This 10-day adventure from Brisbane to Cairns is perfect for those seeking the natural beauty of Queensland with a small group of new friends

Hop aboard for an epic two-night sailing adventure through the stunning Whitsundays. Go snorkelling and soak up the landscape as you cruise through the untouched islands.
Meet with a First Nations guide at Mungalla Station to learn about history and culture of the Nywaigi people. Then, discover the wetlands and abundance of birds that call this place home.
Spend two nights on Magnetic Island, known for its amazing natural scenery, lush walking trails, secluded beaches and koalas that live here in the treetops.
Relax among the palm trees on Mission Beach, with a free afternoon to dig your heels into the warm sands, look out at the ocean over sunset or watch the cassowaries cross the road.
Discover the town of Noosa, where you’ll take the Coastal Walk to Hill’s Gate lookout. Then, enjoy heaps of free time to maybe go surfing, take a day trip to K'gari (Fraser Island) or an eco-safari through the lush Everglades.

Accommodation is carefully selected to align with the Intrepid 18 to 35s style, often close to main attractions. Expect multi-share hostels without private ensuite facilities or air-conditioning, and occasional alternative arrangements due to availability. Rooming is gender-based, and early check-in isn't always possible.
