Here at RatPack, everything is go go go, centred on adventure and making the most over every single millisecond of your time in Australia. But sometimes, a moment of relaxation and slowing down a little is needed and if you look in the right places, Aussie can be exactly that…relaxing!
Most of your trip is going to be jam packed with epic adventures and experiences (check out our free planning calendar to get yourself organised), but sometimes you’ve got to break it up a little and chill-ax!!
Australia is a beautiful country, full of insane landscapes and wildlife – so don’t forget to look around every now and again and take it all in.
So here goes, RatPack’s top 3 Aussie locations where you can truly switch off…

Diving on The Great Barrier Reef
There is something so magical about submerging yourself in to the world of life under the sea.
Everything around you becomes so quiet and peaceful – all you can hear is the fish nibbling on the coral below (it’s so cool!).
Snorkelling and scuba diving is also the perfect excuse to go phone free! You can fully switch off and take in everything around you.
Sailing the Whitsundays
The Powerplay catamaran is the definition of luxury travelling *flashpacking* at an awesome price and has an onboard heated jacuzzi, incredible food, an onboard photographer, private rooms and activities such as snorkelling & stand up paddleboarding.
With only 18 others of board, this is a totally chilled out option of seeing the Whitsunday Islands in all their glory.
Dolphin kayaking in Byron Bay
Spend half a day on the water getting up close and personal with Byron’s locals – dolphins.
Not only will you see dolphins but you’ll also see turtles and a whale or two during the migration season {July-Oct}.

Planning a huge trip is always a daunting experience but George managed to make the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. Everything from start to finish was personal and easy! Booking with RatPack is like being on the phone to a mate. Super informative, really friendly and we got an amazing deal. All you can ask for really. Thank you RatPack!
Huge thank you to RatPack Travel! We left it pretty late to book our campervan for Tassie and couldn't find many affordable options ourselves. I spoke to Gregg from RatPack on Whatsapp and within 10 minutes he had found us a great vehicle at an amazing price. We've just landed in Hobart and found out we've been upgraded to an even better van at the same price!! Will definitely be recommending RatPack to everyone I know who is planning to travel and see Australia the proper way! Thank you Gregg! ❤️
