Can i have a single occupancy room

There is definitely a place for a single room on this trip, the cost is AU $5,535. You can just book it online, when you click the check availability or book button it will display the single option and price. We'd love to welcome you onboard our trip!

how many people in a group and what type of a bus do we travel in

The maximum number is 16 passengers. The bus can vary depending on the group size but it usually a 14 seater Hiace or a 24 seater Rosa. As the distance we cover can be long, we always make sure we have plenty of stops and breaks to get out of the bus, stretch our legs, see the sights, use the toilets, have some food, take photos etc.

Will the group be doing something together on the 9th? Please let me know when I could schedule my clients flight out of Bisbane on the 9th.

On 9 Nov we will travel back from Rainbow Beach to Brisbane. Your tour finishes at The Point Hotel on Day 8 (no accommodation included). We will be at the hotel by 3.00pm, there are no planned activities after this so you are free to leave when you wish.

What time does the tour end in Brisbane? We are looking to catch a cruise that afternoon from the Port of Brisbane and are wondering if the timing and location of the tour end would work for this.

Our tour normally arrives into Brisbane in the early afternoon, depending on traffic of course.

Could I have a private room, rather than sharing a bedroom?

A private room is possible with the single supplement upgrade.

This Sydney to Brisbane 8-day group trip was incredibly well organized from start to finish. The itinerary struck a great balance between structure and flexibility, and the accommodations were comfortable and thoughtfully chosen. Our guide, Cara, was especially standout — knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely considerate of each group member’s needs and pace. They created a welcoming group dynamic while also offering unique insight into the landscapes, culture, and natural beauty of Australia. Overall, it felt seamless, enriching, and like a really special way to experience this part of the country. I’d absolutely recommend it to others.Show more

  We are looking for a coach bus tour as we will have gotten off a cruise and will have 2 suitcases and 2 carry ons. The smaller Hiace will not be able to accommodate us. Any suggestions of other tours you have that will accommodate us with the same travel dates.
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written May 2025
  we have a trailer for the luggage. when you say two suitcases, do you mean a total two per person, so total of four or two in total? if you have one suitcase and I carry on per person that shouldn't be an issue.

- M
  Megan
  Traveler•Written February 2025
  On Day 8, which is 11/9/25 The group will leave Rainbow Beach and travel to Brisbane and should arrive at The Point Hotel around 3:00 pm. My clients would have to find their way from Point Hotel to airport for flight out late on 11/9 or early flight out on 11/10. Is this correct?
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written February 2025
  That is correct.

  The cruise leaves at 430 pm with boarding starting at noon. It seems that it would be quite rushed to make the ship on time.
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written July 2024
  Operations have confirmed we could make a stop by 2pm but we couldn't guarantee any earlier than that. Via Travel note there is a risk arriving into Brisbane on the day a cruise departs and can not be held responsible for delays beyond our control.
