Oz East Coast Adventure & Work

Kicking off in sunny Brisbane, we'll meet you at the hostel. We recommend arriving before 3pm as that is when the tour starts.

Meet your new travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come. Explore the highlights of Queensland's capital, and chill out at the only city man-made beach in Australia called ‘The Lagoon'.

Heading up to the laidback coastal town of Rainbow Beach, this morning we'll get to soak in the relaxed vibes that Rainbow Beach has to offer. Kick back on the sand or take a stroll through town.

Head over to K’gari for the next 3 days where you’ll get to drive 4x4’s around the biggest sand island in the world. The beach and sand dunes are your highway for the next 3 days and then sleep beneath the stars in a purpose built campsite with your group.

On your second day on K’gari, swim in the incredible turquoise waters of Lake McKenzie and float down the lazy river of Eli Creek.

On your final day on K’gari, explore more interesting spots on the island like the Maheno Shipwreck, chill in the bubbles of the Champagne Pools, learn about the Aboriginal history on the island and spot dingoes in the wild.

Arriving back in Rainbow Beach, we’ll explore the colourful sand dunes before jumping on the overnight bus to the Whitsundays.

Made up of 74 tropical islands, we’ll board our boat for the next 2 nights. Relax and sunbathe on the deck as we sail to the outer parts of the Great Barrier Reef.

On your second day sailing around the Whitsundays you'll snorkel with an abundance of marine life, then later you’ll get to explore the amazing swirls of fine white sand on the world-famous Whitehaven Beach.

On your final day sailing the Whitsundays islands, you will continue to explore the stunning islands, pristine beaches, and vibrant marine life on your way back to the mainland. Once in Airlie Beach, you'll have some free time.

The next day you'll have some free time to explore Airlie Beach, or try out some epic optional activities.

Today we'll jump on the ferry to a slice of tropical paradise - Magnetic Island. Chill out in your ocean front hammock, and explore the hidden beaches.

Time to relax in the chilled out beachfront town of Mission Beach, with your choice of any adrenaline pumping experience this tiny town is known for. If you‘ve ever thought of skydiving this is the place! Jump at 15,000ft and soak up views of both the Great Barrier Reef and rainforests before landing on the beach, or white water raft the Tully River rapids through a specular gorge surrounded by World Heritage Rainforest.

Cairns is the ultimate backpacker adventure hub. Here you'll tick off a massive bucket list item and experience a full day on the Great Barrier Reef. You'll get to snorkel and sail the Great Barrier Reef and visit 2 unique outer reef locations. While in Cairns we'll also explore the real Aussie oasis of the Atherton Tablelands. You'll swim under epic waterfalls, slide down natural rock slides and swim in dormant volcano craters all while your experienced guide teaches you about this extraordinary place.

Tonight we wrap things up with a farewell dinner and drinks to toast the incredible adventures we've had together.

Your epic Aussie adventure comes to an end this morning. We'll get you ready to head out and secure the job of a lifetime in paradise! Plus if you need help with onward travel or working in Oz we are here to help for the rest of your time in Australia.
