Sunsets and Surf
For the price I felt I should have received less roommates but it is Australia so might just be the norm. I have paid far less and had better accommodations and far fewer roommates. Overall the holiday was great.

Sunsets and Surf with Sailing
I had a great time on Contiki's sunset and surf trip. My favorite highlights were the sailing and surfing excursions. Byron Bay and Noosa were awesome stops as well!

Best experience of my life
Found this trip was the perfect length for getting a good taste of Australia. I think if I were to do it again I would recommend staying on in order to visit the Great Barrier Reef but if time is limited I would highly recommend this! The sailing was also a wonderful addition to the trip.
