If there's any such thing as a surfer's continent, the land Down Under is it. Imagine a country approximately the same size as the United States, but with excellent, rideable surf on at least two-thirds of its coastline. And a largely undeveloped coastline, where lazy two-lane highways wind their way through small coastal towns, national parks and miles of uncrowded beaches. With the exception of some of the busier urban surf centers on Australia's east coast (like Queensland's Surfer's Paradise and Sydney in New South Wales, both of which have their own charms) exploring Down Under is like going back in time; like California in the early 1960s-except supersized. And unlike a lot of our tropical destinations, this country is right point heaven: Noosa, Burleigh, Kirra, Snapper Rocks, Byron Bay, Lennox Heads, Crescent Heads, Angourie, Winki Pop, Bells Beach...the list goes on and on.

And that doesn't even include Australia's fabled West Coast, the most consistent surf zone on earth. Waterways offers the flexible Campervan Rental Program. Both 2wd and 4wd vehicles and campers are available to suit the size of your group. Vehicles can be picked up and dropped off in most major cities on the east, west and south coast. The feeling of the freewheeling experience is one of spirit and adventure.

To access the most remote regions of the super consistent’s west coast a boat or yacht is necessary. The yacht Heron is the best and only way to experience the desert islands off Australia’s NW coast. This region is so desolate and void of all population (including other surfers), that your group will feel like the first explorers who made way to west Australia. The captain and crew of Heron are the only people who have really spent any time in this region and know the intricacies of the many breaks and how they work on various conditions.
