Ready to spend an entire month exploring destinations in real depth? Four weeks allows you to experience multiple countries without that constant rushing around. You'll actually connect with local communities instead of just passing through, find those hidden gems that don't make it onto the tourist maps, catch seasonal festivals, pick up cooking traditions straight from the locals, and head home with genuine understanding of the places you visited rather than just surface-level impressions.

Day 3 includes beach time and a farewell BBQ before catching the overnight bus to Byron Bay.
- Days 4-6
Byron Bay
This relaxed surf town blends adventure with leisure. Start with a morning surf lesson (no experience needed), then unwind with yoga.

One traveler shared: "The proper Byron Bay experience with surfer dudes and yoga was just perfect."

Enjoy the Gold Coast's beaches and vibrant atmosphere. Try a jet boat ride for exciting coastal views but be ready to get wet. The beachfront comes alive at night with restaurants and bars.

What people love about 4-week tours
- Oz East Coast Adventure 28 Days
My Oz East Coast trip was the most incredible experience. All of the activities were so fun and I ticked off so much of my bucket list. Honourable mentions include: the Whitsundays trip and the Cairns waterfall tour. Our lovely tour guide Mia was amazing and made the tour run smoothly. Her knowledge of each area made each activity more interesting and she did such a good job in making sure we all felt included in all activities. She also helped us book all additional activities we wanted to do, including a skydive and Fitzroy island, both of which I loved. All of the accommodations were great and i loved not having to stress about transport or booking things independently. It allows you to really enjoy the places you’re visiting without any worries. I’d recommend this company/ tour to everyone. I’m going back home with best friends and the best memories ever. Thank you Mia and thank you Intro travel for the best trip ?

Everything was planned perfectly, it was a smooth running of the trip where I didn’t have to worry about anything as the group leader had it all sorted
- India Encompassed
Our group trip around India was a tour full of wonderment, enlightenment and excitement. In the first two weeks we had to cope with an unexpected drop in temperature in North India followed by a heat wave in the South for the remainder of our holiday. Not for one moment did these events spoil our trip. In no short measure this was due to the input from our guides. Shailendra, our guide for North India, was organised, empathetic, relaxed, fun and amazingly knowledgeable about all things India (and issues worldwide). His counter part, Selva, in South India was also well organised, approachable, and highly amusing in explaining some of the ecentricities of life in India. The country can be challenging to explore, particularly in respect of poverty and children begging. In this respect I wish to applaud G Adventures for their efforts to support charities and local industries. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour for the insights it provides into the good nature of the people, culture and history of a wonderful country.
