Tourist Info
At the Funkhouse Backpackers Hostel, we have a full time Travel Agency and can help you with any of your travel needs. Whether you are looking for activities in or around Sydney, or you want to plan the rest of your travels through Australia, we are there for you!
All travel advise is absolutely free and we can plan your trip exactly as you want.
Have you seen the best in and around Sydney yet? Ask reception for information about daytrips to the Blue Mountains or Hunter Valley, The Harbour Bridge Climb, a visit to the Aquarium, Taronga ZOO, Olympic Park, etc.
A lot of our guests continue their travels up the east coast. How about booking discounted packages to Fraser Island and the Whitsundays Sailing? Or activities in popular destinations such as Byron Bay (canoe with dolphins, whale watching, surfing), Theme parks on the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise, snorkelling or diving trips to the Great Barrier Reef and rainforest encounters around Cairns and Cape Tribulation.
But it doesn't end there.
In outback Australia you can do tours to see the old Aboriginal culture. Learn to play the didgeridoo or throw a boomerang. Go hiking around Uluru (Ayers Rock), and gaze at the beauty of Kata Tjuta (the Olga's) and the impressive Kings Canyon. Feel the red sand and watch out for wildlife!
The south and west coast are the best places to see the more rugged side of Australia. With The Great Ocean Road, the North West Coastal highway and the Great Northern Highway, running from Pert to the top of West Australia, you can do some serious road tripping.
And then we haven't even started talking about train- and bus passes, surfing lessons, campervan and car rentals, camping trips and all of the National Parks you can find in this amazing country.
Please let our reception staff help you with booking your transport, tours and/or activities.
