Im trying to book a 14 day trip between australia and new zealand. Hoping to get some help with this. Want to see as much as i can in that short time. I would rather give a few more days to New Zealand.

At the moment, Intrepid doesn't offer a combined Australia + New Zealand tour within one 14-day itinerary. With Sydney to Brisbane Adventure, you can do New Zealand South Island Adventure – 12 days (A great option if you want to see as much of NZ as possible within your timeframe) Or, New Zealand Northern Trail – 10 days (Covers the highlights of the North Island).

Is it guaranteed that the tour from sydney to brisbane from 14sept-20sept will go on? Is this tour also a good period to travel in september? Whats the weather?

The trip is guaranteed to depart unless something logistically means the trip cannot proceed. September is a great time to travel. The weather is mild and pleasant, with daytime temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C. Nights can be cooler, so pack a light jacket. It's a great time for outdoor activities and exploring the coastal areas and national parks.

Is there space to book on the tour that departs July 12, Sidney to Brisbane?

Yes there are 10 spots available to be requested in this tour that departs on 12th July

visa guidance. how much will it cost for a week or 10 days including food and shelter. guided tour?

The trip Sydney to Brisbane Adventure is on sale and the price is USD $1,728. This includes Meals (1 breakfast, 1 dinner), transfer and accommodation during the tour and few optional activities.

We are looking for a departure date for the Sydney to Brisbane tour in the end of April /early May, 2024?

We have only loaded the trip costs until the month of March 2024. The requested time frame will be loaded in the future, please keep an eye on the website.

Would it be possible to extend stay. Would like to meet up with friends in Adelaide fly home to USA from Adelaide. Also any assistance with getting flight from Sydney to Adelaide?

The tour ends in The Point Brisbane Hotel in Brisbane, therefore unfortunately we are only able to help you book extra accommodation in Brisbane. You might have to make your own arrangements to extend your stay in Adelaide.

Do you have other tours out from Sydney starting early Jan 2024 Or May be Brisbane to Cairns?

Unfortunately, we do not have any departures that starts before 09 Jan 2024 in Sydney. Please let us know if you are interested in any other departure dates.

What time on April 6th does this group get together? We are getting off a cruise ship in Sidney the morning of the 6th.

The trip starts with a welcome meeting at 2pm (for departures up until and including May 2023) or 6pm (for departures from June 2023) on day 1 and finishes upon arrival into Brisbane on the last day at approximately 10am.

How easily can this trip accommodate an 83 year old woman? I'm younger and more active but am bringing my mom

This itinerary will have a moderate level of physical activity but if your mom is mobile and willing I am sure it will be a great option for you both! It is definitely a beautiful part of the country!

does the price include airfare? Is it in Canadian dollars?

The tours we offer don't include international airfare, as travellers can join any of the trips from many different countries. The price is in Canadian dollars, and includes all taxes!

I want to give a 5 for the tour but it was nerve racking that I never got a welcome package or solid itinerary. The Monday before the Friday trip I called with urgency asking my meeting hotel. The guide told me it was a holiday and he would have someone get back in touch with me. I am freaking out because i fly Thursday..takes a couple days to get there from USA. So no one calls or notifies me there is a response in my box saying that it is probably these hotels but not for sure. Then another text comes later saying where the meeting hotel is and giving me an itinerary with no times, hotel, etc. Just the basic one that you see online before purchasing. I wanted to set up transfers but the transfer buttons would not populate. I was so afraid no one would be there but since it is an English speaking country i knew i could figure it out if i go there and no one is avail. I arrive and take uber to the hotel. Luckily, another tour member was at the desk the same time as me! She too did not get information. I was so happy to meet her. We got a welcome paper stating our guide would be five hours late. Now, we are both nervous but grateful the rooms were already booked and in our names. So later when our wonderful guide Max shows up we can begin to really calm down. He was a great guide. He went over and beyond as far as making us feel comfortable and treating us to bbqs and planned events when one of the planned presentations fell through. The lack of being able to have a detailed itinerary nor be able to talk to someone...I even wrote Intrepid to no avail. My ending day I booked my flight too early assuming we were in Brisbane for the last day. In actuality we drive to the finishing spot on the last day so i had to shuttle myself out of Byron Bay and stay at another hotel to catch my 6:00a.m flight. These hiccups could have been avoided if someone could respond in a proper fashion. They say they are not fully manned at this time. Answering phones and texts is not a difficult job. I would do it for you for a discount...lol. Just saying. The trip was amazing. Great spots, fun stuff, good food. Please do this just make sure you get the details and can reach someone...Show more

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear that further details on your itinerary had not been provided to you, leaving you a little uncertain on what your daily plans entailed. Now that travel is back we are finding that we are inundated with keen travellers ready to explore again, resulting in a number of enquiries that we are working through whilst we rebuild our teams. We are, however very pleased to hear that you had a fabulous time with our incredible leader Max and enjoyed exploring a very beautiful part of Australia!

The tour guide was amazing. Really full of life and was excellent. The transport bus was really poor, badly maintained. The air con was really bad, it was cramped and just a worn out bus, no comfort! The accommodation is ok but odd places were not good. Awfull lot of the journey on the dual carriageway. Shame we didn't use more of the scenic routes. Overall I thought there is alot better value to be found. Not recommended.Show more

Our tour guide Andrew Thomas was so good putting out safety and enjoyment above all else, but even he could not help the fires and disruption to our tour.We were dismayed to find we had to pay out 400 plus dollars to fund our internal flights which we thought Intrepid should have paid for. We have travel insurance but some recompense from you would be appreciated . The visits to the chocolate factory and vodka distillery were poor and just money making spots. Altogether the tour apart from the guide was a disappointment, certainly not suitable for 9 year olds or 90 year olds but just manageable for a young 75 year old.Show more

  I've got two options: the tour sydney-brisbane 7 days from 14th sept to 20th september and the tour brisbane-cairns 8days from 6th september to 13th september. When I book, will both tours definitely be operating? Which tour is better to do in this period?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2025
  Both the Sydney-Brisbane 7-day tour (September 14th to 20th) and the Brisbane-Cairns 8-day tour (September 6th to 13th) are currently confirmed to operate. The Sydney to Brisbane tour focuses on cultural and coastal beauty of southern Queensland, with experiences like Hunter Valley wine tasting, Byron Bay, and walks through national parks. The Brisbane to Cairns tour is about nature, wildlife, and landscapes, including K'gari (Fraser Island), Whitehaven Beach, and Atherton Tablelands. If you're interested in coastal cities and cultural sites, choose Sydney to Brisbane. If you want nature, wildlife, and beautiful beaches, choose Brisbane to Cairns.
