Most of the Coast: Sydney to Cairns

Now's the time to explore Australia on your terms with this tour that's affordable for young travellers. Turn your "must-do" list into "been there, done all of that" on this 16-day tour up Australia’s East Coast. This classic Sydney-to-Cairns route introduces you to both sides of modern Australia — the bright lights of the big city and the raw beauty of the rugged coastline. You’ll get to try your hand at everything from surfing to snorkelling. And when you travel in small groups, you'll get to meet the locals and experience their land as they do. That amazing new frontier you’ve been looking for? Here it is. Expect multi-share stays throughout Australia, typically sharing rooms with 4-8 fellow travellers, split by gender, with shared bathroom and shower facilities that are rarely en-suite. Rooming requests aren't available. Accommodation varies by stop, and some locations may not provide towels or soap, so consider bringing your own.
