What we are about

We run small-group trips up and down Australia’s East Coast and across New Zealand, built for solo travellers aged 18 to 30. We handle the accommodation, transport and key activities, so you can spend less time planning and more time saying yes to whatever’s next. Every trip comes with loads of free time built in, and a group of new mates who won’t feel like strangers for long.

Prefer to go your own way? We also offer self-guided solo itineraries, customised to your dates, budget and ideas.
