Best East Coast Australia Backpacker Tours
I'm planning my gap year and want to buy a round the world ticket to visit Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and maybe Fiji. I will be backpacking by myself and I really want to see the major highlights of Australia. I'll be flying into Sydney so I thought about doing a tour on the east coast to see places like the great barrier reef. I know public buses would be cheaper but as I'm by myself I prefer a tour to meet new people. If anyone has been to Australia and done a tour let me know.
Firstly, you are going to absolutely love the east coast of Australia, it is stunning with so many world famous attractions to see. Like you know, Australia tours aren't cheap, but they do include accommodation which Down Under is very expensive and they are a lot of fun. We would recommend these trips with Contiki:
• Beaches and Reefs (16 days, Sydney to Cairns, from £2176)
• North Queensland Adventure (9 days, Airlie Beach to Cairns, from £948)
• City to Surf (8 days, Sydney to Brisbane, from £1105)
• Great Barrier Reef Explorer (3 days, Cairns, from £473)
• Ultimate Australia (20 days, Sydney to Uluru, from £3000)
