Itinerary
Day 1 Sydney
Ankunft zu jeder Zeit.
Heute Abend kannst du beim Ausgehen den Rest der Gruppe kennenlernen. Es geht in die Side Bar direkt neben dem Wake Up Hostel, deiner Unterkunft in Sydney. Das ist die beliebteste Bar weit und breit und hier ist immer mächtig was los. Also freu dich auf gute Drinks und großartige Unterhaltung, feiere mit den anderen den Beginn eurer Reise und tanze bis zum Umfallen!
Day 2 Sydney
Immerse yourself in all things Sydney with a free day to explore the oldest and biggest Australian city. Glide along the harbour on a ferry and gaze at the white sails of the Opera House gleaming in the sun. Get lost as you wander the narrow, cobbled laneways and take in Sydney’s fabled history. Catch some rays on the sand at Bondi Beach or duck out of your comfort zone and surf the green-barrel breaks just off shore, and perhaps treat yourself to a scenic flyover tour of the city. The choice is yours so get as adventurous as you like in the "Land Down Under"!
Day 3 Sydney/Arrawarra
It's all aboard today as you take the train north to Coffs Harbour. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the views. After pulling into Coffs Harbour station, the group will travel to Spot X Surf Camp, our base for the next few days
Day 4 Arrawarra
Während die Sonne über dem Meer aufgeht, geht es an den Strand für eine inbegriffene Surfstunde mit Spot X, wo man sich hier an einem der schönsten Küstenabschnitte im ganzen Land vollkommen dem Surferleben verschrieben hat.
Versuche dich mit den anderen am Wellenreiten, bevor es weitergeht zu einer Känguruwanderung. Danach hast du einen freien Nachmittag, um deine Umgebung zu entdecken. Sieh dir das Meeresschutzgebiet Solitary Islands Marine Park an, spaziere vorbei an Gezeitentümpeln und halte Ausschau nach Meeresbewohnern, oder lass dir ein Picknick am Mullawarra Beach schmecken. Mache, worauf du gerade Lust hast, und genieße einfach den Tag!
Day 5 Arrawarra/Byron Bay
Heute warten wunderschöne Nationalparks, paradiesische Strände, sanfte grüne Hügel und belebte kleine Orte voller Charme und authentisch australischem Flair auf der Fahrt von Arrawarra nach Byron Bay. Bei einem Stopp beim Cape Byron Lighthouse am östlichsten Punkt des Landes kannst du mit etwas Glück Wale und Herden der hier lebenden Delfine sehen. Hol dir dann noch ein Mittagessen, bevor der Tag in der Surfer- und Künstlerstadt Byron Bay endet
Day 6 Byron Bay
Welcome to Byron Bay… the city of surfing and sunbathing! The day is yours to explore; walk along hidden beaches, play in the surf, grab a massage. Want to get your adrenaline pumping? Go skydiving, try sea kayaking, or go on a dolphin watch
Day 7 Byron Bay/Brisbane
Heute geht es mit der Gruppe nach Norden nach Brisbane, die Hauptstadt von Queensland. Das bedeutet eine Fahrt vorbei an Nationalparks, Bergen, Surfparadiesen und endlos langen Sandstränden am herrlich blauen Ozean. Und wenn du Hunger bekommst, hol dir was vom berühmten Yatala Pie Shop, der bereits seit 130 Jahren leckeres Gebäck serviert. Protipp: Achte darauf, dass die Akkus deiner Kamera für den letzten Tag an dieser australischen Küste voll aufgeladen sind
Day 8 Brisbane/K'gari (Fraser Island)
An early rise today starts your journey to K'gari (Fraser Island) World Heritage Area. Upon arrival to the largest sand island in the world, you will go through a traditional welcome by the Butchulla people, setting the tone for what's to come. After the welcome ceremony, get straight into the 4WD adventure. Swim in Boorangoora (Lake Mckenzie), hike beneath the amazing rainforest and walk along the beach during sunset. At night, sit around the campfire with your new found friends
Day 9 K'gari (Fraser Island)/Noosa
Today you'll climb sand dunes, see the Maheno shipwreck and swim in the crystal clear Eli Creek that pumps millions of litres of spring-fed fresh water into the ocean every hour. In the afternoon, say goodbye to K'gari and head to your next beachy destination, Noosa
Day 10 Noosa
Picture rocky coast against perfect turquoise water. Now head out with your CEO and see it first hand. Catch the ferry and start your easy hike in Noosa National Park along the waterways to end up at the secluded beach, Hell's Gate. While it sounds intimidating, it is well worth it, and really quite spectacular. Keep your eye out for koalas along the hike too. Enjoy the afternoon free in Noosa. Opt to get lunch on Hastings Street and enjoy some relaxing beach time or rent a surfboard. Then take the ferry back before dinner
Day 11 Rockhampton/Whitsundays
Enjoy a free day in cute beachfront town of Noosa! Do some shopping along Hasting Street in search of souvenirs, have a coffee on the beach, or go for a surf. Many consider Noosa to be the best place for surfing in all of Australia. You can also choose to spend time back at the hostel or participate in some of the optional activities offered in the area. In the afternoon, we'll pack our bags and head to the train station. Tonight we sleep on an overnight train as we head north to some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Fall asleep in Noosa and wake up by the Whitsundays!
Day 12 Whitsundays
Hop off the train and board a bus for a short ride to Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier reef. After dropping your bags, do your thing in Airlie Beach. Relax on a gorgeous beach, take a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef or get some shopping in on the town. Airlie Beach is your oyster
Day 13 Whitsundays/Airlie Beach
Get ready for an amazing day at sea! Today, we'll climb aboard an ocean raft and zoom around the wispy turquoise waters. With time to snorkel, go on bushwalks, and chill on the beach, today will be as close to perfect as one can get
Day 14 Airlie Beach/Cairns
With an early morning departure, admire the scenery on the bus ride north to Cairns. We'll make a few pit stops along the way to stretch your legs, see some sights and check out some of Australia big things!
Day 15 Cairns
Cairns is quite the place to visit if you love warm weather (it would be headline news for the city’s temperature to drop much below 20°C (68°F)) and want to visit the Great Barrier Reef. Take advantage of a free day to book one of the many optional activities that will get you out in nature’s playground. Snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, get that adrenaline pumping by whitewater rafting or skydiving and cap it all off on a Big Night Out in Cairns with your fellow travellers. Drinks all around are well deserved after spending the day escaping your comfort zones
Day 16 Cairns
