Tour overview

Begin your east coast adventure on the sunny Gold Coast and soak up the vibrant, bustling atmosphere. Enjoy a spectacular sunrise hot air balloon ride, and then decide whether to beachcomb or thrill-seek at one of the famous theme parks. Travel south to the uber-cool Byron Bay and try sea kayaking for a splash of fun. A night at Emerald Beach in Coffs Harbour will provide even more time to indulge in the relaxed beach culture of the east coast before continuing on through Newcastle, to reach the epic city of Sydney. Take in the harbour sights on a lunch cruise, and perhaps visit Taronga Zoo at sundown as many of its residents enjoy their dinner, and you farewell your final Australian sunset.

The Gold Coast is home to long sandy beaches, world-class surfing and an extensive system of waterways which make this destination unique. Located an hour south of Brisbane, it boasts an incredible shopping scene and is home to an array of theme parks, earning the name, the adrenaline capital of Australia. There is plenty of opportunity to encounter native Australian animals at the many wildlife parks or close-by hinterland. The Gold Coast's night scene is unrivalled, with plenty to taste and discover when the sun goes down.
