Well then the Loka Travel Mick Pass is for you!

The Loka Travel Collective is one of the freshest and best ways to travel the East Coast of Australia – combining all the ease and fun of an organised tour with the flexibility of a hop on, hop off bus pass.

Travelling between Sydney and Cairns on the Loka Travel mini buses (max 24 passengers) you’ll stop off at all the must see destinations along the East Coast – including spots like Byron Bay, Rainbow Beach (for access to Fraser Island), Airlie Beach (for access to The Whitsunday Islands) and Magnetic Island.

Loka packages in some unique stops too – like the exclusive River Retreat Tipi Camp, an Indigenous Camp and Barrington Tops National Park – so you get to see an alternative side to the usual backpacker trail.

Alongside that are some awesome included activities – like Hunter Valley wine tasting, a visit to a Koala Hospital, ocean rafting and snorkelling.

Manage your travel plan with the Loka app and with up to 12 months to complete your trip you can extend your stay in any stop and explore some more.

Want to surf longer in Spot X? No worries!

Found work sailing on the Whitsundays? Easy as!

Although accommodation isn’t included in the pass your Loka Guide will help you organise your stay at the next stop, with a range of accommodation to suit all budgets and styles – they’re there to help you make the most your trip!

Make the most of the East Coast, tailor it to suit your needs and meet some new buddies – the Loka Travel Passes are the way forward!

One of the easiest ways to tick this off your bucket list is a Magnetic Island Package deal – which includes accommodation, return ferry transfers and more.

And this Magnetic Island Koala Cuddle Package with the team at Bungalow Bay YHA also includes entry to the Koala Sanctuary, where you’ll be taught all about one of Australias most fluffy locals and even get the chance to hold one for a photo!

Not only that but they’ll kit you up with some nibble for the friendly local rock wallabies (who also love posing for photos!), a welcome drink (that’s for you not the wildlife!) and snorkel hire throughout your stay.

It’s the perfect way to kick back on island time for a few days!
