- Days 1-2
Sydney & Byron Bay
Get to the Opera House by 8 AM to beat the crowds. After taking in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, make your way north to Byron Bay. A recent visitor shared: "The coastal walking track to Cape Byron Lighthouse offered incredible whale watching spots - bring binoculars if visiting May-November."

- Days 5-6
Brisbane & Australia Zoo
Check out South Bank's artificial beach and cultural spots. Get to Australia Zoo by 9 AM for the first shows. A visitor tip: "The Irwin Animal Hospital's live surgeries were fascinating - try to time your visit between 11 AM-2 PM when most procedures happen."
- Days 7-9
Rainbow Beach & Fraser Island
Start at Rainbow Beach before your Fraser Island 4WD adventure. Bring waterproof bags for your electronics since rain can come quickly. Drive the famous 75 Mile Beach at low tide and head to Indian Head lookout early for the best views.
- Days 10-13
Airlie Beach & Whitsundays
Take the overnight bus to Airlie Beach. Spend time at the lagoon before a 2-night Whitsundays sailing trip. A traveler tip: "Book a front cabin if prone to seasickness - they're more stable. And bring a waterproof camera for Whitehaven Beach."
- Days 14-21
Cairns & Great Barrier Reef
Your week in Cairns is full of options. Book early morning reef trips for calmer waters. You can also try white water rafting on the Tully River or go skydiving but book these early during peak season (June-August). The Cairns Lagoon is perfect between activities.

- Days 1-2
Perth & Southwest
Start your journey in Perth at Kings Park and the Swan River. On Day 2, visit Yanchep National Park for Aboriginal cultural experiences. One traveler shared: "The Aboriginal cultural experience at Yanchep was incredibly authentic - learning to play the didgeridoo was harder than it looks!" Head north to see the Pinnacles Desert and Geraldton.
- Days 3-5
Shark Bay & Monkey Mia
Visit Kalbarri National Park's gorges on your way to Monkey Mia. Plan for morning dolphin feeding between 7:30-8:00 AM.

- Days 11-13
Broome & Cable Beach
Take time to explore Broome's pearl history and beach sunsets. One visitor noted: "Don't miss the 'Staircase to the Moon' natural phenomenon if you're here during full moon - the reflection on the tidal flats is magical." Book a morning camel ride on Cable Beach before the sand heats up.
- Days 14-17

What people love about 3-week Australia tours
- East Coast Highlights - 3 Week | ULTIMATE
I had an amazing time on the tour!
- Oz East Coast Adventure 20 days
I had such an amazing experience! The organisation, trips and people were incredible. Met the best group of people who are now friends for life, Val our tour leader brought us all together so well and always kept us entertained and on schedule.
- Oz East Coast + Work 20 Days
I absolutely loved my tour up the east coast of Australia with my group leader Shannon, I had a very highly enjoyable three weeks and got to appreciate an awful lot of incredible experiences and trips. I found the itinerary for the tour was perfectly tailored to all the stops and I got to do lots of things I wouldn't have been able to do outside of a tour setting and things I wouldn't have thought to do, all enhanced by the group setting and nature of being on an organised tour. I found I had sufficient information at the beginning of the tour to join, although I would have liked to know in advance of the day before that I was joining an existing tour where a large group of people had already had 8 days to get to know each other, as that was a very confronting and slightly stressful realisation. I also found that the information provided and support for the tour itself, in terms of the organisation through a group leader, was well managed and effective. My leader, Shannon, was absolutely outstanding and went more than above and beyond for every individual on the tour from the moment it started until well after it had finished, she is a credit to Intro and exceptionally capable in her role. I would recommend the experience overall in a a heart beat as a direct result of the work she put in and the atmosphere she cultivated, as well as the support and care she provided throughout; she deserves recognition and a raise.
