East Coast Itinerary
Before You Travel
Before and after you book the tour, we know that you’ll have questions about travelling to Australia. This is totally natural and we’re able to help with all of this, not just over email but through our famous free, personalised travel advice calls.
We’ll do one of these on your preferred platform at a time that works for you meaning you can ask us anything and everything. Book one in by clicking the button below.
The support continues with helpful info emails leading up to you joining us on tour. The week before your tour we’ll also create a group on our app to connect you with everyone that you’ll be on tour with!
Sydney
Day 1
Today is the day, the day you meet your new tour guide and the day that you meet your new travel family for the best 4 weeks of your life.
We will get to know each other in our meet and greet session, where we’ll also go over your itinerary for your East Coast adventure, answering anything and everything so that you feel as relaxed and excited as possible.
After that we’ll head for a cool secret inclusion followed by a Welcome Dinner, our first meal as a travel fam! That evening be getting the overnight bus to our next stop, beautiful Byron Bay.



Byron Bay
Days 2-4
With its beautiful beaches, epic surf, great food and good vibes, every traveller has Byron Bay on their bucket list.
You will do a tour of ‘the Bay’ with your tour guide before having a group meal to celebrate your first night in town.
The next 2 days are all about you, that’s the beauty of our style of trip. Some of your group may want to surf or just chill on the beach. Everyone’s different but whatever you want to do, our tour guide will be able to help with.
We’ll spend your second evening on a stunning river kayak tour finishing at the pub. The final evening in Byron Bay will be a team night out, what a great first few days!
Whilst in Byron Bay we’ll be staying at the incredible Surf House, which is 100m from the beach AND has a rooftop bar.



Surfers Paradise
Days 5-6
From Byron Bay, you’ll be heading up the Coast as a group without your tour guide, but worry not, before this your guide will host a special session to help with the rest of your time in Australia.
However, you will have guided experiences throughout your East Coast trip and the first one is in Surfers Paradise.
You’ll be taken on a guided walk around Burleigh Heads coastline with an Aboriginal guide who will be telling you all about the rich history of the land and their people… which is mind blowing.
Your next stop is Surfers Paradise where you’ll stay in the best hostel on the Gold Coast.
Here you’ll have time to hit the beach, or go to one of the many theme parks, all of which we can help organise for you!



Brisbane
Days 7-9
Brisbane, the capital of Queensland is a cool metropolitan city, with so many beautiful national parks surrounding it.
It’s at this time where people either need to charge up their social batteries or go on an adventure. That’s the best part about it being semi guided.
Moreton Island is one of our most popular add-ons where you can be sandboarding down sand dunes, kayaking around shipwrecks and snorkelling with the local marine life. Also this is where you can head to Australia Zoo. Get up close with kangaroos and maybe even Robert Irwin.



Noosa
Days 10-12
Noosa is a popular holiday destination for travellers, but also Aussies. To be honest, Noosa is as perfect as life gets.
Like Byron Bay, it has beaches to die for and a great food scene, but it also has a National Park that’s just 500m from town. This National Park is home to the famous Fairy Pools.
We have the best advice on how to explore the National Park and the rest of Noosa, as well as where the best sunset spots are.
We’re committed to you staying at the best hostels and here we’ll stay in Bounce, a brand new hostel that’s just minutes from the turquoise river, perfect of a swim. Not only is Noosa itself stunning, it’s not far away from 1 of the world’s 2 Everglades National Parks.



The Everglades
Days 13-14
After Noosa, we’ve organised for you to stay lakeside at Habitat Noosa. Here you’ll be staying together in cabins / safari tents that are surrounded by kangaroos every evening. You can grab a kayak or paddleboard and hit the lake or chill out on land with a beer at the onsite brewery.
On your 2nd day at Habitat you’ll be lucky enough to experience the Everglades National Park, firstly on a boat cruise, and then secondly by canoe. Both are on the spectacular River of Mirrors. Don’t worry, it’s a short distance to canoe and they supply everything you need!



K'gari
Days 15-20
K’gari (meaning paradise) is the traditional name for a place you may know as Fraser Island. The world’s largest sand island is one of the East Coast’s most popular places for travellers like you.
We explore the rainforest, sand blows and freshwater lakes (like Lake McKenzie) on a 4WD tag along tour so we can see every part of it. You will also get the chance to drive!* We stay as a group on the island, before returning to beautiful Rainbow Beach. Because it’s the coast’s perfect beginner beach, this is where we can book you a Surf Lesson!
*Must be 21+ and hold a valid drivers license.



Whitsundays
Days 21-23
We want you to experience the best things on the East Coast, and the Whitsundays is one of them. What’s better than experiencing the Whitsundays once? Experiencing it twice! We’re obviously going to ensure you see the Whitsundays by boat, on a fantastic day trip that includes snorkelling pristine waters and visiting Whitehaven Beach.
Before that though, we’re going to take you on a truly once in a lifetime experience, a 60 minute, scenic flight over Heart Reef. Yes, that’s included!



Magnetic Island
Days 24-26
You may not have heard of Magnetic Island but it is a true Welcome to Travel favourite, I mean look at it! After so many activities this is a great place to relax and recharge before your final stop, Cairns.
There’s no better place to chill than ‘Maggy’ home to so many wild koala bears and wallabies. While on Magnetic Island you’ll be able to do the famous Forts Walk, hire kayaks, snorkels or wait for it… Barbie Cars. All of which we’ll be able to help you with of course 🙂



Cairns
Day 27-30
And just like that, you’ve travelled nearly 3000km and you are now a true travel family.
To celebrate this, you’re going to spend an incredible day out on the Great Barrier Reef, where you’ll snorkel with Nemo. If you want, you’ll also get the opportunity to scuba dive too! Following that, you’ll clink our glasses and say cheers to the best month of our lives at your final farewell meal.
With so many things to do, Cairns is THE place for backpackers. From white water rafting, to rainforest trips, bungy jumps, Skydives and more we can help you book all of these different things in Cairns.

Interactive Map
Browse Australia and learn where you’ll be going.
Sydney | NSW
Day 1
Australia’s most iconic city needs no introduction.
Head down to Circular Quay to tick off the Opera House and Harbour Bridge before your East Coast tour starts. Soak in the atmosphere by grabbing a drink in the Opera House Bar or chilling in the nearby Botanical Gardens.
Looking for a beach as soon as you arrive in Australia? Bondi is famous for a reason, but our top tip is to also walk the coastal path along to Coogee stopping off at the smaller beaches as you go.
Back in the CBD, check out the Town Hall, Queen Victoria Buildings and Darling Harbour if you have time.
Byron Bay | NSW
Days 2 - 4
This is the Australian surf town you’ve been dreaming of. The sweeping main beach is the main attraction and for good reason, it is stunning. But you’ll find so much more than surfers in the water, the bay is also famous for its dolphins so keep your eyes peeled. Then on the horizon, sit the lighthouse, marking the most easterly point of mainland Australia.
Back in town, you have cool cafes, quirky shops and plenty of bars to keep you entertained. And don’t be surprised if the locals are walking around barefoot, this is surfer land.
Surfers Paradise | QLD
Days 5 - 6
With its striking skyline of skyscrapers along the beach, Surfers Paradise feels a world away from Byron Bay’s hippie vibes. Unlike the name suggests this is not the place to go surfing. Instead it’s the place to party.
With a great nightlife scene, you can easily spend your nights out out and your days recovering on the beach. If you’re after a little more adrenaline, this is also where you’ll find Australia’s best theme parks and water parks.
Brisbane | QLD
Days 7 - 9
The capital of Queensland and the last big city of the East Coast, Brisbane offers everything from great nightlife to nature-filled day trips, shops and markets to inner-city lagoons. The river forms the heart of the city, with handy ferries to get around.
For the best view over the city, head to Mt Coot-tha for sunset. For a chilled-out afternoon, chill at Southbank Parklands. For nature-lovers, Australia Zoo is a train ride away. While adrenaline junkies should take a day trip to Moreton Island.
Noosa | QLD
Days 10 - 14
Once you’ve visited Noosa, you’ll want to live in Noosa. This spot has it all, incredible beaches, gorgeous national park. The coolest shops and bars around. Oh and it’s home to the best hostel on the East Coast too.
You have to check out Noosa National Park, a short 10 min walk from the main beach. Take the coastal path to the Fairy Pools for a dip then keep walking around to Hell’s Gate for a wicked view.
Rainbow Beach | QLD
Days 15 & 19 - 20
This small beachside town is the gateway to K’gari, but it’s not one to overlook. This is quaintly small town Australia without going into the outback.
Head over to the iconic rainbow steps for a photo and an afternoon sunbathing on the beach. The one spot you can’t miss is Carlo Sandblow at sunset. The view is spectacular anytime of day but add in the sunset colours and it’s simply magical.
K'gari | QLD
Days 16 - 18
K’gari translates to paradise and there’s no better introduction to this island. As the largest sand island in the world the beaches are absolutely spectacular. But it’s the freshwater lakes dotted across the island that you’ll also want to explore. Boorangoora (Lake Mckenzie) has perfect blue water, while Lake Wabby is surprisingly green. Or take a dip in the Champagne Pools.
Being a sand island, the only way to get around is with a 4×4. You’ll be driving along the beach, stopping off at the lakes for a swim and finishing the day with a campfire under the stars.
Airlie Beach | QLD
Days 21 - 23
With the Whitsunday Islands visible across the horizon from Airlie Beach, this spot has possibly one of the best views of the coast. While you’ll definitely be heading out to the islands, there’s still plenty to do in Airlie Beach.
Stroll around the many marinas (and daydream about owning a yacht), take a dip in the lagoon or just stretch out on the beach. There’s plenty of shops, cafes and great bars here too. And a market pops up every Saturday too.
Magnetic Island | QLD
Days 24 - 26
Is this the East Coast’s best kept secret? We think so.
This is island living as you imagined it, with perfect beaches and a surprising amount of trees, this island has it all.
Magnetic Island is home to the densest population of wild koalas in Australia, so you have a high change of spying these aussie creatures in the wild.
Cairns | QLD
Days 27 - 30
The end of the East Coast, but not the end of your adventure. Here the city acts as a gateway to explore the best of North Tropical Queensland.
Back in the city, there’s great nightlife to be found, heaps of cafes, restaurants and bars and ample shopping options too for any last min souvenirs.
Lighthouse | Included
Day 3
Perched on Australia’s most easterly point, the Cape Byron Lighthouse is one of the most iconic landmarks on the East Coast — and the views from up here are absolutely stunning. The walk up through Byron Bay’s headland reserve is worth it on its own, with humpback whales regularly spotted offshore between June and November, and dolphins a near-constant presence in the waters below. Watching the sunrise from the lighthouse is a Byron Bay rite of passage, and standing at the easternmost tip of an entire continent is a feeling that’s hard to put into words. Start early, bring a coffee.
Sunset Kayak | Included
Day 4
There’s no better way to end a day in Byron Bay than out on the water as the sun goes down. Your sunset kayak takes you along Byron’s stunning coastline, paddling past the iconic headland as the sky turns shades of orange, pink and gold. Keep your eyes peeled too — dolphins are a near-constant presence in these waters and often swim alongside kayakers, which makes for an utterly surreal experience. It’s a peaceful contrast to some of the bigger thrills elsewhere on the tour, and drifting back to shore in the fading light with your group is one of those simple, brilliant travel moments you don’t forget.
First Nations Tour | Included
Day 5
One of the most meaningful experiences on the entire tour, your First Nations cultural experience on K’gari offers a rare and deeply respectful insight into one of the world’s oldest living cultures. Learn about the island’s original custodians, the Butchulla people, who have called K’gari home for thousands of years. From traditional storytelling and connection to country, to understanding the spiritual significance of the land and waterways around you, this is a chance to listen, learn, and leave with a much richer understanding of Australia’s history and heritage. Welcome to Travel is proud to support and platform First Nations voices.
Everglades | Included
Day 13
The Noosa Everglades are one of only two everglades systems in the world, and exploring them by kayak or canoe is a genuinely unique experience. Paddle through narrow, mirror-still waterways flanked by ancient paperbark trees, with the silence broken only by birdsong and the occasional plop of a fish. The reflections on the water are extraordinary — on a calm day it’s almost impossible to tell which way is up. With a guide leading the way through this pristine ecosystem, it’s a side of Australia that most travellers never get to see, and one that’s guaranteed to stay with you.
Fairy Pools | Included
Day 11
Tucked within the stunning Noosa National Park, the Fairy Pools are a series of naturally formed rock pools perched above the coastline — and they’re as magical as the name suggests. Your time in Noosa is all about embracing that laid-back Sunshine Coast energy, and a walk through the national park to discover the pools is the ideal way to spend a morning. The trail itself is beautiful, winding through coastal heathland with stunning ocean views along the way. Whether you take a dip or just soak up the scenery, this one’s a proper hidden gem.
Kangaroos | Included
Day 13
Getting up close with kangaroos is one of those quintessentially Australian experiences, and Habitat Noosa is one of the best places on the East Coast to do it. This incredible wildlife sanctuary is home to kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats and a whole host of native Australian wildlife, all in a beautifully natural setting. Hand-feed a kangaroo, walk among the mob, and grab a photo you’ll be showing people for years. After the wilder, more rugged wildlife encounters earlier on the tour, Habitat Noosa is a chance to get truly up-close-and-personal with Australia’s most iconic animals — and it never gets old.
4x4 Offroading | Included
Days 16 - 19
K’gari — formerly known as Fraser Island — is the world’s largest sand island, and the only way to explore it properly is behind the wheel of a 4×4. Buckle up for a seriously fun off-road adventure across sandy tracks, through rainforests that grow straight out of sand dunes, and past freshwater lakes that look like they’ve been photoshopped. Your convoy of 4x4s will tackle the island’s iconic terrain together, with a guide pointing out the best spots along the way. It’s part road trip, part wilderness adventure — and one of the most unique experiences on the entire East Coast.
Whitsundays Boat | Included
Day 22
After taking it all in from the air, it’s time to get on the water. Your Whitsundays boat day is a full-day sailing trip through the 74 islands of the archipelago, with snorkelling in pristine waters and a visit to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach included. With its brilliant white silica sand and swirling turquoise tides, Whitehaven consistently ranks among the best beaches on the planet — and when you’re standing on it, you’ll understand exactly why. Sail, swim, snorkel, and soak it all up with your travel group by your side.
Whitsundays Flight | Included
Day 22
What’s better than experiencing the Whitsundays once? Experiencing it twice — and from two completely different perspectives. Before you board your sailing vessel, we’re treating you to a 60-minute scenic flight over the iconic Heart Reef. From up above, the sheer scale and beauty of the Whitsundays is jaw-dropping — a patchwork of turquoise water, sandbanks, and coral that stretches as far as the eye can see. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that very few travellers get to tick off, and it’s fully included in your tour. Cameras at the ready.
Koalas | Included
Day 25
One of the most special things about Magnetic Island is just how easy it is to encounter wildlife in the wild — no zoo required. The island is home to one of Australia’s largest wild koala populations, and spotting one curled up in a eucalyptus tree along the famous Forts Walk is a rite of passage. Keep your eyes peeled for wallabies, possums and a huge array of birdlife too. It’s a reminder that Australia’s wildlife isn’t just something you see on a postcard — it’s right there, living its best life alongside you.
Island Life | Included
Day 24
Welcome to Maggy — and trust us, you’re going to love it here. Magnetic Island is a genuine hidden gem sitting just a short ferry ride from Townsville, with over 70% of the island protected as national park. Think eucalyptus forests, secluded bays, and wild wallabies wandering past your hostel. After weeks of non-stop action, Magnetic Island is the perfect place to slow down, recharge, and soak it all in. Hire a snorkel, grab a kayak, or simply find a quiet beach and do absolutely nothing — you’ve earned it.
Snorkel | Included
Day 28
No list of East Coast highlights is complete without the Great Barrier Reef, and we’ve saved this one until last for good reason. On your final stop in Cairns, you’ll head out to one of the seven natural wonders of the world for an unforgettable snorkelling experience. Glide through crystal-clear water above technicolour coral, alongside tropical fish, sea turtles and reef sharks. With a local expert guide in the water with you, this is as immersive and as safe as it gets. It’s the kind of moment that genuinely stops you in your tracks — and the perfect way to sign off on 30 days of adventure.
