Itinerary

Day one – Arrival in Sydney and the start of your adventure of a lifetime

As you come in to land at Sydney Airport you can gaze in awe as you see the iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House for the first time. Your excitement levels will go through the roof as you think about the possibilities and excitement that await you in this vibrant city! To help you get over the dreaded jetlag we have organized a fantastic four night Wake Up Arrival Pack, where you can settle in straight away at one of the coolest hostels in Sydney, right in the heart of the backpacker district – think comfy beds, a hearty Aussie breakfast each morning, wild nights out with new friends and all the essentials you need, such as internet access and mobile sim card. You don’t need to worry about a thing!

Days two, three and four– When the fun really begins!

One of the highlights of this part of the trip is the city orientation tour, followed by a big backpacker night out, so make sure that you don’t have that first hangover before then, especially when an adrenaline-fuelled jet boat ride is included! With three full days to explore the city you can take in all of the main sights and with friendly, knowledgeable guides showing you the way you’re sure to get all the best local tips. Stroll around the many colourful markets, people-watch on famous Bondi Beach and visit the gorgeous little islands scattered around Port Jackson. When it comes to the pub and club crawl, the team at Oz Party could probably set a world record for the most amount of fun to be had in one night and given that it’s highly likely to be very late and very loud the last stop is the hostel’s Side Bar, so you don’t have far to crawl to bed.

Day five to nine – Goodbye Sydney, Hello Surf

By now jetlag should be a distant memory, but after four action-packed days and nights in Sydney you’ll probably be glad to have a break from the big city lights and lie on a gorgeous beach instead. Well, tough luck because you’re going surfing!

ou’ll be picked up right outside the Wake Up Hostel to embark on an amazing five day “surfari”, taking in two stunning locations on the east coast, where you can learn to catch the perfect wave by day and party by night – two typical Aussie pastimes. Thanks to the all-inclusive style of the trip the only thing you need to bring is yourself – all surf equipment, accommodation and meals (except lunch on travelling days) is included. We even throw in that all important sun cream. By the time you arrive at Crescent Head, your first stop, you’ll already have got to know your new mates on the coach, but if you are a bit shy don’t worry as there is no better icebreaker than beers and BBQ’s, not to mention falling off a surfboard!

Stop two on the surfari takes you to Spot X, where you can enjoy the best beach parties and improve on your surf skills from the first couple of days. The expert instructors will really look after you, so there is no need to be nervous – just get in there and make the most of this amazing opportunity.

We guarantee that by the end of these five days you’ll be a surf convert and what better way to impress (and annoy) your mates back in cold Blighty? The tour ends in the cool beachside town of Byron Bay, where you can continue straight on with the next part of the tour, or take some time out to lounge on the beach, go snorkeling and explore the rainforests.
