Experiences
Sail The Whitsundays
Ever wanted to visit of of the worlds best beaches? Well here in the Whitsundays you can!
Whitehaven Beach is the hotspot of the Whitsundays and can be explored on a sailing trip from Airlie Beach. You’ll kick back on a sailing boat or catameran for a few days, relax, snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, watch incredible sunrises and sunsets, have a drink under the stars and be looked after by the crew.
Scuba Dive the Great Barrier Reef
Up there on most backpackers bucketlists! One of the great wonders of the world the Great Barrier Reef is a beaaaaauty and best explored by scuba diving!
Not scuba dived before? No problem, all of the tour boats offer introductory dives with a guide and we can get these at a great deal. Check out the corals, sharks, turtles and a massive array of fish.
Explore the worlds largest sand island by 4wd
Fraser Island is a beaaaaaauty just off the coast of Queensland, north of Brisbane. The world largest sand island is home to the dingo (keep away from these bad boys), freshwater lakes, tea tree lakes, massive sand dunes, shipwrecks and rainforest.
This spot is best explored by 4WD on a tagalong tour with DropBear Adventures or Nomads. Spend 3 days camping under the stars with a group of legends!
Meet the Quokkas on Rottnest Island
Seen pictures of these little smiley dudes? Part of marsupial family, you’ll find these guys on Rottnest Island just off the coast of Perth.
Hire a bike to cruise the island and try and get a selfie with them, we reckon that they are probably one of the most photogenic creatures you’ll ever meet!

Swim with Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef
A once in a lifetime experience over in Western Australia and one NOT to be missed. Whale Sharks are incredible mammals and only found in a few spots around the world, head on a swimming tour with one of the ethical companies in Exmouth.
Did you know only 1 in 8 million people have done this? The RatPack crew have done this and can safely say it was one of the TOP experiences in the world, not just in Aussie. Head on a West Coast tour from Perth to Exmouth with a guide to see it in all its beauty!
Visit the red centre – Uluru
The heart of Australia and a unique rock formation like no other! This huge red rock will leave you baffled as its right out in the outback of Aussie and is a deep red!
Head here on a tour with a guide where you’ll be sleeping under the stars in swags and seeing Uluru at sunset/sunrise. A true Aussie outback experience!
Skydive over the Great Barrier Reef with a beach landing
Mission Beach is the HOME of beach landings, a unique way to make your skydive that little bit more intense (as if it didn’t need making more intense).
Jump from 15,000ft and see the Rainforest, the Great Barrier Reef and land on the sand! A feeling like NO other, yewwwwwwww
Roadtrip the Great Ocean Road
Get your crew together, get a campervan or car, get your playlist ready and hit the road RatPack Roadie style and explore the Great Ocean Road! This trip is insane and one of our favourites.
Head from Melbourne along the coast with your last spot being the 12 Apostles for sunset, you’ll visit some amazing beaches, great view points and stop off at Kenneth River to spot Koalas and parrots.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mike helped us get sorted with an ideal route and van for our east coast trip!! Got us a super discount and was really helpful with any questions we had - a pleasure to deal with!!!
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!
Amazing service, friendly, helpful and supportive people. Highly recommend
Mike with the doggo deserves a beer for all his help! Thanks so much
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!
Mike made the process easy with options we had not thought of. Would recommend 5 stars.
Can’t thank RatPack Travel enough for helping me find a campervan for my trip to Australia! Jules was amazing and super helpful!
Made renting a campervan so much easier!! Jenna was amazing and helped us through multiple different options and dates until we found the right one for us, would definitely 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!
