Where Else Can I Travel With East Coast Tours?

If you've already experienced the trip of a lifetime on Australia's East Coast, continue the fun by travelling further! Here are some of the backpacker-favorite destinations that we can work into your itinerary. 

Australia

Northern Territory

Step into the heart of the Outback and the Red Centre with a trip to the Northern Territory! From the capital city of Darwin, to the famous Uluru near Alice Springs, to Kakadu National Park with its spectacular canyons and gorges, Australia's Northern Territory is a remote, wild, and magical part of the country. Camping, stargazing, and hiking don't get more breathtaking than in the Outback. 

Tasmania

Continue south from Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road and explore Tasmania! This rugged island off Australia's South Coast is filled with picturesque bays, epic hiking trails, charming towns, and dramatic coastal views. Spend some time in Hobart and indulge in the fresh, farm-to-table cuisine. 

Western Australia

Western Australia offers a less touristy side of the country where you can beach-hop, see unique wildlife, visit offshore islands, and see vast, saturated landscapes. Most travellers begin in Perth and either head north to Broome and Exmouth for diving and camel rides on the beach, or they head south to Margaret River and Esperance for wine tasting and surfing. 

Oceania

Fiji

This idyllic collection of 330 islands in the South Pacific has a place on many traveller's bucket lists, and with good reason! The colourful coral reefs, turquoise waters, lush mountains, enticing culture, and warm hospitality of Fiji are unmatched. Spend your time in Fiji snorkelling, diving, hiking, surfing, and getting in touch with the country's rich heritage through music, art, and dance. 

New Zealand

New Zealand is the perfect destination for those seeking adventure, cultural exploration, and the serenity of unspoiled landscapes. Between the North and South Island, there are endless opportunities to learn about Maori history and traditions, embark on seriously beautiful hikes or road trips, test your limits with adventure sports, and mingle with the friendly Kiwis. 

Asia

Indonesia

With over 17,000 islands (Bali being the most famous), Indonesia is home to a mosaic of ethnicities, religions, and languages, making it one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world! Throw in the picturesque beaches, glittering temples, and tropical forests and you've got the perfect setting for a Southeast Asian adventure. 

Thailand

Thailand is one of the most popular countries to visit in Asia, thanks to its famous, flavorful cuisine, happy, smiling locals, and diverse, stunning landscapes. When visiting Thailand, you can island-hop between limestone cliffs in the south, explore the jungles and mountains in the north, or get lost in the hustle and bustle of big cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai. 

Vietnam

From the otherworldly views of Ha Long Bay, to the enticing aromas of the street markets in Hanoi, to the scenic motorbike routes of the countryside, Vietnam has so much to offer in terms of culture and natural beauty. Travellers flock here to sample delicious street food, learn about the country's tumultuous history, and explore the lush, remote landscapes. 

Cambodia

Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Cambodia is known for its ancient wonders, complex history, and alluring cultural landmarks. The country's most famous place is the well-preserved temples of Siem Reap, with Angkor Wat being the crown jewel of the World Heritage Site. Cambodia is home to welcoming locals and beautiful villages that embrace all who cross their paths. 

India

From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the tropical beaches of Goa, India is a diverse subcontinent with one of the most distinct cultures and histories in the world. Travellers can visit architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, vibrant cities like Delhi and Mumbai, or traverse the beaches, jungles, and mountains. 

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a beautiful island nation in the Indian Ocean that captivates visitors with its idyllic beaches, ancient ruins, and rich history and culture. From surfing on the coast, to touring tea plantations in the highlands, to admiring colonial architecture in the city of Colombo, to taking scenic train journeys across the country, you can have lots of cool experiences in a short time on this compact island!

Philippines

This pristine archipelago combines history and modernity with unbelievable natural wonders. Anyone who loves water sports will have a blast in the Philippines, as the snorkelling, diving, and surfing here is unbelievable. Beyond the white-sand beaches and flourishing coral reefs, you can immerse yourself in the Filipino culture which showcases delicious food, warm hospitality, and fascinating traditions. 

Japan

Continue your cultural adventures in Asia with a visit to Japan! Taste unbelievably fresh sushi, hit the slopes in the mountains, admire the cherry blossoms in spring, or get swept up in the whirlwind of Tokyo. Japan has something for everyone, whether you want to connect with ancient traditions, marvel at natural beauty, or step into the future in the big cities. 

South Korea

A dynamic and multifaceted Asian destination, South Korea offers a wide range of unique experiences. In just one visit you can tour serene temples and palaces in the mountains, visit picturesque islands like Jeju, sample traditional sizzling barbeque, and immerse yourself in the innovation, architecture, and K-pop music of Seoul.
