“I took part in the first travel buddies trip in 2024 and I couldn’t recommend it enough, it was by far the best month of my life as I was able to make such amazing friends while experiencing things I would never have thought to do alone. It was so stress free, having activities booked most days therefore we could just go with the flow. It went by so quickly but I would do it again without a doubt.”

“The travel buddies tour was definitely the best way to travel the east coast. Creating memories with people all the way which will stick with me for life. I’ve created friends that I will forever remember. The activities and guidance that was sorted for me throughout my trip helped me to enjoy it more and to not stress about my next step. Overall thank you so much travel buddies for the trip of a lifetime.”

“This tour was absolutely amazing! I had so much fun and did way more than I would have if I was left to book/discover things at every place. Traveling with a group made it so much better as you had people to experience memories and laugh with along the way. It was the best decision I ever made to do this trip and I now have lifelong friends from all around the world.”

“The 32 day tour was worth every penny, the balance of exploring and chill time was spot on. Sailing in the Whitsundays was my favourite, and the sunsets were incredible. I met awesome people, and we shared laughs and unforgettable memories. If you’re considering an Australia tour, I highly recommend this trip for the best East Coast experience! Thank you Travel Buddies!”

“Great way to do the east coast. You are always in a group, there is always someone to do something with, but you can always take your time alone. You still meet lots of new amazing people. The activities are just amazing, apart from the typical east coast activities there were some special things such as the stop in Mackay. I would definitely recommend doing the Travel Buddies tour.”
Magnus, 20
Berlin, GER
“Travel Buddies covers SO much of the action on the East Coast it truly exceeds its value for money. The activities are top tier in each location and are balanced well with free days to relax and recover. Having the stress of organisation / planning made all the difference in being able to enjoy the backpacking experience and focus on making connections and seeing as much as possible. The Travel Buddies team are faultless across the board so kudos to all!”
