What people love about touring Australia solo
Despite Tasmania being on fire, our trip was really affected. The only thing we could not do was the Montezuma Falls walk but we ended up at the Henty sand dunes instead (still a good activity and something to learn about). There's quite a bit of driving a few of the days so you get to see a lot of the countryside and small towns. I wish we had stopped or did some more walks at different mountains along the way - those activities really break up the driving. However, the ones we did do are absolutely beautiful. I'd highly recommend going to the play in Strahan (The Ship That Never Was) - hysterical and entertaining! We had a really great group of people which really added to the trip! Our evenings, meals, and our last night in Hobart were some really great times.
Famous 5 - 5 day Tour of Tasmania
- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
My friend and I had an excellent time on this tour. It is a fantastic way to get to see the north coast of WA without having to worry about driving the 100 kilometres yourself. There were some fantastic stops along the way, where you got to see the highlights of what Western Australia has to offer. For the price, you definitely get a bang for your buck. What made the tour even more special are the fantastic people you get to travel with and in our case one of the best tour guides you can ask for. Linda is an expert in her field with a life time of tour guidance experience in Aus and all over the world. She is knowledgeable and so hospitable, always making sure you are comfortable, having a great time and can answer any obscure question you may have along the journey. She is honestly a walking encyclopaedia, chef extraordinaire, chauffeur and all around great mate. Linda constantly goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone has a great time, including customers that may be a little hard to deal with. I can not recommend her more! Just a few side notes: - This is a hostel trip, they are good hostels but definitely don’t have all the bells and whistles of a hotel. - There is a lot of driving in this trip so be ready. It would be great to make the trip 8-10 days so there was a chance to stop a few more times a long the way. - It would be cool to add a few more optional extras like 4 wheel driving on sand dunes or star gazing at the pinnacles (just a thought). I would definitely travel with Autopia and Linda again.
The ultimate 8 was absolutely amazing, and up there as one of the best tours I've ever done anywhere in the world (and I have been on around 15group tours). The tour was very organized and fast paced, be prepared for early starts every day in order to make the most of the jam-packed itinerary. You truly see the best of Tasi, the incredible scenery and variety of nature is unbelievable. James is the best tour guide I've had, he was extremely knowledgeable, flexible and I felt very safe with his great driving skills. The majority of passengers on my tour did the 5day portion, but value wise it is worth upgrading to the 8 days to have Bruny Island, Port Arthur,Mona and Mount Wellington all taken care of too. Highly recommend,could not fault this company,thank you for an amazing trip I will never forget!
Super 7 - Seven Day Tour of Tasmania
What our customers ask about Australia Tours for Solo Travelers
What are the best regions in Australia for solo guided tours?
The East Coast and Red Centre draw many solo travelers each year. From Brisbane to Cairns the East Coast route lets you meet others at places like Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands. The Red Centre near Uluru helps you connect with Aboriginal culture and fellow travelers. Places to stay like Flynn Hotel Cairns and the semi-permanent camps at Kings Canyon make it easy to meet people. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The tour met all my expectations and more with fellow travelers making the experience wonderfully enjoyable."
What is the typical ratio of solo travelers on guided tours in Australia?
Most Australia tours see between 70-87% solo travelers. The Sydney to Brisbane Adventure stands out with 87% of bookings coming from people traveling alone creating a friendly social setting. A TourRadar traveler shared: "From day one I was able to see sights and take part in experiences of a lifetime... Having this trip be suited for all ages I learned so much about other people's lives and own travel stories."
How do accommodation arrangements work for solo travelers on Australian tours?
You'll usually share a twin room at hotels like Holiday Inn Potts Point in Sydney or Potshot Hotel Resort in Exmouth. Want your own space? Single rooms are available on most tours for an extra cost. During camping segments like at Kings Creek Station near Uluru you'll likely share a tent with another traveler of your gender. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The shared accommodation was in mixed dorms which was absolutely fine all had comfortable beds hot water & AC."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to join Australian tours?
Each region has its peak times. The Red Centre gets busy from April through June when temperatures are mild. East Coast tours run year-round but see more travelers from July to December. Some tours like the Perth to Exmouth Explorer welcome visitors throughout the year with a slight uptick from October through December. These patterns affect both the group mix and available activities.
What activities help solo travelers connect with others in the group?
Group activities bring people together naturally. You'll meet others while snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef seeing wildlife at places like Wildlife Wonders in Apollo Bay or sharing meals. As one TourRadar traveler said: "The group activities like the Whitsundays cruise and K'gari (Fraser Island) 4WD tour were perfect for getting to know fellow travelers while experiencing amazing destinations together."
How much free time do solo travelers get on Australian tours?
Tours mix guided activities with time to explore on your own. In Byron Bay you might go kayaking with the group in the morning then spend the afternoon at the beach or walking around town. Cairns offers optional activities like bungy jumping or time to relax. A TourRadar traveler noted: "There was a good mix of organized activities and free time to explore on your own or with new friends from the group."
