5.00My sister and I signed up for the Sydney to Brisbane 6-day, 5-night Surf Bus Trip, and it was the best thing we could have ever done. Everything from the food, camping locations, and surf instructors to the surf locations and so much more was top-notch. Seb worried about every detail and has created one of the best, most authentic Australian experiences. So grateful for the amazing group of once strangers now friends that I got to share the experience with. Don’t question it, book the trip now! March ‘26
Best experience I've ever had in Australia

5.00SUPER RECOMMENDED !!! I joined the Surf Bus alone and, really, that took second place right away, because you end up connecting with people in a very genuine way. The whole experience feels like a reset: rich and healthy food, daily surfing and a very special energy. One thing that I highly value is Seb’s respect and support, both for the places we visited and for the people we met. The walk with Ambar, a First Nations woman, was a very significant moment, she shared about her culture and medicine in a very authentic way. Seb is a genius, transmits a lot of passion as a coach, has incredible energy and is in all the details for everyone to have a good time, that shows. I loved doing it with him!!! If or if you have to live this experience
Perfect surf trip to explore the east coast

5.00I highly recommend this trip with Seb! Every little aspect is perfectly arranged. You camp at beautiful campsites, have a surf lesson at a different beautiful bay everyday and get lovely walks in the evening to explore wildlife and the indigenious culture. Seb is running this trip with great passion and is making sure everyone in the group has a great time. Thank you Seb, it has been amazing!
Awesome surf trip!!

5.00One week on the Australian Surf Bus was an incredible experience to say the least. It was filled with kind people, super surfspots and guides (all so chill and ready to cheer you up on every wave), good music, lots of wildlife and wonderful activities! Seb was the best host: if there was a problem he immediately helped solving it to make the week the most enjoyable and memorable for everyone.
Best ever!

5.00Seb is so lovely and everything was perfect!! I really appreciated the fact that he introduced us to every First Nations country we drove through along the road trip and the history of Australia. Lots of nature walks and never got bored. Definitely recommend for solo travellers looking to meet new people or for friend groups! Such a supportive environment and you meet some real cool surf coaches along the way too.

5.00One of the best decisions I have ever made was booking a trip on the Australian Surf Bus. Guaranteed heaps of fun all throughout the trip and Seb was an absolute legend who has not only so much knowledge to help you learn or improve on your surfing skills, but also knowledge about Australia and it's culture. He is also really invested in making sure everyone on the trip is having fun and enjoying themselves. HIGHLY recommend booking a trip.
Fun experience

5.00A good choice if you are solo travelling and want to see the east coast. Seb is very kind and supportive, and is a very good tour he has where you can experience different sides of Australia. If you’re a complete beginner as I was maybe you want to take a lesson or two before. But overall it’s a really good and funny camp 🥰
