East Coast Packages

All-in-one travel packages that take the stress out of planning your Australian east coast adventure. Pick a duration, grab your backpack, and let us handle the rest.

What Every Package Includes

Every east coast package bundles the essentials so you can focus on the experience rather than the logistics. Your price covers multi-share accommodation at hand-picked hostels, a flexible Greyhound bus pass for travel between major stops along the coast, curated tours and activities at each destination, airport transfers at your start and finish cities, and the guidance of our local travel coordinators who are available around the clock. All you need to add is your flights, meals, and spending money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my stay at any stop along the route?

Absolutely. Every package uses a flexible Greyhound hop-on hop-off pass, so you are free to stay longer at any destination and catch the next available bus when you are ready to move on. Just let our coordinators know and they will adjust your accommodation bookings accordingly at no extra planning fee.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my dates?

We understand plans change. Cancellations made more than 30 days before your start date receive a full refund minus a small administration fee. Changes to departure dates can usually be accommodated free of charge if requested at least 14 days in advance. Reach out to our team via the contact page and we will sort it out.

Are meals included in the package price?

Meals are not included in the base price so you have complete freedom to eat where and what you like. Most hostels on the route have fully equipped kitchens, and our digital itinerary includes budget-friendly restaurant recommendations at every stop. Some tours do include lunch or snacks, and these are noted in your booking confirmation.
