City Walk & Welcome Dinner
When you arrive in Sydney our rep will be waiting for you at the airport. We’ll direct you to our shuttle bus and you’ll be driven directly to our accommodation at WakeUp. WakeUp is voted the best backpacker hostel in Australia. Everything is pre-arranged so your check-in will be easy. Our week starts with a fun day of city sightseeing where we visit Darling Harbour, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Get to know your new mates! Tonight we visit our favourite party bar for our Welcome Dinner.
Shared dinner & drink included.
Info Session & Sydney Harbour Cruise
At our work and travel information session, we’ll explain everything you need to know about working and travelling in Australia. Then we jump on UltimateOz Catamaran ‘Rockfish’ for a cruise on Sydney Harbour. Spend the day cruising, swimming and chilling on Sydney Harbour!
BBQ lunch included.
UltimateOz Basecamp
Today we head to hidden getaway at UltimateOz Basecamp for 3-days and 2-nights of fun by the beach. Located north of Sydney on the coast, UltimateOz Basecamp has stunning beaches, amazing sand dunes and loads of Aussie wildlife including dolphins, whales, koalas, parakeets, echidnas and possums. Our dorm accommodation is 5-minutes walk to the beach and home to Josie, our kangaroo!
Pizza dinner included.
Sandboarding & Bush Walk
Today we jump in the 4WDs and ride to the highest dunes to try sandboarding! Then it’s time to chill at the beach before lunch. That afternoon we take a guided bush walk through Tomaree National Park to our favourite lookout. Enjoy stunning scenery, breathtaking views and get the chance to see koalas in the treetops and migrating whales (May – November). Tonight we enjoy an Aussie BBQ dinner and drinks around the campfire.
