What people love about touring Australia/Oceania solo
The 'out of city' sector of the 8 day tour was excellent. Town/city tour guides left a little to be desired..Not entertaining in the least.. Just glad we had a great guide in James and an exceptional and diverse group of travellers who got along extremely well
Super 7 - Seven Day Tour of Tasmania
- Famous 5 - 5 day Tour of Tasmania
Chris was very friendly and knows lots about Tasmania! The tour provided a festive Christmas dinner for us. Went to beautiful sights and did some stunning hikes. We weren’t able to get food a lot of the days because it was christmas but I liked this because we had more time at some of our stops- a couple of times I felt like we were only dropped somewhere long enough to take a photo and leave and would have liked a bit more time. Overall a good trip!
- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
The tour was amazing. Loved it. I wish the tour was couple of days longer so that we could spend more time on beautiful locations.

The East Coast of Australia and New Zealand's South Island stand out as natural choices for solo travelers with their well-developed tourist facilities and social atmosphere. You'll find convenient public transport and group activities in major hubs like Sydney Auckland and Cairns. These regions make it easy to navigate and connect with other travelers. A TourRadar reviewer of the Sydney to Brisbane tour shares: "There was big age gap but we all really enjoyed every minute. The guide made even long driving journeys light and fast." The Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef areas draw many solo travelers with organized group activities from snorkeling to sailing trips.
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo traveler on Australia/Oceania tours?
Meeting people happens naturally on guided tours across Australia and Oceania where solo travelers often make up the majority of groups. G Adventures reports that 73% of guests on their "Best of Australia" tour travel alone. Their tours build in social time through shared experiences like surf lessons in Byron Bay and group meals. A past TourRadar guest notes: "First time travelling alone and it was fantastic. The guide provides a lot of information and made the whole experience really brilliant." Many properties like the Holiday Inn Potts Point in Sydney offer common spaces where travelers can easily connect. Traditional experiences such as Maori hangi dinners create natural settings for conversation.
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Australia/Oceania tours?
Most tours provide a mix of 3-4 star hotels and local accommodations. The Kangaroo Island Adventure puts guests in boutique spots like the Pelicans Nest Hotel while East Coast routes feature central city hotels such as the Holiday Inn Potts Point Sydney. According to one TourRadar review: "The hotels provided were quite good and in some cases the upgrades were a welcome addition." You can choose between sharing a twin room with another solo traveler or paying extra for a private room.
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Australia/Oceania?
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer the best balance of pleasant weather and manageable crowd levels. TourRadar booking data shows these shoulder seasons are especially popular for Sydney to Cairns routes. For the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef June through September brings the clearest water visibility and comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities.
How much additional spending money should solo travelers budget for beyond the tour price?
Plan for USD 50-100 per day beyond the tour cost to cover extra meals optional activities and personal expenses. While tours often include breakfast and some other meals dinner times typically allow for exploring local dining spots. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The guide was very helpful in recommending local places to eat and things to do during free time." Set aside additional funds for special experiences like diving the Great Barrier Reef (USD 200-300) or climbing the Sydney Bridge (USD 200-400).
How much free time do solo travelers typically get on Australia/Oceania tours?
Tours mix guided experiences with independent exploration time. The Best of Australia tour includes full free days in key locations like Sydney and Byron Bay.

Many itineraries spend 2-3 nights in popular spots like Queenstown or Cairns giving you time to try optional activities or relax at places like the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort.
