Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 12 Day Solo-ish Australia. Australia hardly needs an introduction, but this 12-day Solo-ish Adventure takes the classic Aussie solo trip and cranks it up to 11. Begin in vibrant Melbourne, where you’ll explore the iconic laneways with your expert CEO and learn to whip up delicious dishes in a cooking class led by a local restaurateur. Venture off the beaten path with an exclusive 4x4 expedition to French Island, home to one of the country’s largest koala populations. In the heart of the Red Centre, immerse yourself in Indigenous culture while read more exploring the wonders of Uluru and Kings Canyon. In sunny Sydney, choose between guided exploration with your CEO or free time to soak in the harbor city’s magic. Wrap up your journey in Queensland, with breathtaking rainforest views and time to dive into the Great Barrier Reef. Vegemite tasting? Your CEO can arrange that too — if you’re feeling adventurous.
Itinerary
Welcome to Australia and to Melbourne! Arrive at anytime and meet your new Solo-ish travel mates and CEO for a welcome meeting in the evening. After some long travel around the world, get some rest tonight before the adventures begin tomorrow! Stay: Causeway 353 Hotel
Today, get to know your fellow Solo-ish travellers, CEO and the city of Melbourne with a full day immersion into this vibrant city. Start at the Queen Victoria Markets. Continue your day with a cooking class in the heart of Melbourne CBD's Little Italy. Dive head first into Australian-Italian cuisine and cook up some pizzas alongside your new travel mates. After the delicious feast, join your CEO for a tour of Melbourne's laneway street art. Stay: Causeway 353 Hotel (L/D)
When we say one epic day- we do mean one.epic.day. On a full day trip to French Island, join your CEO on an off roading tour through the national park. French Island National park is home to Victoria's healthiest and most abundant wild koala population. With beautiful beaches, rocky coastline, and protected mangroves as the backdrop, join your local guides for an incredible adventure trying to spot koalas, long-nosed potaroos and potentially the incredibly rare bandicoots. End the day with an incredible G Adventures-style surprise. Stay: Causeway 353 Hotel (L)
Board a flight bound for Yulara, the gateway to Uluru and the Red Centre. Together with your Solo-ish mates and CEO, spend your day exploring the Australian outback, starting first with Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park and the Walpa Gorge walk. Watch the sunset around Uluru before making your way back to your permanent tented camp. Enjoy an outdoor meal and some bonding time under the stars with your fellow Solo-ish friends. Stay: Uluru Camp (D)
Rise early this morning and catch the breathtaking sunrise over Uluru, Australia's most iconic Indigenous landmark. This morning, explore Uluru on foot on a guided walk through some of the most culturally significant areas of the site. These sacred spaces are some of the oldest on the planet, and understanding the interpretation behind them makes them even more impactful. In the afternoon, drive to Kings Canyon overland, to your next permanent tented camp in the bush. Stay: Kings Canyon Camp (B/L/D)
In the desert morning, head out for an early hike throughout Kings Canyon. Choose between the harder 3 hour Rim hike and a more approachable 1 hour option. The Rim walk is a 6km walk along the upper rim of Kings Canyon. The most difficult part of the hike is the very beginning with a 500 step ascent, but the landscapes and views you are rewarded with are more than worth the effort. You won't even remember the effort it took to get up there. (Sort of!) If you prefer to take it easy, enjoy a 2km hike through canyon valley. In the afternoon, rest your legs on the drive to Alice Springs. Stay: Desert Palms Alice Springs Hotel (B/L)
Enjoy a morning tour of Alice Spring learning about Telegraph Station, Anzac Hill and more. Then fly from Alice Springs to Sydney. Arrive to the city in the afternoon and enjoy free time to settle in or explore. Opt to visit Spice Alley with your CEO and other hungry solo-ish mates for an Asian inspired dinner in this cool and unique spot. Stay: Rydges Sydney Central (B)
Join your CEO as you climb aboard the local ferry and travel from Sydney to Manly Beach. Manly is one of Australia's most famous beaches, which is quite the praise for a giant island nation. With world class surfing, beautiful water and lined with pine trees, you'll quickly learn why its so popular amongst locals and travelers alike. Relax on the beach, grab some fish n chips and ice cream or take the easy coastal walk to Shelly Beach. Return to Sydney CBD this evening for a dinner together out on the town. Stay: Rydges Sydney Central (D)
Spend today in Sydney however you'd like. It is your Me Day after all! Opt to join your CEO and other fellow Solo-ish travellers for a guided tour of the Sydney Opera House or choose to enjoy some solo time. Opt to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or whip through the bay on a Jet Boat ride. Stay: Rydges Sydney Central
Leave the city behind and fly north to Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. This afternoon, have a chance to explore Kuranda Village tucked away in Kuranda National Park. Do some shopping in the local market and visit the beautiful gardens. Then ride the Skyrail down towards Cairns. Pass over the top of the tropical rainforest, admire the incredible view and makes stops at a waterfall and other incredible lookout points. Stay: Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns
A free day in Cairns means one thing for most people, an adventure to the Great Barrier Reef! Book a tour out to sea to snorkel or scuba dive through the biggest coral reef system in the entire world. In the evening, opt to join your fellow Solo-ish travellers for one last hoorah together. Stay: Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns (B)
You arrived a solo traveller and are leaving with many new friends. Say goodbye to your fellow Solo-ish friends and depart at any time. (B)
