What people love about touring Australia solo
- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
This was the first time I had done a tour like this and it was an amazing experience. We packed a lot in, so it was both exhausting and inspiring! The tour guides were really professional and very capable. I appreciated their ability to adapt to changes and personal circumstances. Thank you!
- 6 Day Perth to Exmouth Coral Coaster One Way Adventure
I had a wonderful time with fantastic people! Saw mostly everything we could up the coast, meals were good, accomodations (shared room option for me) were reasonable. The bus was comfortable, however I'm a small person & activities on offer were enjoyable. Massive shout-out to our Awesome Tour Guide Rhett, who was asked to fill in for the usual guy. It was Rhett's first Perth to Exmouth tour after driving 6 days from Gold Coast to Perth to then drive 23 people up to Exmouth, giving us really interesting information, and managing to entertain also. Not to mention the brilliant driving! To make it even more difficult for Rhett, we all had different iteneries (from booking through different companies) & some changes were made, so we wouldn't miss any of the highlights. All round, I would recommend this trip for people traveling on their own, that don't want to do the drive themselves. It does work out cheaper for us solo traveling.
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."
