If you’re thinking about travelling to Australia, and looking for a sign to tell you whether you should book an ULTIMATE Adventure from Sydney to Cairns, THIS IS IT!! Ultimate Travel is an experienced Adventure Tour Company that provides Guided Group Tours in Australia. I am going to show and tell you exactly why the 5 and 6 week Explorer tours are the best way for you to explore the land Down Under!
Australia has so much to offer, and one of the best ways to spend your time here is to explore one of the most popular backpacker routes in the world – Australia’s East Coast! From gorgeous coastlines of undisturbed white sandy beaches, lush Rainforests, unique (and at times deadly) wildlife, spectacular natural rock formations and not to mention, a crazy nightlife in the main cities, there are countless ULTIMATE MOMENTS to have!
Ultimate Travel’s East Coast tours journey from Sydney to Cairns, and depending on the amount of time that you have to explore, there are 2 In-Depth Explorer tours to choose from; the 5 Week Ultimate East Coast Explorer and the 6 Week Ultimate East Coast Explorer + Sydney.
// ULTIMATE EAST COAST EXPLORER – 5 WEEK
The 5 week Explorer tour is a 35 night adventure from Sydney to Cairns, with 11 epic stops. It includes 33 nights accommodation, an additional 2 nights on overnight buses, and 21 meals (9x Breakfast, 6x Lunch, 6x Dinner). The East Coast tour kicks off with a tour of Sydney’s city, and then you’re off to Byron Bay to learn how to surf! You’ll then hit up Surfers Paradise and Brisbane, where you’ll experience Aussie nightlife. Next up, Noosa, Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island – the biggest sand island in the world! Then, you’ll spend 2 glorious days cruising the Whitsunday islands on a private sailing yacht, before heading to Airlie Beach, to soak up the paradise vibes. You’ll immerse yourself in Magnetic Island – home to koalas, wallabies and gorgeous golden beaches, and after 3 days you’re off to Mission beach, which is renowned for its breathtaking sunrises. Once in Cairns, you’ll explore the Tablelands region, chill under waterfalls and slide down natural rock slides, before getting to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef and create unforgettable memories with your new mates.
// ULTIMATE EAST COAST EXPLORER PLUS SYDNEY – 6 WEEK
In essence, the 6 week ‘Plus Sydney’ tour is the exact same as the 5 week tour, travelling from Sydney to Cairns, with the addition of an extra week in Sydney at the start of the trip. This option is designed for travellers who have more time to spend in Aus, and want to experience the magic Sydney has to offer.
The week starts with a cruise on a private catamaran, sailing under the Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House. You’ll then visit Bondi Beach and soak in all the beachy vibes of the iconic Aussie landmark, before exploring, hiking and chasing waterfalls at the world renowned Blue Mountains National Park! The entire week is also spent at Sydney’s BEST Hostel, WakeUp Hostel! This hostel has won countless awards and is also next door to one of the best nightlife venues in Sydney – SideBar!
When it comes to the Explorer East Coast Tours, just over 60% of Ultimate customers go with the 5 week option and about 40% opt for the 6 Week Explorer + Sydney tour. Your decision on which option to book should come down to and depend on how long you have to travel and if you want to explore more of Sydney and city life, before leaving for the East Coast.
