The journey between Rainbow Beach (the gateway to K'gari) and Airlie Beach (the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands) is an 11-hour drive (without stops). The Greyhound Bus from Rainbow Beach to Airlie Beach takes between 14.5 to 16.5 hours.
We recommend giving yourself at least one week, and ideally, two weeks for this package, allowing plenty of time to explore the East Coast of Australia!

Transport is not included in the standard package. However, a Greyhound Whimit Bus Pass or campervan, are popular add-ons and we can offer you a discounted rate if you need a hand getting from A to B!

Can I do the tours back-to-back?
Due to the 11-hour journey between Airlie Beach and Rainbow Beach, we recommend giving yourself at least one or two days between the end of your first tour and the beginning of your second.
If you're really short on time, chat with our travel agents to optimise your days on the East Coast!
Can I do these tours solo and make friends?
Both of these tours are social, backpacker-style trips. Naturally, this attracts young, fun and social travellers, making it super cruisy and easy to make friends! We recommend this package for solo travellers, small groups and friends/couples alike. All you need is a sense of adventure!
Is food included in the package?
Your two tours are inclusive and catered for. In total, you will receive 2 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 2 dinners, along with snacks in between.

Common dietary requirements like vegetarian and gluten-free can be catered for upon request. If you have dietary requirements, please let our travel agents know ASAP so they can confirm and arrange for any changes. Please note that some operators charge a fee to cater for special dietaries.
Is this trip family-friendly?
Unfortunately, this package isn't suitable for children. This is a backpacker-style trip designed for travellers aged between 18 and 35. If you're a young-at-heart adventurer, this social package is perfect!
