WHAT TYPE OF CAMPERVAN WILL I BE DRIVING?
You’ll be in a comfortable campervan with everything you need—bed, cooking facilities, fridge, and basic storage. Options may vary slightly depending on availability, but all are road trip-ready.
IS THIS A GUIDED TOUR?
No - this package is not with a set group leader. This is a self-guided road trip. We’ll give you a detailed 21-day itinerary and support, but you’re in the driver’s seat - literally.
WHERE DOES THE PACKAGE START AND FINISH?
The Campervan Roadtrip starts in Sydney and ends in Cairns.
WHO IS THIS TRIP DESIGNED FOR?
This package is ideal for backpackers, couples, friends or solo travellers aged 18 - 35 who want a flexible, budget-friendly adventure.
DO I NEED A SPECIAL DRIVERS LICENSE?
A standard driver’s licence is fine. If your licence isn’t in English, you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well.
ARE THERE ANY EXTRA FEES?
We have done our best to include all fees and charges but there are some key touring components that are required to be paid on arrival whilst on tour.
- Fraser Island Insurance Fee ($30 AUD) - Paid direct on arrival
- Great Barrier Reef Conservation Levy ($20 AUD) Paid direct on arrival
Optional Activity Levies - Whilst on tour, various local activity operators may charge a levy that is to be paid direct on the day your activity takes place. These will be communicated to you when booking any optional activities. A local 'levy' is generally a tax or administration fee.
Food and Drink - No meals or drinks are included in this package so will all need to be budgeted for seperately.
ARE AUSTRALIAN ROADS EASY TO DRIVE ON?
Absolutely. Roads along the East Coast are well-maintained and signed. You’ll be driving on the left-hand side
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO AUSTRALIA?
The great thing is, there is no bad time to travel to Australia! The country is so vast that depending when and where you plan on travelling you're always likely to hit some sun! At certain times of the year there can be tropical storms in some locations across Australia, there can be hot, humid weather and there can be beautiful sunny skies with a cooler breeze. As you'll be travelling such a wide area from South to North you are likely to experience a bit of everything. Please Note - We cannot predict the weather and cannot guarantee perfect days.
CAN I DRIVE WITH A MEDICAL CONDITION
If you have an existing medical condition or disability that may affect your trip or how we deliver our experience, we ask that you inform us in writing at the time of your booking. You may be asked to obtain a medical certificate and if we reasonably feel we are unable to accommodate your particular needs, we reserve the right to decline your booking.
IS TRAVEL INSURANCE REQUIRED?
Yes. It is mandatory that you travel with a comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover the likes of cancellation, personal injury and medical expenses. By making a booking with us, you acknowledge that you have obtained a policy and are covered. You are responsible for reading and understanding the details of the policy that you are taking out. You should book your travel insurance at the time of booking your trip.
CAN YOU HELP ME ORGANISE FLIGHTS & INSURANCE?
We are unable to book flights, but we always recommend using online search engines to research the best available flight routes, prices and times. To ease your experience, we suggest booking via a Travel Agent or directly with your preferred airline.
Travel insurance is required to participate in this tour. We recommend that you find and compare various policies to ensure you have an appropriate level of coverage for you adventure. Not sure where to start? You can find some trusted Travel Insurers here.
HOW MUCH SPENDING MONEY IS RECOMMENDED?
While you are travelling you may wish to participate in additional activities which you will need to budget for. You may wish to eat and drink out, which will require additional budgeting or you may plan to cook and prepare some of your own meals.
As a guide, we recommend you budget an additional $80 - $100AUD per day for spending money. Please note that all travellers are different and you may wish to travel with additional spending money. There are amazing optional activities and food options on offer on the East Coast and if you desire to experience most of them, you may wish to budget for additional spending money.
HOW DO I BOOK?
To book the Campervan Roadtrip Package, select your chosen departure date, enter your details and pay. The booking is then on request until confirmation is sent to you via email once we find you are campervan.
