East Coast Add-Ons
Skydive over the Great Barrier Reef, jet ski around the Whitsundays or sandboard down the dunes of Moreton Island. Our add-ons are perfect for thrill seekers, wildlife lovers and anyone who wants to make their trip their own. Pick your adventures.
Make It Yours
Your East Coast adventure is going to be amazing!
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.
