 with a full licence? You get a turn behind the wheel. Two nights you camp on the island with tents and sleeping bags provided, and the stars around the campfire are the best you'll see in Australia. Either side of the island you're at Rainbow Beach, with sunset from the Carlo Sandblow, before the long run north to Airlie Beach.

Hébergement
Hostel at Rainbow Beach, 2 nights camping on K'gari (all gear provided) and an overnight coach north
Repas inclus
2 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners
35 Days 35 to 37 · Airlie Beach: Heart Reef from the air, Whitehaven by boat

You see the Whitsundays twice. First from the sky: a 60-minute scenic flight over Heart Reef and the outer islands, included, not an add-on. Then from the water: a fast-boat day to Whitehaven Beach with snorkelling in the clear water around the islands. In between, Airlie does the rest, with its swimming lagoon, laneway bars and waterfront places to eat.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
Repas inclus
Lunch on the Whitsundays day
38 Days 38 to 40 · Magnetic Island: koalas, the Forts Walk and island time

Ferry across to Maggie, the island everyone forgets to plan and then doesn't want to leave. If you haven't seen a wild koala yet, you will here, along with wallabies you can hand-feed. Walk the Forts Walk, hire snorkels, or split a tiny open-top hire car round the bays (the team sorts the bookings). It's the deliberate slow-down before the finale.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
41 Days 41 to 44 · Cairns: the Great Barrier Reef and a farewell feast

Nearly 3,000 kilometres from Sydney, the trip ends where it should. You spend a full day out on the Great Barrier Reef snorkelling the coral with reef fish and, if you're lucky, a turtle; scuba is there to add if you want it. Then the whole crew sits down for a farewell dinner. Cairns is the adventure capital of the coast, so if you can stay on, the add-ons are right here: white-water rafting, bungy, skydiving, the Daintree and Fitzroy Island. The tour ends on the final day, and you can leave at any time.

Hébergement
Hostel dorm (6 to 8 beds, shared with your group)
Repas inclus
Reef day lunch, farewell dinner

Questions fréquentes sur ce voyage

  • How do I get from Melbourne to Sydney?

    By overnight coach at the end of your Melbourne week, included. You wake up in Sydney ready for the second week.
  • What does semi-guided mean?

    A guide runs the first leg from Sydney to Byron Bay, so the group gels and everyone knows how the trip works. From Byron the same group travels together with every bed, transfer and included activity booked, local guides on the big days (K'gari, the Whitsundays, the reef), a trip app with the itinerary and a support team on call. You get more free time than a fully guided tour without organising anything.
  • Who goes on this tour?

    It's for 18 to 39 year olds, the average age sits in the mid-twenties, and around 80% of travellers come solo. Groups are up to 24, or up to 30 in peak summer, and you share 6 to 8 bed dorms with people from your own group.
  • Is the Heart Reef scenic flight really included?

    Yes. The 60-minute flight over Heart Reef and the Whitsundays is part of the tour, and so is the Whitehaven Beach boat day. Many East Coast tours only include the flight on their longest trips or sell it as an extra.
  • Can I drive on K'gari?

    If you're 21 or over and hold a valid full driver's licence, yes, you can take a turn driving the 4WD on the beach. Under 21 you ride along.
  • How much spending money do I need?

    Allow roughly 159 € to 229 € a week for food and drinks beyond the included meals, plus whatever add-ons you choose. A skydive and a dive or two add 639 € or more; a surf lesson, Moreton Island and Australia Zoo together come to around 319 €.
  • Is the food vegan-friendly?

    Yes. The included meals cater for vegetarians and vegans, with gluten-free options. Tell us your dietary needs when you book and we pass them on.
