What people love about touring Australia solo
- Super 7 - Seven Day Tour of Tasmania
I had a really great time doing the Ultimate 8 tour! We had John as our guide for the 3 days in Hobart and he was super knowledgeable about the all the areas we visited. Pick-ups were a bit late on our Port Arthur day (these things happen) so John kindly made up for it by letting us stop by the Tessellated Pavement on the way back to Hobart even though it was not on the itinerary! So after 3 days in Hobart we headed out with Matt to the Western Coast. We had a really good group of people from a range of ages and nationalities. There were some really good hikes on this trip and offering different routes for different levels of fitness was really helpful. Yes, some of the drives can be quite long but Matt kept us entertained with anecdotes etc along the way and I think we were happy enough just chatting and getting to know each other. I highly recommend this tour, the two guides I travelled with were really awesome and you get to visit some of the most beautiful places in Tasmania! What a great start to my 2019 travels!
Jacob was the best tour guide, he was so enthusiastic and fun to hang out with on the trip and went out of his way to make everyone happy on the tour. He was also really knowledgeable about Tasmania and told us many entertaining stories.
Famous 5 - 5 day Tour of Tasmania
- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
The overall experience was amazing. Despite a crazy amount of driving in a short period of time, our tour guide Gus went out of his way to cater to everyone's needs (coffee especially!!). He was also very informative and entertaining for the week. The experience this tour provided was out of this world, from sand boarding to swimming with whale sharks to all of the laughs along the way, I am so grateful to have been able to have met all of these amazing people and to have had this week.
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."
