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}.

Really helpful and overall great experience. Thanks George!!
George was super helpful, getting us organised for our trip to NZ and sorting us out a great deal for our home on wheels :) Very much appreciate the support given we left it a little late... Thank you!
Great service, Sam was so helpful and made planning a holiday a breeze!
Can't thank Ben @Ratpack Travel enough for the turnaround on my campervan booking - and on short notice too! Outstanding customer centricity and quality banter with the knowledge to match Should be a go to for anyone wishing to travel this way
Ben couldn’t have been more helpful in assisting with this booking. He was responsive and patient whilst we changed details and dates. I’d highly recommend rat pack and Ben. Thanks guys!
Anna was super attentive and helpful during the planning process. She made it as easy as it possibly could be!
Just rent a car through this company. James has been really helpful and patient ! I recommend a 100 %
Had trouble booking a campervan in nz and finding a good price, James made the process extremely easy and was willing to answer any questions we had in great detail would highly recommend James to anyone struggling to find a campervan in New Zealand. He even got us a discount!
Gregg did a great job of navigating through my questions in helping us secure the right vehicle for our trip to New Zeland! I don't have time to search and get quotes from 5 different companies all with different add ons and prices. Gregg with Ratpack did all the work and even negotiated a better price then going direct. Pretty much covered the additional cost of insurance! So dont waste your time searching the net for the right rental! Get time back to plan your adventure and let Ratpack get you there!
Sammy was super helpful in helping me find exactly what I was looking for! He checked in with me every so often and was patient with me while I organised dates. Also gave some great advice relating to my travels! Thankyou:))
My booking experience with James was exception. excellence in customer service second to none!
Chris is a star! Even with the time difference, RatPack manage to keep track of our demands through whatsapp, with days apart. We also have an incredible support to find us a solution with our dates that at first didn't match van availability, and score for us a great deal on top of that. Highly recommended!
Ryan got me a really good deal and was very helpful over the phone, would 100% recommend him and ratpack
James was super helpful! Thanks so much!
Ryan helped me book my 4 week trip to NZ, all sorted over 1 simple phone call. Very polite and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
