Best experience of my entire life I wish I could restart the trip over and over again to experience it again. I met so many lovely people along the way and friends that I could have never imagined and none of that wouldve been possible without Lauren SPECIFICALLY as the CEO!! Thank you with my whole heart Lauren and G Adventures

The tour was amazing, met some stand out people and saw so much in such a short space of time! It gave a really good overview of the east coast whilst doing fun activities and educating us about the native people of the lands along the way! Loved every minute and will be doing another one for sure! Hope my next tour guide fills Lozza C’s boots!

Get ready to uncover Queensland's many wonders. From the pure sands of Whitehaven Beach, there's so much laid-back beauty in this part of Australia. And that's before you head to Magnetic Island, taking epic coastal walks and spotting Rock Wallabies at dusk, then ending on a high with an expedition to the Great Barrier Reef itself.

Absolutely amazing guides. Lots of options for free time including free activities in the area. I loved the group chat and photo circle. Having a daily text to tell you times and plan for the next day worked really well. Would highly recommend but budget for the optional activities because they were amazing

Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!
