Your first week in Sydney will be one you'll never forget. From exploring the city to learning to surf, bush walking in the mountains to snorkeling in the sea. Barbequeing by the beach to dining in style. You'll mingle with stars and drink in cool bars. And share the fun, the laughs and the adventure with new friends.

There's a lot more to Sydney than the Opera House.

It's a vibrant city built around one of the most spectacular harbours in the world.

There's so much to experience like the historic Rocks area, Chinatown, the hip and funky surrounding suburbs, more than a dozen beautiful beaches and all the exciting nightlife. It has a fabulous energy, diverse culture and friendly people. We'll help you discover the true Sydney and to experience things that most backpackers never do.

Start your week off with a blast - jet boating around Sydney Harbour!

It’s a great way to see the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and soak up the spectacular views of Sydney. All whilst having a great laugh.

With over 16,000 miles of coastline and thousands of amazing beaches, Australia is a surfer's paradise.

It's part of the Aussie lifestyle and is an awesome experience everyone must try.

We take you out of the city to Sydney’s Southern Beaches, where you'll get surf lessons by qualified instructors. Enjoy the thrill of riding waves or just chill out and soak up the sun.

* We don’t do the Learn to Surf Trip during winter. (June to August).

Instead, we go to the Zoo.

Escape from the city and spend a day at the world famous Blue Mountains, where you'll see some magnificent scenery, stunning waterfalls, gorges and bush walk through beautiful rainforest.

You'll get off the beaten track right into the heart of the mountains and experience the major attractions from a different perspective. You'll see native wildlife, go cliff walking and take a ride on the world's steepest railway. It's an action packed day in beautiful surroundings.

Explore Sydney's amazing coastline on the famous Bondi to Coogee coastal walk.

Take in the breathtaking views, swim at stunning beaches and snorkel in secluded bays.

Come face to face with a groper (it's a big fish!) as you discover an amazing underwater world.

We finish in true Aussie style with a beach barbeque and a few cold beers.

Sydney has hundreds of pubs and clubs. We've been to most of them.

(And been kicked out of a few!)

We're gonna take you on a pub crawl to Sydney's best pubs, coolest bars, and funkiest clubs.

There'll be loads of free drinks, sexy locals to meet, great music, and a complimentary kebab on the way home!

See sharks, sting rays and other deadly creatures at the Sydney Aquarium. Plus there’s some fairy penguins that are kinda cute.

Get dressed up for dinner at Australia's highest and most spectacular revolving restaurant. It's a truly unique dining experience with breathtaking panoramic views of Sydney. Enjoy delicious food at the 'all you can eat' buffet, where you even can try kangaroo, camel and crocodile.

It's the perfect way to end your first week in Sydney.

During winter (June, July & August), we replace the Learn to Surf Trip with a trip to Taronga Zoo - where you’ll get to see Kangaroos, Kookaburras and Koalas.
