About this trip
Eight days up Australia's East Coast, from Sydney's harbour and beaches through the wetlands of the Noosa Everglades to the surf town of Byron Bay.
You get a mix of city energy and quieter nature — a sunset cruise and Bondi in Sydney, then a night at an eco lodge surrounded by birdsong before you're back on the sand learning to surf.
Ends at the most easterly point of the Australian mainland, which is as good a place as any to finish a trip that covers this much ground in a week.
What you'll do
- Sunset cruise on Sydney Harbour
- Time at Bondi Beach
- Stay at the Special Stay Everglades Eco Lodge in the Noosa Everglades
- Surf lesson in Byron Bay
- Visit the most easterly point of mainland Australia
- Fast-paced — you cover Sydney to Byron Bay with a Noosa Everglades stop in just 8 days
- Good fit if you want a taste of both city sights and coastal nature rather than settling into one place
