About the tour

Discover the ultimate adventure on Australia’s East Coast with Travel Buddies Southbound from Cairns to Sydney. This 32 day semi-guided tour is designed for backpackers seeking freedom, exploration, new friends, and unforgettable experiences without the handholding of a fully guided tour. Starting in Cairns, this small-group adventure hits Australia’s iconic highlights and hidden gems while letting you explore at your own pace.

With just 12 spots, you’ll travel with other adventurous souls in a small and social group setting. Local Travel Buddies Reps will meet you at key points in Cairns, Airlie Beach, Byron Bay, and Sydney to provide support, ensuring you have everything you need – without any babysitting. We’ve got your accommodation, transport, activities, and even 22 meals covered, so you can focus on living the adventure.

Travelling south, you’ll tick off bucket-list experiences like discovering Australia’s native wildlife on Magnetic Island, sailing through the Whitsundays, and taking a scenic flight over the famous Heart Reef. Hang out with kangaroos at sunrise, Arrawarra Beach Camp, and explore K’gari (Fraser Island) in a 4WD.
