Welcome to Travel Buddies Australia, a 32 day semi self guided tour travelling from Sydney to Cairns. Combining the flexibility to explore at your own pace with the perks of travelling in a small social group, this experience takes you to the most iconic spots and hidden gems along Australia's East Coast, without the constraints of a fully guided tour. ## Small Group Social Adventure Experience Travel with a small group of up to 12 like-minded adventurers, hitting all of the iconic spots and hidden gems between Sydney and Cairns. From vibrant city life to the tropical rainforests in the north, you'll explore Australia's top destinations. A local Travel Buddies rep will meet you at key locations in Sydney, Byron Bay, Airlie Beach, and Cairns to assist with anything you need – minus the handholding. ## Comprehensive Inclusions and Epic Activities We handle all your accommodations, transport, and activities, allowing you to focus on living the adventure. Expect unforgettable experiences like a K'gari (Fraser Island) 4WD tag-along tour, sailing through the Whitsunday Islands, and catching waves at Arrawarra Surf Camp. Join a scenic flight over the famous Heart Reef, snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef, and explore the ancient Daintree Rainforest. ## Connected Travel Community Experience Once you're locked in, you'll be added to a dedicated WhatsApp group where you can connect with your fellow travellers, ask questions, and share the excitement. It's all about making friends, swapping stories, and planning your next spontaneous meetup. No strict itineraries, just a good balance of epic planned activities and free time to do your own thing.
