But we also know every traveller is different. Your bucket list might include a skydive, but for some, the mere thought of jumping out of a plane may make them run. That’s why we didn’t include every activity in your trip. Instead you can choose your own to add and personalise your travels!
To make sure you have exactly the trip of your dreams, you can book your Add-ons before you land in Australia. That way you’ll be guaranteed to do all the epic activities on the coast.
Got a few in mind but not completely sure? We totally understand. You’ll also have the opportunity to book Add-ons when you arrive in Australia on the first few days of your tour, but this is subject to availability as depending on what time of year you travel, activities and excursions can sell out in advance
Take a peak at what you could be doing 👀
The Australian pastime! And the surf town of Byron Bay is the perfect place to learn with plenty of beginner waves to choose from.
We have an exclusive surf lesson offer with spots on hold just for our tours. So for this one, you’ll be able to get booked in by your East Coast guide on tour.
You’ll be kayaking and snorkelling around shipwrecks, swimming surrounded by fish and a turtle or two if you’re lucky. Then get your adrenaline pumping by sandboarding down the dunes.
This adventure-packed day is popular and one that tends to sell out in our peak months. So this one we highly recommend adding in advance.
You’ll be exploring the very best of Australia’s wildlife all from a stunning island. Spend your morning hiking and your afternoon swimming, then finish the day with the most amazing sunset spot.. Keep your eyes peeled and if you’re lucky you’ll see wallabies, dolphins, whales and koalas all in their natural habitat.
The home of the crocodile hunter! Feed kangaroos, see koalas and watch the crocodile feeding show all with your new mates. But that’s not all, you’ll see animals from every continent, and if you’re lucky… you may meet the Irwin family too.
This is always a popular choice so you’ll definitely have friends from your group heading to the zoo with you.
This is a claim not many people can take. But you can! Take part in a surf lesson on Australia’s longest wave aka more time for you to get up on your board and surf! If you’re keen to make the Australian pastime your new hobby, this is a wave you can’t miss.
Australia’s East Coast is home to so much sea life, and you’ll be getting up close to dolphins! A few pods of dolphins call Rainbow Beach home, and you can spend a morning on the waves becoming one with nature.
The Whitsundays are stunning. So a jet ski tour lets you see these incredible islands and the abundance of sea life that surrounds them… with plenty of adrenaline thrown in. Take part in a 60 minute jet ski safari from Airlie Beach for a truly unique experience.
This one is for the adventurous. Spend a full day on the Tully River riding the rapids and waves on a white water rafting adventure. It’s fast, it’s fun and you have the rainforest as your backdrop. The rapids in Tully are graded 3-4 aka really good white water rafting!
You’ll be snorkelling in The Great Barrier Reef as part of your tour, but if you’ve ever wanted to try out scuba diving, now’s your chance! We have an exclusive offer to upgrade your snorkel to an introductory scuba dive for only $40.
This epic upgrade can be booked in by your East Coast Guide when you’re in Byron.
So you’re actually part-mermaid and you want to get your scuba diving PADI? The Great Barrier Reef is the most magical place to do it. A 5 day PADI course will have you certified and includes 2 days living abroad in The Great Barrier Reef. Life goals.
Get ready to combine the best of Australia: picture-perfect beaches and The Great Barrier Reef with a day trip to nearby Fitzroy Island from Cairns. You’ll spend your day snorkelling the reef and sun-bathing on the beaches.. But that’s not all, you’ll also be able to view the underwater wonderland from a glass bottom boat.
Bucket list moment. If you’re even thinking you might want to skydive then you definitely should (sorry mum!). It’s a moment you’ll never ever forget. You’ll be skydiving over The Great Barrier Reef and landing on Mission Beach – woah. This is also a super popular Add-on so we highly recommend booking in advance.
There’s only one place you can bungy jump in Australia. But luckily you’ll be heading there! And what a way to begin a day than with a bungy jump in Cairns. For extra adrenaline you can choose an adventure pass to bungy as many times as you like.
Combine these two epic tours including a nights stay in The Wallaby Eco Lodge with an exclusive night canoe. This is the most popular Uncle Brian’s tour and it sells out quickly weeks in advance.
We have limited spots on hold just for our tours… so the earlier you book this one the better!
Spend a day literally chasing waterfalls from tropical Cairns. You’ll visit four spots in total from waterfalls you can slide down to the picture-perfect Millaa Millaa Falls (made famous by Peter Andre’s music video). All with our friends at Uncle Brian’s who create really fun backpacker memories.
You can’t visit Australia without exploring the rainforests. And if you had to pick one, The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest in the world. Join Uncle Brian’s tour to Cape Tribulation for a day of picture-perfect beaches, ancient rainforests and a croc-spotting cruise.
