About This Tour
A 22-day private journey up Australia's east coast — Brisbane, Fraser Island, the Whitsundays, Magnetic Island, Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, and a finish in Sydney. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs the coastal legs with your own private driver and vehicle, with a domestic flight from Cairns to Sydney for the final stretch, exactly as in the original route.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Voyzo runs the Brisbane-to-Cairns coastal legs with your own private driver and vehicle, then flies you from Cairns to Sydney for the final stretch, matching the original route.
By ferry — Fraser Island is reached from Hervey Bay and Magnetic Island from Townsville, both included in the itinerary along with your onward transport.
It can be reshaped freely — some travelers drop the far-north sections (Mission Beach to Daintree) for a shorter Brisbane-to-Whitsundays trip, or extend time on Fraser Island instead.
The main reef day trip is from Port Douglas near the end of the route — the Whitsundays leg focuses on island-hopping and beaches rather than reef snorkeling.
