Itinerary
Surf, sun, and city lights—Australia: City to Surf is a whirlwind eight-day trip made for young adults who want to experience the East Coast’s iconic highlights. Start in Sydney, catch a sunset cruise on the famous harbor, and soak up the bohemian vibes of Byron Bay. Bondi Beach calls for lazy afternoons or a lesson in surfing, while the Noosa Everglades offers a brush with wilderness and a night at a unique eco-lodge.
Wake up to birdsong, bask at the continent’s easternmost point, and savor the blend of urban excitement and laid-back beach culture. With transport, accommodation, and meals included, this tour package delivers a seamless blend of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable Australian moments.
The USP? A perfect balance of coastal hotspots and off-the-beaten-path wilderness, all within an action-packed week.
day 1 - Sydney
Welcome to Sydney (Warrane)! Meet up with your brand new travel family and hit the road and head on a day trip to one of Australia's finest: the majestic Blue Mountains (which aren't actually blue, but are still beautiful all the same). Out here in the great Aussie Outdoors we'll be learning about the legends behind the famous Three Sisters rock formation as well as exploring the Jamison Ridge area. We'll head back to the city and the evening is yours to make the most of.
Location Visited:Sydney
Accommodation:Wake Up (or similar)
day 2 - Sydney
This morning set out to explore this sun-drenched, cosmopolitan and eternally cool city. Your Trip Manager will give you the low down on all of the best bits as you get a tour of the highlights. Check out the Opera House, catch the ferry to Watsons Bay to experience the iconic skyline from a different perspective, then venture over to Bondi Beach where you can spend the afternoon lazing about in the sunshine. If you've got a head for heights, an optional Harbour Bridge climb is the best way to see that iconic harbour.
Meals:Breakfast
Location Visited:Sydney
Accommodation:Wake Up (or similar)
day 3 - Sydney
A full free day to spend just how you like? Yep! Water lovers can opt for a jetboat across the Harbour. And sky lovers can opt for an epic skydiving experience. But if staying on land is your thing, Sydney's beautiful sights are equally as exciting.
Meals:Breakfast

Accommodation:Wake Up (or similar)
day 4 - Sydney to Byron Bay
With satisfaction levels at a high this morning we jump on a plane to Byron Bay where all your hippie dreams can come to life. Landing in Byron Bay (Cavvanbah), we'll drop off our bags at the accommodation and start as we mean to go on, heading straight to the beach. Here we'll unleash our secret talent for surfing with an included lesson. You'll be a pro in no time!
Location Visited:Sydney, Byron Bay
Accommodation:Wake Up (or similar)
day 5 - Byron Bay
We'll continue the surf vibes today with the option to kickstart our morning with sunrise at Australia's most easterly point. Then you have the rest of the day free to explore like a local. With the afternoon stretched out ahead of you, there's kayaking, relaxing on the beach and an evening bike tour to see glow worms in their natural habitat all on offer - your time here will be nothing short of magic.
Location Visited:Byron Bay
Accommodation:Wake Up (or similar)
day 6 - Byron Bay to Noosa Everglades
It's time to wave goodbye to Byron Bay and head up the coast to Noosa Everglades. But first, why not opt for early morning yoga? Relaxed from our time at the beach, we'll head to our next destination, the Noosa Everglades. Here we'll unpack at our Special Stay Eco Lodge home for the next two nights and relax with a group dinner in the bistro & bar area, surrounded by the chatter and rustling of local birds and kangaroos.
Wake up to the sound of birds chirping at our Eco Camp this morning (you might even spot a kangaroo) and grab a quick brekkie before heading out for a day on K'Gari. Your spirits will be at an all-time high after this day full of sand dunes, scenic lakes and dense rainforests. We'll cruise along the world's longest sand highway before you appease your hunger with a tasty lunch. It's back to the Eco Camp this evening for our final night here. You have free time to tuck into some food at the bistro, sample the offerings at the CootharaBAR boutique brewery, or just relax and enjoy the lush surroundings of this beautiful protected National Park.
It's your final day but what better way to say goodbye to The Glades than with an optional Canoeing Excursion on one of only two Everglades in the world! Swap social deets in Brisbane (Meeanjin) and make plans for future adventures. Where will we go together next?
Super fun trip, great mix of activities. Super organized trip manager! Loved the bike ride!
