Program Itinerary

You’ve finally arrived for your Sydney working holiday, and what better way to start than with a jam-packed week of adventures Down Under…

Day 1

Welcome to Sydney!

Get picked up at the airport and head to your accommodation where you can take some time to recover from jet-lag. Your hostel has the best views in town; grab a drink and watch sunset over Sydney Harbour before grabbing a bite to eat.

Day 2

Explore the City & Family Dinner

Today's the day you meet your guide and other travellers you'll be doing your Sydney adventure with! We'll get the life admin out of the way (tax, banking, sim card etc.) before exploring the city by foot. In the evening, we'll head out to one of Sydney's most iconic venues for dinner with your new travel family.

Day 3

Bondi Beach

You will visit Sydney’s famous cliff-top coastline and walk from Coogee to Bondi beach. Watch the sunset in Bondi Beach or return to the city and continue to explore the night life and social scene in the Harbour City. Your group leader will be sure to give a number of suggestions in and around town to make sure you get to see the very best side of Sydney!

Day 4

Surf Lesson & Party Night

The true blue Aussie tradition, ‘catching a wave’ at our morning surf lesson. Our Surf Guides will teach you the ins and outs of surfing with ocean safety, surfing techniques, warm-up, and time in the water. After a day at the beach, we’ll get dressed up for a fun night on the town! Meet the group at one of our favourite party bars before starting our Sydney Pub Crawl, with a couple of welcome drinks along the way.

Day 5

Blue Mountains

You can’t come to Sydney and not visit the Blue Mountains! This morning, you’ll escape the city and travel to the Blue Mountains National Park, a short drive from Sydney. Enjoy hiking, visit waterfalls, spot wild kangaroos, and take in some of the Bluey’s spectacular views!

Day 6

Sydney Harbour Cruise

Today we will jump on our very own Catamaran for a cruise on Sydney Harbour. We will spend the day cruising, swimming, and chilling on Sydney Harbour and enjoy our first Aussie BBQ on deck.

You will attend a job search seminar to learn lots of tips and tricks about job search in Australia. Our team will make sure you’ve got everything sorted for living and working in Australia, and we’ll get you registered with our job program to connect you to our wide network of employers.

The Adventure Program offers 4 extra days of fun and 3 extra nights of accommodation!

It’s perfect for those who want a more immersive experience exploring Sydney and its surrounding gems. Highlights include a road trip to the whitest beach in the world, a rooftop BBQ, and dolphin spotting. While you’re enjoying these adventures, you’ll still have access to our in-country team to help you get set up for work in Australia.

Can I choose my own start date for the program in Sydney?

Yes! The Adventure Program runs year-round, giving you complete flexibility to choose your start date.

During the Australian summer (September–March), there are typically 5–6 tour dates available each month, while in the off-peak season, this drops to 2–3 dates. However, we recommend securing your spot in the program before booking flights. Make sure your Australia Working Holiday Visa is approved first to avoid any complications.

How early should I book this program while still in Canada?

The sooner, the better! The first step in our process is guiding you through securing your Working Holiday Visa for Australia. By booking early, you’ll give yourself plenty of time to prepare and maximize your pre-departure support.

I’m traveling solo to Australia on a working holiday. Do other participants travel alone too?

Absolutely! Many participants travel solo, which is why this program is perfect for meeting like-minded people.

You’ll join a group of travelers from around the world who are also embarking on their own adventures. Most participants are eager to connect and make friends, so you’ll feel right at home from day one.

Will I get job support in Sydney as part of this program?
