Group Tour Questions

Group sizes range from 4 to 18, we can always check for you how many are booked on before you book.
Our East Coast Group tour options are the most popular in Australia so you will find they usually always run almost full every departure.

Currently all our tour options start in Sydney, but if you would like to request another start location please send us a message on WhatsApp.

You should see clearly the difference between the semi guided and full guided tours.

Our Group Tours are fully organised, guided social experiences. You travel with the same group of like-minded backpackers and a dedicated group leader, with all your accommodation, iconic activities (like K’gari 4WD and Whitsundays sailing), and key meals pre-booked for you. A Hop-On Hop-Off pass (like Greyhound) provides just the bus transport, leaving you to book your own hostels and tours along the way. If you want a stress-free, instant group of friends, the Group Tour is for you!

Our group tours are specifically tailored for open-minded global travellers, typically aged 18 to 35. The vibe is highly social, adventurous, and fun—perfect for working holiday visa holders, gap year students, and solo backpackers looking to experience Australia’s best coastal spots together.

Had a really good experience with Summer Travel. Jon was amazing and genuinely took the time to understand what we wanted from our trip rather than just trying to sell us things. Everything was booked quickly and easily. Thanks again!

Henry Eades

Booked a few activities and tours through Summer Travel and everything was super easy. The team knew the best options and helped us choose things that actually suited our itinerary and budget. Would definitely use them again!

Matt Hall

Really helpful travel agency for backpackers! We were a bit overwhelmed trying to organise our trip, but Adam helped us work out what to book and when. They gave us some great recommendations and saved us loads of time. Would definitely recommend Summer Travel

Jana Zinsmeister

Ebba Holmgren

huge shoutout to Adam for sorting out our tours last minute. Really knowledgeable and helped us secure amazing options for great prices. Will definitely book through them again

Hannah Poley

I 100% recommend using summer travel it has been so helpful for my whole trip down the east coast. I went to Adam for advice in Sydney on what to do and left with a whole plan tailored to my preferences with suggests from his own experience which always helps. He kept in touch through WhatsApp allowing me to be flexible in booking the tours so I wasn’t stuck with a single timetable. He also had fast replies which made it so much easier when I had a problem or needed last minute advice #legend #givehimapayrise…

Adam, my travel agent, perfectly tailored a route to my budget and the length of my trip. I had an incredibly good time because I didn't have to worry about a thing, and even if something came up, there was constant contact via WhatsApp. A huge recommendation! Thank you so much for the wonderful time! I'd love to book with you again if I’m planing to travel more Aus

Adam at the travel desk in my hostel was great help. My whole East Coast was planned and booked by him and couldn’t have asked for much more. Definitely recommend booking with him
