After a month in Cairns it was time to move on. I wasn't sure what was the best option to do it. The only thing I knew was the East coast is more touristy than the West coast therefore more expensive.

I though doing an all-inclusive tour was a good option to discover what it's like to travel with an agency and to save money on attractions.

After this trip, I realized that sometimes it could be worth loosing some freedom to do things you'll never do otherwise. I cannot say I regretted my choice even though i won't travel anymore with a tour agency.

What is the Grasshopper Travel concept?

The way this organization works is quite clever. Your AUD $ 3000/ people have only two purposes:

• Financing gas for the minibus for 40 days

• The use of professional photography and filming of the various activities you will partake in

In exchange:

• you must do a 2min testimonial in your mother tongue to promote each activity you do for free.

• You get incredible accommodation for free

The only thing I didn't know was the free activities were just an approach, nothing adventurous which I found boring. Also the free adventures depend of the weather. To live something more adventurous (bungee jumping, scuba diving, skydiving, mountain biking, 4WD on Frazer Island) you need to pay an extra. I guess it's still cheaper as a group instead of alone.
