Australia Tours with StudentUniverse

Australia is the ultimate backpacker destination, a vast and varied continent of unbelievable landscapes and natural sights, iconic wildlife, vibrant cities, and some of the best beaches in the world. It’s also HUGE. That’s why we think tours of Australia are the best way to go, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the ride safe in the knowledge you won’t miss any of the incredible things to see here. There’s no such thing as typical Australia tours: you might cruise the fabled east coast from Cairns to Sydney via the Great Barrier Reef, sail around the stunning Whitsunday Islands, or explore the natural wonders of the Northern Territory before delving deep into the forbidding red centre to visit sacred Uluru. However you tour Australia, it’s guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience.

Types of Australia Tours

East Coast Australia Tours

Australia’s east coast is backpacking heaven, and it’s easy to see why: Sydney is one of the greatest cities in the world, and the tour from there to Cairns takes in the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, the Whitsunday Islands, and so much more along the way. If you don’t know where to start on your Aussie adventure, the east coast is it!

Active Tours

If you can’t think of anything more boring than spending a holiday lounging in a deck chair, an active tour of Australia is probably right for you. You’ll spend the time in your choice of beautiful Aussie destinations, exploring the vast outback, driving 4x4s on Fraser Island, or discovering the wildlife and natural wonders of Kakadu National Park. Make sure you bring hiking boots!

Discovery Adventures

Australia is home to some of the most jaw-dropping natural and cultural sites in the world, and these tours pack in as many as you can handle within a given area. More than scenic tours of Australia, they’ll take you to sacred indigenous locations that offer a glimpse of the country’s long history and geological marvels that’ll challenge your perceptions of our planet (as well as look great on Instagram).

National Geographic Journeys

Curated by National Geographic, these tours take you to the very best of Australia’s destinations, offering a true celebration of why this rich and varied country is one of the most popular in the world for student travellers.
