Want to get lost in Sydney? We’ll help… really. Sydney is a great city to explore and find yourself in; from backpacking through the city to exploring the beaches, there’s always a fun option for you. A backpacker car service is a great and affordable way to get your trip started.

Sydney is gorgeous all year long, making it a popular destination for backpackers no matter the season. Not every part of Sydney is easy to get to on foot though. For backpackers in Sydney, booking a shuttle or car service is sometimes a necessity. It’s also the best way to see the different and diverse parts of Sydney from little used dirt paths to out of the way landscapes to the hard to get to coastal areas. Our people movers are ready to help you see it all!

With its history of walkabouts, camping, and hiking, Sydney has wholeheartedly embraced backpackers throughout the city, and hostels and other backpacker accommodations have cropped up over every part of CBD and the Sydney suburbs. Your hostel of choice will depend on the type of walkabout or backpacking trip you’re looking for in Sydney. For a beach journey, Bondi and Coogee are great places to begin. Each has restaurants, pubs, and bars located right along the beach! If you’re looking to explore the city more, check out the hostels in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, and Sydney CBD. For fast and inexpensive hostel transportation, look no further than a REDY2GO shuttle. We can provide people movers and car services from Sydney airport to your hostel at a price you can afford.

Here’s some backpacking advice to get you started

Backpacking Tips in Sydney

Take the Road Less Travelled

If you’re backpacking around Sydney, make sure to explore the overlooked spots such as Myall Lakes, Royal National Park, the Central Coast, and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

Explore the Suburbs

In Sydney and Australia, suburbs are a little different from what you may be used to. Sydney suburbs are diverse places with vibrant art scenes and active café cultures. Hostels in Sydney suburbs are also often cheaper than their CBD counterparts.

Electronic Tips

For backpackers, it’s recommended to leave your iPad or laptop at home. Almost all hostels in Sydney have Internet access and Internet cafes are located all over the city. Checking emails or using Skype is easy for backpackers in Sydney without having to drag around expensive devices. However, if you do bring your laptop, remember to get a travel adapter!
