    Asked on February 15th, 2026

    I am looking to book last minute for the tour starting on the 9th March, however on the online Welcome To Travel Australia it is sold out but on here there are 3 available spaces. Just wanted to check what one is correct

    Karen

    Asked on December 11th, 2025

    My friend and I (both 26 year old females) are looking to do a trip down the east coast Sydney-Cairns. We both don't drink/party so we're hoping for a more social but not a party group closer in age to ourselves. We are currently looking at a May start date. Could you advise whether your groups would be suitable and if you can the demographic for dates in May. We also were interested in private room options (or smaller female only) if available. Could you advise how much extra this would be.

    • Welcome To TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      Our Welcome to Australia: East Coast Tour is 30 days long. All accommodation will be in 8-bed mixed dorms throughout the tour, unless you purchase our Private Room Upgrade which is $3,999 AUD and excludes accommodation on Magnetic Island. We do get a mix of people on tour, including a mix of ages, nationalities and interests so it's difficult to ensure the dynamic of the group and whether they'll be looking to party or have a more chilled time.

    Harry

    Asked on October 9th, 2023

    How much are all the experiences- eg kayaking, Noosa National Park fees, boat trip to Whitsundays etc. As some things are described as included- eg flight over Whitsundays, but most things aren't detailed as such. How much money will all these trips and activities cost? What is included and what isn't?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Welcome To TravelOperatorWritten October 2023

      For the tour with all the inclusions, it's $3999AUD. You can book extra activities through us as well. You can either book them in advance or you can wait until you're on tour - it's completely up to you! Additional tours include: Rainforest Road Trip Add On, Skydive, Bungy Jump, Surf Lesson, White Water Rafting, Dive Course.

      Harry

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      I've looked at your tour inclusions and I'm afraid I'm still confused. Is there any way you can send me a direct comprehensive list of what is and isn't included? Like the kayaking is on the 'optional extras' list, so I'm assuming this is not included? Because it is on the itinerary. If so, how much for this? It would also be great if you could send the prices of those extras you have listed there as well, i.e. the bungee jumping that would be great.

    • Welcome To TravelOperatorWritten October 2023

      All inclusions within the East Coast Tour are on the website in the itinerary section. The itinerary and inclusions list does state the sunset kayaking in Byron Bay is included, it is not an optional extra.
