Day 1: Melbourne to Port Campbell (Great Ocean Road)
Welcome to your Australia trip – meet your travel buddies and hit the road. If you've ever seen a car commercial, chances are you've seen the Great Ocean Road. With mere metres between road and water, hairpin bends and epic views out every window, today you'll join the list of five million people to do this road-of-passage each year.

More than just a place to get geology goosebumps, you'll be standing on sacred ground, with 80% of Victoria's Aboriginal rock art on show. Meet the traditional land owners, whose ancestors were scratching and dabbing their Dreamtime stories onto rock long before the Pyramids of Egypt were conceived. Then paint your own story onto a boomerang. Dinner with the crew tonight.
Included today:
- Paint your own souvenir boomerang
- National Park entry
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 3: Grampians to Mt Gambier
Next up: MacKenzie Falls, the largest waterfall in Victoria. It's no Niagara, but flowing water is guaranteed year-round – a rare promise in a country that's 40% desert. Then, the Northern Grampians for one last panorama shot where #natureporn trends with views to Mount Williams, the highest peak in the park and third-highest mountain in Victoria.

Before kicking on to Adelaide, check out the Blue Lake (depending on what time of the year you visit, the lake changes colour) and the Umpherston Sinkhole. Because no South Australian voyage is complete without wine, we get to concoct our own potion as we stop at Wynn’s Coonawarra vineyard. Chin chin!

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Opals. 75% of the world's opals come from here. We’ll take a mine tour to check it out.

We're hitting the red ground running as we take to the road and head into Yulara (the gateway resort to Uluru) for lunch.

Leave the bus and board your own private yacht for our overnight sailing trip in the beautiful Whitsunday Islands.

Day 18: Cairns to Magnetic Island
Hard as it will be to leave, our time in Cairns has come to an end. Today we head south to explore the natural and wildlife wonders of Magnetic Island. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare and endangered cassowary bird on our morning drive, and then it’s a quick ferry trip before you have the afternoon to explore this amazing piece of paradise.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Optional activities:
- Cuddle a koala
Day 19: Magnetic Island to Whitsunday Sailing
Get stuck into a private tour of the local wildlife park, where you can kiss a baby crocodile, smooch a blue tongue lizard and even cuddle a koala (koala cuddle and photo optional). Grab yourself a mango smoothie before a visit to the biggest Mango of them all. Feeling like you need more air in your hair? Leave the bus and board your own private yacht for our overnight sailing trip in the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. Normally a toy for the rich and famous, today the yacht is all yours to learn the ropes while sailing in paradise. More of a land-lover? Take the diva option and let the crew do the work whilst you feast, swim and snorkel.
Please note: We ask that you pack a small overnight bag to take onboard with you as space on the overnight sailing is limited. Pack items like swimmers, beach towel, chargers, hat, sunscreen, camera, jacket, toiletries, sandals/flip flops and casual clothes for two days.

- Overnight sailing in the Whitsunday Islands
- Visit the Big Mango
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 20: Whitsunday Sailing to Airlie Beach
Wake up to pure paradise in one of the many sheltered coves that make up the Whitsundays. Today we’ll set sail for golden sandy beaches, snorkel over coral reefs and soak up the sun. A visit to the famous blinding white sands of Whitehaven Beach and a local snorkel reef will also be an option if the weather behaves (fingers crossed!). If you’re a budding captain, you can even help set the sails and take the helm whilst further exploring the islands. Later this afternoon, set course for our return to land where we’ll spend the night in Airlie Beach. Read: pool, shower, dinner, dancing – all in that order!

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 24: Fraser Island
Fraser is literally one huge pile of sand – as if someone dropped the Sahara Desert into the Pacific Ocean and scattered it with dingoes and rainforests. Four-wheel-drive along the beach highway to mingle with the Pinnacles Coloured Sands (considered a place of good luck for the Indigenous Butchulla women), Eli Creek and the Maheno Shipwreck before hitting the crystal clear waters of Lake McKenzie and its famous smooth silica sand.

Day 26: Brisbane to Byron Bay
Today, we’ve got some awesome optionals for you to get involved in. What’s it going to be? Theme parks, maybe a skywalk, or a chill session in the famous beach strip?

Anti-McDonald's and anti-anything mass produced (but pro juice bars, beer gardens and beards), Byron’s got that small-town vibe down. Hit the shops, or opt in to paddle a sea kayak with the dolphins, take a surfing lesson or watch whales breach from the lighthouse in winter. This is the town where peace and tranquillity go to relax. You should too. Or jump out of a plane (optional). Byron doesn't care as long as you're happy.

TOURSTIL:
Diese Australien Rundreise hat nichts mit den traditionell geführten Busreisen zu tun, wo der Reiseleiter die Reisenden wie eine Herde Schafe von Sehenswürdigkeit zu Sehenswürdigkeit herumscheucht. Unsere Reisen für Junge Leute machen Spass, sind individuell, kreativ, jung und flexibel. Wir glauben, dass wir die unterschiedlichsten Erwartungen erfüllen können. Und auch wenn ihr bei uns die angenehmen und praktischen Vorzüge einer organisierten Busreise genießt, habt ihr immer und überall genug Zeit und Möglichkeit, jeden Ort so individuell zu genießen und zu erleben, wie ihr es euch vorstellt. Unser freundliches und entspanntes Team freut sich schon darauf, euch das Beste dessen zu zeigen, was die besuchte Region zu bieten hat.
FREIZEIT:
Wir wissen, dass jede/r Einzelne andere Erwartungen an eine Reise stellt. Daher ist es für uns besonders wichtig, euch immer und überall genug Zeit und Raum zu geben, die Destinationen genau so zu erleben, wie ihr es wollt. Indem wir euch so viel Freizeit wie möglich geben, könnt ihr eure Reise nach euren Vorstellungen und Vorlieben gestalten - ob ihr nun Museen oder Märkte besucht, am Strand surfen gehen, mit einem Bungeeseil in die Tiefe stürzt oder einen Koala knuddeln wollt, alles ist möglich!
ENTSPANNTES REISEN:
Mal ehrlich: Wer schleppt schon gerne sein schweres Reisegepäck durch Bahnhöfe und über Bussteige? Oder wie wäre es mit dem langen Fußweg vom Bahnhof zum Hostel in 35 Grad Hitze? Keine Freiwilligen? Das haben wir uns gedacht :-)) Bei dieser Tour nehmen wir euch diese Last ab, damit ihr euch den angenehmen Seiten des Reisens widmen könnt.
REISEGEFÄHRTEN:
Das Beste an einer Gruppenreise ist die Möglichkeit, eure Reiseerlebnisse mit Gleichgesinnten zu teilen. Alle Tourteilnehmer sind zwischen 18 und irgendwas in ihren 30ern, und somit seid ihr umgeben von Leuten, die schon bald eure Freunde sein können und die alle das gleiche Ziel haben - den besten Urlaub aller Zeiten zu erleben. Mit anderen zusammen macht alles einfach mehr Spaß. Und was ist, wenn ihr alleine an Bord kommt? Kein Problem, mehr als die Hälfte unserer Reisenden sind ohne Begleitung unterwegs. Es kostet euch keine Cent mehr, die Reise allein anzutreten. Ihr werdet sehen - am Ende der Tour habt ihr viele neue Freunde!
FREE WI-FI:
Ihr könnt während der Fahrt im Reisebus Eure E-Mails checken und auf Facebook und Twitter posten, denn die Fahrzeuge sind mit WI-FI ausgestattet. WI-FI ist verfügbar während der Fahrten in Neuseeland und in Australien in den Regionen Queensland, New South Wales, Süd-Australien und Victoria (nicht verfügbar im Northern Territory, in Tasmanien, auf Tagesausflügen und Stopovers). WI-FI ist abhängig von der örltichen Signalverfügbarkeit.
KOMBIREISE:
Diese Tour setzt sich aus verschiedenen Tourabschnitten zusammen, daher können sich die Gruppenzusammensetzung und Reiseleitung während der Tour ändern.

Diese Australien Abenteuerreise ist auch in umgekehrter Richtung buchbar:
