What people love about touring Australia solo
Truly excellent! This has been by far the best tour I have had in my 'touring' life. The entire tour covered the highlights in spite of bush fires. I love nature and it has incredibly awed me to experience the wonders of Tasmania. Justin was also awesome in every way, he embodied the true meaning of a guide, taking care of all of us in all 5 days from giving suggestions to enumerating options, giving pros and cons of these options, telling interesting stories, providing tons of information about this and that, and to sharing jokes among others. It was a delightfully amazing trip! Thank you so much Under Down Under tours! I would definitely recommend you to my friends! ☺ My least favorite though would be the accommodation during our last night. It was really crowded and no space to move around. Other than that, everything was really great.
Famous 5 - 5 day Tour of Tasmania
- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
Itinerary was great. Eaccomodation at Exmouth was horrible -10 persons in a 15×15feet room with 1 ensuite washroom. Quite cost cutting in meals done by Autopia.
Everything was well organised and great value for money. Also the group size was perfect.

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."
