What they say about us
Careful - you will want to move to Australia after this trip!
100% recommended!
The tour group was small which meant moving from place to place was a lot easier and we could be flexible about our plans each day! We stayed in great accommodation, a lot of which was locally owned which I really enjoyed. It was nice to stay in smaller rooms of three people, I got to stay with my two friends for the whole trip which was epic!
We packed so much into the tour. Even on days where we were travelling more, Jason squeezed in little nuggets to break up the journeys. I felt we covered everything I wanted to see on the East Coast and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to travel in a smaller group setting! The highlight of the trip was Magnetic Island, our accommodation was brilliant and even though we had a free day, Jason took us around the island to see all the best spots, wild koalas, wallabies and waterfalls!!
Thank you so much Jason and Via for an epic tour and hopefully I can catch one of your West Coast trips next!
Careful - you will want to love to Australia 🇦🇺 after this trip!
100% recommended!
Last december I got married to Carmen, we are from Spain and we wanted a different honey moon so we decided to join in the 14 day Sydney to Cairns tour. It has been the trip of our lives, they prepare everything with great care and you can see/feel the social responsibility of the company and the service providers they have chosen.
We were lucky to have Wara as a guide, since he is passionate about his country and a person fully committed to his community, able to give us a lot of information and anecdotes that made the trip much more interesting.
The first week of the tour was great, seeing spectacular places and having the opportunity to go through the koala hospital, but the second week is totally incredible and being able to end up in the Great Barrier Reef is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I recommend you that you to go diving.
Kind regards.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned diver, Ocean Freedom will make you feel at home. With a small group vibe, expert guides, and top-notch gear, it’s the ultimate way to experience the reef up close and personal.

Are you looking to make the trip from the US to Oz? Here are some of the best times to come visit us in the land Down Under! 🇦🇺
🐋 September & October - Perfect for spring weather. Sydney’s getting warmer, the wildflowers are blooming, and Cairns is heating up without being too steamy. You’ll catch the tail end (pun intended) of the whale season, too!
🌅 November - Starting to feel the summer vibes, especially up north in Cairns. It’s the start of the wet season, so it’s lush and green, but you might see a few more showers. Sydney will be sunny and perfect for beach days!
Overall, October’s your sweet spot if you want a bit of everything—nice temperatures, fewer crowds, and heaps of activities. ✈️

Pippa Middleton has a soft spot for Ningaloo Reef. Yes, we know it (who does not)!
In fact, it was where she went on her honeymoon with husband James Matthews! It’s not surprising considering it’s a top spot for snorkelling and experiencing nature at its finest. With crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and marine life that’ll blow your mind, Ningaloo’s a real treasure.
So if it`s good enough for HRH Princess of Wales’ sister, it’s good enough for your next getaway 👑 😉

When is the best time to visit Ningaloo Reef? 🤔💭
The truth is, Ningaloo Reef is always teeming with life! But, if you have specific wildlife on your bucket list, here's the best chance you have at spotting them:
🐢 Turtles - November to February sees nesting season for the Loggerhead, Hawksbill, and Green Turtles which means the best time to see hatching baby turtles returning to the sea is February to March.
🦈 Whale Sharks - Gentle giants of the shark species, whale sharks are a joy to swim with, and you’re most likely to spot them between July and August.
🌊 Manta Rays - Fairly active around the reef throughout the summer and Autumn seasons, Manta Rays are majestic up close, you’re more likely to see them between April and November.
🐋 Humpback Whales - Humpback whales start their season in March but the best time to view them is winter between June until late October. In fact, nearly 35,000 humpback whales make their way through Ningaloo during their migration, taking a rest in the warm waters.
