The Most Relaxing Travel Experiences in Australia

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.

I am a first time traveler, so was very nervous about booking a motor home. Jenna was such a pleasure to deal with. She was super friendly and helpful . She explained everything and answered all questions asked. She is very efficient and professional as well as upbeat and happy. I feel confident that I am going to have a great trip and it all started with Jenna 🌸 I definitely recommend this company to everyone and of course Jenna ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing service by the team at Ratpack. They helped us to book our camper and tours for the east coast, making a really simply a straightforward process, saving me hours of research and deliberation. I trust them implicitly. Never sales-y, or pushy, always glad to answer queries. Took a real interest in us and our trip. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Tyla was amazing! Found exactly what I needed and even when it wasn’t available, called to check other options. In the end I got a trip suited for my needs & all my questions answered. Will definitely suggest friends to talk to you guys next time they’re in Australia!

Such an excellent service from Jenna. I was taken through all the possible options for my budget - no matter how many times I changed my mind. Jenna made the process very easy and I booked the same day as I enquired. Would highly recommend!

Really great help sorting a camper car for us. Everything booked within 24 hours of making the enquiry. We had actual conversations over the phone too which really helped us relax and decide what to do. Would definitely recommend

I booked my campervan to travel in NZ via RatPack Travel, who managed to find me the perfect van at relatively short notice and with a discount! It was a real help to have someone do the searching and mediate with the company, once they had dates and information from me. Thanks for the prompt and friendly service!
