Not too long ago I was walking past Happy Travels and saw an advertisement for a Budget 25 Day East Coast Trip that only cost $900! I thought the deal was amazing and I'd be going to places that l had never even thought I would get a chance to see… In all honesty, I never thought of backpacking the East Coast, mainly because I didn’t know what to do or even where to start. A few days later I went into Happy Travels to be greeted by the Manager Joe. Originally I thought you just booked the trip and left but he started to explain to me how you get to choose all the activities you want to do. He was super organized with maps, brochures and calendars. He gave me the rundown of how it all works and offered to help me plan the whole trip start to finish. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go through it all and went home to think about what kind of trip I want to have. The next day I returned to meet Joe and his coworker, George. George was a sharp funny guy who explained all the great places and activities you can do going up the coast. From surf lessons, boat cruises, skydiving, rafting, hikes and cuddling with koalas he literally knew it all. The best part was that he had actually done it all too and knew his way around coast really well and was genuinely excited about it. George was with me for a good two hours planning every aspect of my trip from buses, birthday celebrations, boating, famous hikes and places to stay a long time or a short time in. He explained everything to me in great detail and I truly believe there was not one question I could have asked him that he did not know the answer too. Eventually, we came up with a pretty awesome game plan and I was unbelievably happy with what we had made. About a week later I popped in again to add in more activities. Joe, the Manager was there to help with all my needs. What I wanted to do he, himself, had already done and was an actual master at working a schedule and booking amazing hostels. He also helped me book a few things to do in Sydney and offered to help book my flight to Byron Bay. To top it off he was just an overall great person to talk to and was super helpful as well kind and understanding of budgets and expectations. Overall, the place is pretty neat looking with all the colour and computers. They offer free WiFi for backpackers and some pretty comfy orange couches. Moreover, the staff, in general, are a bunch of nice, happy-go-lucky guys and girls who are willing to help you book a trip of a lifetime and ensure that you are getting the most out of Australia. :)

After having been in Sydney a few months on an internship, I decided to get away from the cold and travel the East Coast on my own. I had no idea where exactly I wanted to go, what I wanted to see and what that part of Australia had to offer. To be honest, I stubbled across Happy Travels in Sydney and walking in was the best decision I have ever made. Steffi was absolutely amazing, words cannot describe her kindness and willingness to help me fully grasp what I would be doing on my trip. She took the time to explain the best of the East Coast within the time frame I had given her and reassured me every step of the way by answering every question I threw at her. It was my first time traveling completely alone, and a decision I had completely made on impulse and if it had not been for Steffi's help, perhaps I wouldn't have gone through with it. She took the time to tell me that she also did the same trip and shared a few of her favourite memories of her own - little moments during the planning that inspired me to push myself and book the trip. It was exactly one month, and all things planned were incredible from surf school in Byron Bay, exploring the Whitsundays on a catamaran, camping out on Fraser Island, to scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef, and so much more. I met a lot of people that were going by day by day, and moving up North when they felt like it, but I think having it planned out, or at least knowing where I was sleeping each night was an absolute relief. SO- If you are wondering who you can help you with this, don't hesitate to go to Happy Travels, they are professional, extremely friendly and really do everything to make sure you are ready for an unforgettable trip. Steffi again, THANK YOU for being so lovely. I am remembering that day full of nerves like it was yesterday! - Cheers from Canada :)

Can not recommend Lauren from Happy Travels enough for helping me sort my dream east coast trip! I turned up one afternoon having been to a few other travel agents that told me that what I wanted was near enough impossible. At first I thought I was going to be told the same thing, but Lauren came to the rescue. I explained that I had a very small budget in mind, a very specific timescale, not a lot of knowledge as to where I wanted to go and that I wanted to go at the beginning of January- so basically an aussie travel agent’s absolute worst nightmare. Lauren went through every town between Sydney and Cairns and showed me pictures, hostels and things to do at every point along the way- no one had done this for me and it was so helpful to have her knowledge! Lauren has also travelled the east coast a lot so could talk from personal experiences. We got a calendar and pencilled in a plan, including all of the big tours and day trips and Lauren was able to get me incredible deals on trips and accommodation. I spent around 3 hours in there carefully going over every detail and making sure I’d made the right decisions and that I was keeping costs down. We ended up going slightly over my stupidly low budget which was going to be unavoidable, but she did everything in her power to make my trip and fun and as cheap as possible. I really feel like she understood me and I was so grateful for that! If you’re struggling to plan your trip- this is the girl you need! Thank you so so so much!

Toby helped us plan our australia trip and was very informative and helpful, we booked a Whitsundays tour, Great Barrier Reef tour and a greyhound bus pas. We were told that scuba diving in the reef was the same price as just a snorkel and that we may as well book it and we can decide on the day if we wanted to dive. Well it’s now the day and it turns out I can’t dive because of asthma (not happy travels fault, however should be informed of medical reasons before booking), but we’ve found out the introductory dive is actually $84 dollars more than just snorkelling. I’m not frustrated that I can’t scuba but I am frustrated at paying over the odds and we should have been told the truth about the price at the time. Additionally, I think he’s the manager of the place, he kept weighing in to our conversation with Toby. I assume it was to make us feel welcome and to push more tours at us but he came across as quite creepy, especially as he kept insisting he knew and recognised my partner when he definitely didn’t. When we left the shop she actually felt very uncomfortable and avoided walking past for the rest of our time in Sydney.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Darragh for booking me on the full east coast tour. The tour was absolutely amazing and I had the time of my life. The highlight of the tour was definitely visiting Fraser Island. The island is truly a natural wonder and I was blown away by its beauty. The guided tour of the island was informative and enjoyable, and I loved seeing all the different types of wildlife. The Great Barrier Reef was also a highlight of the tour. I had always wanted to visit the reef and it did not disappoint. The boat ride to the reef was smooth and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling was amazing and I saw so many different types of fish and coral. The boat trip on the Whitesundays was also a highlight of the tour. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were great. We were able to see some amazing scenery and even got to see a few whales. Overall, I had an amazing time on the tour and I am so grateful to Darragh for booking me on it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience on the east coast of Australia. Thank you, Darragh!

After being brought in as a simple voucher offer for a boat trip we were then talked into booking an entire east coast trip. As we have our whits about us we had already priced up and planned most of the east coast trip ourselves. We were intrigued to see what they could offer us and the deals they had were good. However I have never experienced such terrible customer service and appallingly childish behaviour from the so called manager Joe. He got frustrated and rude when we said we would like to think about our decisions and was extremely unprofessional. We had simply asked for a night to think about it and he completely changed his tone and became unfriendly and pressurising. He didn’t let us keep any of our plans and made extremely rude comments to us. We got off easy not paying any money to this company and I will be spreading the word to all backpackers I meet from this point on to avoid them at all costs. They lied about certain trips and have no respect for the customers time. Well actually Joe had no respect for his customers. Cannot speak for the rest of the staff.

Started Traveling at the beginning of the New Year 2018 with my best friend. Started in Sydney and us Essex girls didn't really have a clue where to start our travels, but knew we wanted to travel every part. Noel was honestly amazing with sorting out our trips and all our packages, taking time and consideration in catering for all of our interests, needs and desires for each destination. His knowledge for each destination was impeccable, informing us about so many hide away spots, but I won't spill the beans, you'll have to ask Noel for all the details. Noel takes the time and values your opinion for getting YOU the best, comfort and cheapest rides/activities/accommodation for your all needs. The next 6/7 weeks of our travels are going to be AMAZING and unforgettable, I'm so excited to start traveling around the world. I can't explain my gratitude for Noel helping us out with our travels, 100% will come back to Noel for our travels around New Zealand. THANK YOU!

Joe and his team at Happy Travels are without a doubt the nicest and most helpful travel people I have been to see. I went into Happy Travels with no clue of what to do and see in Australia and as a single female traveller I was worried that I would miss out on certain "must see or do" places. The team took their time in finding me the best route that fitted in with prior plans, along with also booking in some of the best hostels I have ever been to. The tours they booked me onto were the highlight of my travels in aus and were perfectly suited to what I wanted to get out the trips. Happy Travels have also kept in contact with me along the way, checking to see if everything has been going well or if I've had any problems (which I haven't). It's nice to see a team who genuinely care about making your travelling a success and you having a good time rather than trying to rip you off! Best prices in Australia! Thanks Happy Travels for all your help!

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Darragh for booking me on the full east coast tour. The tour was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. The highlight of the tour for me was definitely Fraser Island. The island is truly a natural wonder and I was blown away by the beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. Another highlight of the tour was the Great Barrier Reef. Seeing the coral and all of the different types of fish was truly an incredible experience. The boat tour on the Whitesundays was also amazing and I loved being able to see all of the different islands and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I cannot thank Darragh enough for booking me on this tour. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I will never forget all of the amazing experiences that I had. Thank you, Darragh, for making this dream come true!

I got great service from the first time i set place in the shop and was greeted with a smile! I was recommended this place by some friends who had done an east coast trip before and it was no trouble in using this plan as a starting point and customize to my satisfaction! The first time I was in I hadn't made an appointment and it was really busy so after talking for an hour or so with Noel I had to change to a different person, Joe, and go through the same stuff again, BUT however this proved to be totally fine as they both clearly knew what they were talking about and gave me excellent service!! I am really looking forward to my trip as it's absolutely epic! Happy travels made planning so much easier and faster so I would definitely recommend them, but you might wanna book an appointment for longer planning so you get more quality time with the lads!

Had such a fun time in this place! I was staying in the hostel next door and everyone in there was telling me about all the great deals they got in Happy Travels compared to the price of Peter Pans down the road. When I went into Happy Travels I met some really awesome people, it's pretty clear to see that their staff know the backpacker market, because they have put together the perfect package for me. After we'd finished up, I totalled up the price of my package based on individual prices, and they saved me more than $600 compared to if I did it myself! What I especially liked is that they didn't even leverage the package savings, I was so happy with everything that I wouldn't have even known unless I looked myself. A huge thanks to Joe for kickstarting my time in Australia, hopefully everything else is as positive as this experience!

We planned nearly our whole 1month trip through Australia with Joe from the happy travels team in Sydney, and we had an amazing time. Traveling mostly with the Greyhound bus, great ocean road tour, snorklig, rain forrest tour, Whitsundays boat trip (although unfortunately the weather there was horrible rainy..), Fraser island tour and many accommodations in between.. Joe helped us with a lot of planing and organizing, and payed attention to our low budget. But still, because of many extra costs, we recommend for everybody to read your vouchers carefully. We also booked our Kiwi experience bus for our next destination New Zealand with the happy travels team, and all combined we've got a great discount on our whole trip. We've had a lot of fun ! Thank you for all your help, advices and time you gave us :) :) Greetings, Alex and Marlene

My initial plan when deciding on my travels up the east coast of Australia was to wing it. I'm really happy that was not the case, and this is because I ran into Jo from Happy Travels Sydney. Without feeling pressured Jo offered to sit down with me and discuss and go through my interests and must sees up the coast. We spent a few hours outlining my plan and I must say I was quite pleased with the final result and the price. Anything I didn't want was struck out with no second thought. I hit all the desired spots and enjoyed the whole 2 months of travel immensely! There were NO hidden fees as I have heard others have run into, and the bookings that Jo made for me were smooth and stress free. All in all had a blast of a trip, met so many people, made great memories, and would highly recommend Jo to anyone booking out of Sydney!

I had the best experience with happy travels on George street. Seated next to the check in desk for the nomads hostel is the travel agency. First of all Eefke the travel agent is the most inviting and friendly person I met in Australia. She helped me book my entire trip. I showed up to Sydney with virtually no plan and she helped me plan coordinate and book everything I wanted to do along the east coast. She suggested things I didn’t know about, helped with gray hound buss planning, and just provided the structure to what is making out to be an awesome trip. Everything I booked was within my budget for my 30 day adventure about $3,000 AUD. And the best part is, her services were absolutely free to me. She wouldn’t even accept a tip which I thought was weird but awesome non the less. Thank you Eefke and thanks happy travels!

I went to Happy Travels in December to book my Australian East Coast and New Zealand Adventure. Noel sat with me even after hours and explained all the different options of different tours and things I could do and helped me decide which ones are the right pick for me. Since he did the whole East Coast on his own, he knew a lot what to see and what would be the fitting Trips for me! For New Zealand I had Joe helping me decide on a bus pass and some activities. Since he is from New Zealand he knows the country very well and also helped me set up a schedule on how many days I can spend where. The whole Team and especially Noel and Joe were really helpful and my trip through Australia and New Zealand was absolutely amazing. Even during the trip, they replied and helped quickly, when I had questions!

Unhappy travels - we booked all tours and our camper van at happy travels and almost everything didn’t work out. First we had some problems with the pick up of the camper van - they booked one for 2 people and told us it will work out for 3 - but the van had only 2 seats. We got a new camper at the rental and payed more. Happy travels wanted to talk to us again about the higher costs - but they didn’t. They neither answered. Also the plan for the 3 weeks didn’t work out. We spent so much time on the road and it wasn’t possible to visit the places they wrote us down. They had to tell us that the time is too rare for the distance, because we asked them before. But they told us that everything will work out. Only the tours we booked were very good.

We came into Happy Travels to book the East coast tour and had Noel as our agent to help us book. Not only did he book us the dream tour but also helped us book Fiji which was also on our list to do. He stayed late after his shift finished on two different occasions. He answered all of our questions and altered our tour to how we wanted it. We came in the second time to change some things around and he was extremely understanding. The other staff in Happy Travels were also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Happy Travels to anyone that was looking to book any tours or activities or just wanted some general information as all the staff are happy to help and all have their own experiences to share with you!

Me and my 2 friends are super happy with „Happy Travels“! We had a good feeling from the beginning since the staff is amazing (We loved Greta) and the vibe perfectly relaxed. What we especially liked was that they dont talk down competitive companies or convince you to something else in a bad way. The manager is extremely experienced and it was amazing to hear all his stories! They listen to your individual interests and create YOUR PERFECT trip! We are really happy having booked our whole Australia trip with them! Ps: Look up Bookme prices for similar tours to negotiate and check the reviews of the tours on tripadvisor before booking - its worth it to spend time on research!! All the best for the whole team!

I truly cannot recommend happy travels enough. There aren’t words to express how grateful I am to Mike, Aron and Eddy for saving our holiday! After being let down by another company and refused a refund, they went out of their way to ensure we had our money back by contacting the other company directly, not only this but they then gave us a far greater deal as well as an amazing itinerary, accommodation and transport. Our situation was dealt with sympathy and they truly had our best interest at heart, this company really cares for their customers and they go above and beyond expectations to ensure everyone is guaranteed the experience they’re promised. Thank you so much again for all of your help!

Maddie, Joe and Greta at Happy Travels George Street went out of their way to help me and my friends book the most amazing East Coast and Outback trip! The best thing about the company is that they are the only independent travel agency in the area which means you decide yourself which tours you book and they don’t force you to go with a certain operator or hostel (all they do is give advise and think along to choose the right one for you). In a way you’re planning your own trip and they help you with all the stressful work you don’t want to deal with. Even when we had questions during our trip we could always call them and they would help us out right away. Cheers a lot guys!

I wanted to take a moment to thank Darragh for booking me on the full east coast tour. The tour was absolutely amazing and I had the time of my life. The Great Barrier Reef was a highlight of the tour. I had always wanted to visit the reef and it did not disappoint. The boat ride to the reef was smooth and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling was amazing and I saw so many different types of fish and coral. Overall, I had an amazing time on the tour and I am so grateful to Darragh for booking me on it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience on the east coast of Australia. Thank you, Darragh!

As someone taking a gap year, Happy Travels was the best choice that I could off made to help plan my after work travels. I booked to pretty much travel all over Australia with everything included for so much cheaper than I could find online and including everything that I had on my bucket list and more. I can not fault the work of Joe to help me plan everything, he has taken many hours to make sure that I am going to have the most perfect trip. Joe approach was friendly and welcoming. He is a credit to the happy travels team. I am going to be recommending the store to anyone I see and have already sent a friend to see Joe. 138 days and counting!!!

Recently booked our east coast trip with Maddie in Happy Travels Sydney. After previously booking with a terrible travel agency in England, we were left with so many questions and open ended bookings. Maddie made sure to sort everything and give us so much confidence and happiness that our trip would be great. She made sure we didn’t miss out what we wanted to see/do but stuck to a budget that we had in mind. The whole atmosphere in that agency is lovely, the staff are passionate and very personal. All in all, a really really good travel agency and amazing staff! Thank you happy travels, specifically Maddie and Joe for helping us!

Happy Travels is amazing! I went there with, what seemed to be, an impossible itinerary to plan. Noel helped me out and did a fantastic job putting together a trip that included all the top things I wanted to do. I was really in a time crunch when I visited Happy Travels and had to get my trip planned ASAP and Noel was extremely helpful and accommodating. He even stayed 3 hours extra one day to make sure we could get everything taken care of. He is very knowledgeable on every tour and also gave me some personal advice when it came to choosing specific tours. Great company and great people, I would definitely recommend!

Thaknyou so much to Noel who spent pretty much his whole working day with me and my friend sorting our travel plans. Couldn't recommend him more, got to know us so he understood exactly what we wanted from our experience. From sorting us with a camper van, to activities and hostels- he honestly has planned us 6 weeks of our dream trip up the east coast of Australia. We walked out the shop buzzing and have already told friends out here he is the man to go and see. Again Noel, thank you so so much for all your help and knowledge. Im sure we will pop back in when we get back to Sydney to thank you personally.

Happy Travels has been so helpful during my entire time here in Sydney! The staff is super accommodating and knowledgeable for all the thing my group and I wanted to plan. The five of us planned an entire New Zealand road trip and the only reason it was successful was because of the staff’s help, especially Jess and Joe. They detailed and day by day itinerary for us and was so knowledgeable of all the activities our group would love to experience. My friends and I have booked all our trips through them and they never dissapoint:) Definitely the best travel agency we have found in the area, check them out!

Josephine helped me and my friend book the rest of our entire journey in Australia! She booked everything we wanted to do, places to stay and the journey to get there, as well as getting us the best deals by trying to get everything as cheap as possible suiting our budget. We had spent so much time trying to sort everything out ourselves the last few days but it’s been super hard because of the summer break. She was an incredible help and super sweet! The rest of the crew was also extremely nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone getting help from this company!

Steffi helped us put together a trip, that allowed us to see everything we wanted in a very limited time! She was flexible and understanding, and when she wasn't at the office, the other workers were great at helping us out and I could arrange things via Facebook and phone when I wasn't in Sydney. All in all we received great customer service from the friendly, easily approachable people with great sense of humor! They were able to offer us tours, day trips and experiences from Fraser Island and Uluru to Skydiving, and they really plan you a trip that fits you :)

I popped in here with barely any of my east coast trip organised. I’d left it last minute and everything seemed to have been booked up. All I can say is thank god for Eefke. She patiently sat with me and helped me to get everything sorted and booked - she somehow managed to get me booked onto the trips that seemed fully booked. She was super helpful and so friendly and made the whole process far less painful. Without her, my trip probably wouldn’t have been able to go ahead! It’s also worth mentioning that the whole office has a great vibe, thanks Happy Travels!

Kyle Reed, the manager at the Sydney branch is a legend. He just helped my friend and I plan a 25 day trip along the Australian east coast for an amazing price. Definitely recommend looking into Happy Travels, especially if you are an international exchange student looking to travel for a reasonable price. Not many people can say they traveled to the Whitsundays, reef, as well as many other beautiful islands and beaches along the east coast for a few thousand (AUD). Just be open with whoever your travel agent is and they will make it work for you!

Booked a trip down the East Coast with Happy Travels and couldn't be happier with the service I've received. Have been offered the best possible advice, tips and suggestions, and the staff that dealt with me (Joe and Nicky, you superstars) were so patient and understanding when I swapped and changed my dates and length of the trip a few times over. Would 100% remmcomend for trips of any length and any other travel related advice, they will not disappoint! Thanks again Happy Travels and to you two diamonds, Joe and Nicky. Miss Avocado x

I usually don’t write reviews but this travel agency and especially the girl that helped me (I think she was called Eefke) made my trip one to never forget so they deserve a shoutout!! I would have never been able to plan this trip on my own as there is so much to do and couldn’t figure out what I wanted to book. Eefke really knew what she was talking about and showed a lot of commitment to personalizing my trip. She even got me a great discount for a surfing lesson!! Thanks so much and I would definitely come back!

Me and my friend booked our 30 day East Coast trip with Josephine at happy travels Sydney this week and cannot say a single bad thing. From the start to finish, she was so friendly and enthusiastic, she helped us with every question we had and let us personalise our trip as much as we could. We could not have asked for a better person to book our trip with. We will definitely be back to her for future trips. Would highly recommend happy travels Sydney and everyone in it for anyone planning a trip.

We recently booked all of our tours, accommodation and travel up the east coast with Maddie at happy travels. Everything was organised with very little stress which meant that we could enjoy picking the route we wanted to take without all the worry! So far the recommendations made by Maddie have been amazing, thank you Maddie! And thanks to Joe who helped us with finishing touches of our trip. All the staff are super friendly which made the process even more enjoyable!!

Great! Would recommend! Happy Travels Sydney! Kat was great in helping us find a campervan when we were let down by our booking from another company! She was very friendly and was also helpful in suggesting must see spots which we are going to visit with the camper! She listened to what we wanted and made booking through her really easy! Booking these kinds of trips can really be hard work with pushy sales people - but this definitely wasn't the case! Thanks again kat!

Happy travels on George street really makes you happy! Both the people that are working there and also the great deals they give you! They got many different people and companys to collaborate with which gives you an eternity of selections and prices. We were really happy with all of our visits! Also a special appreciation to best man Joe who helped us getting the best deal ever with our camper van and rental car (that we got for free!!!)! You are the greatest! Cheers

Booked our entire east coast trip with Happy Travels. Darragh, Matty & Aaron were incredible and made the process so fun & exciting! We ended up taking longer than expected but they stayed late to help us with everything we needed, which we really appreciated. Even though we were working on a tight schedule, they were able to make every single trip we wanted to experience possible for us :) We will definitely be recommending to other travellers on our route!!

Yesterday I had booked a trip from Cairns to Brisbane, get a lot of information and everything was really detailed explained! Lauren take her time to show me what I can do (with pictures) spoke with me about what I wanna do and what I can do (with my budget) she helps me to make a good plan for some weeks to explore the best part of the north. Thanks so much Lauren! Stay the way you are. You made a perfect job and I feel really safe to book with you!

We booked our entire east coast of Aus trip with Happy Travels in Sydney. We could not of asked for a more helpful, straight forward, informative meeting!! Throughout our trip if we had any queries, calling HT they would have the problem solved within the hour! We even had a HT card that if we present it in any HT along the east coast we got to redeem free meals or fun things to do! A lovely team to plan with, they couldn't be more accommodating.

I came to Australia with basically no plan until I walked past the Happy Travels office in Sydney. I was quite lucky to ran into Adam, who created the most amazing east coast trip for me. The experiences that I’ve made were simply great! Yet, Adam considered my budget and got the very best out of it! Whenever I had a question during my trip he also always responded quickly which I found very helpful! So I can definitely recommend going there!

After living in sydney for a couple of months we decided to plan our trip around Australia. A friend of us mentioned happy travels and we are very happy that we went there. We just walked in and a very friendly employee (Noel) helped us out. He took a lot of time to show us all the options in different price classes and gave some personal advise about places to visit. Definitely recommended if you want a friendly and clear booking process.

I recently used Happy Travels for my campervan rental needs and I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Eefke. From the moment I contacted her, her friendliness and willingness to help made the entire process stress-free. She took the time to understand my needs and helped me find the perfect campervan for my trip. I would highly recommend Happy Travels and Eefke's services to anyone looking for a campervan rental.

One of my friends booked her Australia trip with Eefke at Happy Travels. She recommended her to me as well. It was so helpful as it was all in Dutch and she explained every single thing so clear. Knew exactly what to expect at my trip and she managed to include all the things that had been on my list to do in Australia for such a long time. Very glad she was able to help me and make this my dream trip that I’ll never forget!

So happy with Happy Travels!! I went to different places but when I came to Happys I knew it was right straight away. The vibe was just amazing. Matilda planed my trip and she was just the best. Showed me so many cool places and explained all the different options. Showed real interest in my trip and was so helpful. And I still can't believe the good price!!! I highly recommend everyone to go to Matilda she's awesome!!

Happy travels Sydney is literally the best place to book your travels. They gave me advises where to go and how long to stay at each place. Moreover you can be sure that they are honest and don’t sell you stuff you don’t really want. First I was a little bit pesimestic , but after I did my trip down the east coast I can promise you it’s worth the money !!! Had the best time of my life, make sure you don’t miss it.

Me and my friend Ella was in Sydney and wanted to travel east coast but didn’t had an plan for our trip. So glad that we walked across happy travels and Ross could plan the whole trip for us. He was very good at service and is very good at his job! We planned 6 weeks together from Adelaide to Cairns. So much to do and see and so comfortable to have accommodation and tours booked. Would highly recommend

I booked my Kiwi Experience with Happy Travels. I went into the shop with no knowledge of New Zealand or what exactly I wanted to do apart from fact that I had to go in next week and trip was to last approximately 2 weeks. Met Nicola who took me through my options and explained everything thoroughly to me whilst showcasing what expect to see. Couldn't have been happier with my trip. New Zealand has everything

Had the best experience at Happy Travels, Jack is amazing he planned our whole east coast trip and tailor made it to suit our budget and ideas. He made the experience so effortless and we are so excited to go! We got quotes from everywhere and 5 minutes into talking to Jack and we knew we wanted to book with Happy Travels. Would recommend highly and we can't wait to book our New Zealand trip with you guys!

I came in with a friend to book a 5 week trip up the east coast, but was a tricky booking as we had a friend potentially joining us halfway. Miguel was amazing and spent over 3 hours with us organising everything and giving us great advice. Our friend was unsure about whether to come and took the time to talk through her concerns and be honest about everything with her. Deserves a 6 star rating

Nothing but endless love for this agency!! Matilda with her glowing positive energy booked my 5 weeks east coast trip exactly how I wanted it and met all my needs spot on, accommodations, trips, travel schedule and price, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Highly highly recommend that place and especially her! Thank you happy travels and Mathilda for the adventure of my life ❤️☀️

Franzi helped me plan the rest of my trip in Aus ! She gave me heaps of suggestions and tips, made the whole process really easy and went out of her way to help me figure out the best way to organize the rest of my journey. She was super sweet and really helpful! The rest of the team was also really nice and helpful. I would recommend happy travels to anyone looking to plan their trip in Aus !

Lauren from happy travels went above and beyond for myself and 2 friends. She even stayed after she was done her shift to help us!She helped us plan and book 3 weeks up the east coast. She found us some great deals and gave us a lot of good feedback on where to stay and for how many days etc. If you’re looking for someone who knows Australia and the places to go head to see Lauren!

Thank you to Matty for helping me out the other day. Was very helpful and knowledgeable for my trip to the Great Barrier Reef. He made sure that I got the best deals and personally called the places that I wanted to get. I’ve already been back to him to book a rental car for a few days. Can’t thank him enough for his service and would 100% recommend booking through happy travels.

During my trip in Australia, Eefke from Happy Travels Sydney really helped me out a lot. She recommended great tours, which helped a lot because I was really doubting between all options/possibilities. Absolutely loved my Fraser Island (Palace) and Whitsundays (Prosail) tour, definitely highlights that had been on my bucket list! I am definitely recommending Happy Travels Sydney!

We arrived to Sydney and looked for a reliable company to book all the attractions along the east coast. We've met Joe, and with his kind help we built an estimated itinerary for our 35 days travel. He has provided the best prices he could do for us, and ofcurse more than that, his professionalism was outstanding. Would use it again in the future. Thanks guys for everything.

Matty from Happy Travels helped us plan our whole trip in Australia - and also in New Zealand! He talked us through every scenario and spent hours, helping us plan - would def recommend for anybody looking for a sparring, a little inspiration or help in getting the most out of their time in Australia! Bonus for the great playlist, would come back just for the vibes

I was in Australia for quite a while, had just done my east coast but still wanted to go visit Melbourne and the west coast. Eefke sorted my whole trip, booked all my accommodation, transport and trips. Really glad she helped me out as I’m a terrible planner myself. Saved me a lot of stress and had such a good trip. Made friends for a lifetime and the best memories.

Aaron helped me plan my entire east coast trip and got me better deals than I’ve found anywhere else online. Since I went at peak season and I did minimal planning ahead of time, much of what I wanted to do was booked up. Aaron somehow got me into amazing tours and hostels despite how crazy full everything was. Happy travels definitely made my trip unforgettable!

I came to Australia with No plan and No intention to plan anything for my east coast trip, but everything happend to be Selling out Quickly, and if i hadnt found happytravels id probably be homeless. Im so happy Aaron found me on the street and informed me, and helped me put together the Ultimate east coast travel plan for my trip specifically! Thank you Aaron

Just recently booked an east coast trip through Happy Travels, helped by Eefke. She was so lovely and helpful, I’m tempted to book another trip just to get to speak to her again! Sometimes I pass by George street just to see if she is working. I’ve figured out her schedule and see her 9/10 times I walk past now! Great service, can’t wait for my trip. So keen.

I can’t speak highly enough of all the staff who were super friendly. Matty was looking after me and helped me plan the trips i really wanted to do along the east coast. First class service and a really nice guy, would 100% recommend to anyone who isn’t quite sure on what they want to do when travelling or aren’t quite sure how exactly to do it. Thanks Matty!

Had already visited a happy travels in Cairnes which was a great experience so thought we would come back to happy travels again. Noel, who we spoke to, had a lot of knowledge about our journey we wanted to do and was able to answer all of our questions. We also considered a camper van which he encouraged and was able to find a fantastic price. Thanks again.

I had the most great experience with this agency!!! A really lovely helpfull girl Eefke spoke to me on George Street in Sydney (excellent english). We got a long very well, and I told her that I wanted to travel up North but I did not know where to go. She was so helpfull making a plan and get the best offers. It ended up to be the best trip I ever made :)

My family will come visit me in Sydney. I wanted to surprise them and plan some trips. Managed to book everything through Eefke. Booked several day trips departing from Sydney and booked Fraser Island, Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef along the coast. I can’t wait for them to get here and take them to all these beautiful places. Thanks a lot Eefke!

Myself and my friends booked an East Coast Trip through Eefke and it was absolutely incredible! We were so impressed with not only her professionalism but her friendliness too. She really helped us throughout. The whole trip was an unforgettable experience and we're incredibly grateful towards Eefke for helping this become a dream holiday!

I had never tried to book a trip with Happy travels before, and my first experience was awesome. They are very helpful, kind and they want to make the most out of your budget! Just ask for Josue and you won't be disappointed, this gentleman knows everything about Australia and helped me plan my DREAM trip! Thanks Josue and Happy travels

Got to Australia with no plan. Walked by George st and thank god I ran into Eefke. She told me about availabilty and how busy it is this time of the year. Somehow she managed to plan my whole east coast trip and still found available tours for all the must sees. So thankful for her help, would not have been able to do this without her!

Just booked my East Coast Trip with Maddie! Honestly Happy Travels is amazing !! I feel so excited ! Thank you Maddie! I would definitely book here again ! After been in all the other Travel Agency on George Street, i finally feeled like someone is not just after the money. They literally know everything and got the best prices !!!

Couldn’t be happier with my experience here! Maddie’s positive energy was contagious and made us so excited for our trip! She made all the planning really easy and took the stress out of it all, she sorted out all our travel and accommodation. Would definitely book here again, thank you so much Maddie for all your hard work!

Had a great experience dealing with Joe. He hooked us up with an epic East Coast trip that was cheaper than anything we'd looked into previously. He also gave us some great tips for our upcoming New Zealand trip. I'd recommend to any backpackers looking for a personalized trip that will fit within your budget. Shaka brah :)

I went to Fraser Island with happy travels and thanks to Josephine's help, it was amazing! She was very helpful and gave us all the information we need to know so we didn't have any problems once there and it all went a better than I expected. I'm already planning my new trip to NZ with her. So excited for what's coming!!

Super nice people! Especially Matilda who spent over 3 hours to plan the best trip ever!! She showed me the best places to go to and booked everything for me. The only thing I do is enjoy :D. Her colleges often passed by and told me about their experiences as well. I can just recommend to book your trip at happy travels!

We got amazing help from Josephine and the rest of the crew! She planed our trip so well out of ours wishes and budget, and she booked everything; transport, accommodation and activities! She found the best deals and gave us lots of tips and recommendations! Truly reccomend everyone to go get help from this company!!

Sofia from happy travels in Sydney properly sorted us out. She helped us book our whole Australia trip. She was really helpful and friendly and booked us a really good trip. They also have a really great playlist (made by Sofia). But yea they were really helpful and was a great service all in all. Would reccomend.

Noel did a great job. We only had a few weeks, but with his help we made a scheduled plan which was perfect. Nice atmosphere in the Happy travels Shop. We had a great time in Australia with very good Trips, booked by happy travels. Great Barrier, Fraser, Whitsunday, Blue Mountains. It was awesome!! Thanks a lot!

So glad decided go in there and asked what they offer. Aaron welcomed me and we went through my bucket list ending up booking a 5 week east coast trip from Cairns to Byron Bay. He definitely booked me the right hostels and i’ve been to every place i wanted to see. For real a once in a life time trip! 6/5

Wow I couldn’t be happier with my experience here! Emily’s energy was amazing and made me so excited for our trip! She made all the planning really easy and took the stress out of it all, she sorted out everything for me. I would definitely book here again, thank you so much Emily! You are fantastic.

Had been dreaming to do a trip of east Australia for a while and Eefke's, not only professionalism and knowledge, but friendliness really made our east coast travels the trip of a lifetime! So extremely grateful for her help and would recommend to anyone considering booking some travels. Thank you!

Great service here at Happy Travels. We made a large booking including Fraser Island, Whitsundays, Scuba Training and Skydiving which all went off without a problem and generally very good service. Kyle was very helpful and knowledgable on all the above to make things easy for us. Highly recommend.

I booked the east coast with joe he was great and so helpful. I feel like we got a great deal when talking to other travellers. Thinking of doing NZ and will definitely come back to Happy travels to book. You also feel like you can go into any of the happy travels stores in Australia! So great!

We had the best experience at Happy Travels. A big thank you to amazing Lauren who helped us finding our car even before we got to Australia and who planned our whole trip with us. We are really excited to start this amazing trip. We gonna have the best time thanks to Happy Travels and Lauren!

We had the pleasure to work with Kat who we found to be very knowledgeable, helpful as well as prompt and courteous. She helped us build a month long tailor made itinerary, which we are eager to experience. Thank you Kat! We have every confidence our travel experience will be exciting.

I would absolutely recommend it! Eefke helped me book a trip for the East Coast. I could not have wished for a better trip. She gave me lots of tips and arranged great hostels and activities for me. Without her great help it would not have been the same experience. Thanks again Eefke!

Absolutely brilliant. Helped us plan our four week intinerary from Sydney to Cairns and saved loads of money through their help. They gave great advice and weren’t pushy with anything, would recommend them to anyone planning their travels! Big shout out to Joe for his help, legend.

If you’re visiting Byron Bay, check out Happy Travels. Chris & Spencer are an awesome team with a friendly approach to helping you while you’re visiting Byron Bay. I’ll definitely be recommending them and using them myself when I’m lucky enough to be back in Australia …

The happy travels staff was very professional and helped us a lot planning our trip on the East Coast. We got a really good deal including some amazing tours! Joe and his collegues were incredibly helpful and supported us with all kind of problems! A big thank you, again!

I love Maddie, she's the most amazing girl I've ever met! She made my east coast trip the best ever! She sorted EVERYTHING out I didn't have to worry about a thing! if you're gonna travel in Australia, don't make a mistake, do it with maddie!!!! She will make it perfect!

Noel at Happy Travels in Sydney helped us a lot with our trip! We booked several trips with his help. He was really nice and welcoming, like a good friend helping us planning the trips and getting the most out of our holiday! Thanks! I can totally recommend this office!

Happy Travels, and especially Matilda, has really helped me and my friend create our dream trip! It would not have been possible without her and we are so excited. I would really recommend Happy Travels to everyone who is looking for great help and recommendations!!!

Booked a surf camp in Spot X and some nights in Surf House in Byron through Happy Travels. Eefke was so friendly, patient and explained all the products to me. Had an amazing time, learned how to surf and met friends for a lifetime. Would definitely recommend!

Booked majority of my trips through Happy Travels Sydney, and had a great time on all of them. Felt that Lauren did a great job on getting me trips which suit my personality and what I wanted to get out of my east coast trip. Can’t recommend highly enough!

We came to book a camper van for the east coast in Australia and ended up booking trips and activities for 2 whole months in Australia and 1 month in New Zealand. Would definitely recommend coming here, Lauren is the best! She got us so many good deals :)

Thank you for helping us plan out this awesome trip Mark Leedham of happy travels in Sydney, any information we’ve need you’ve been very fast in helping us out.So far it been as good as you said it was and I can’t wait to carry on this journey.

Just recently booked my East Coast trip through Happy Travels with Eefke. Cannot recommend enough. Thorough breakdown and explanation of the activities chosen, really pleasant and easy experience. Looking forward to my trip. Thank you …

We got an amazing offer with Happy Travels. Joe and Lauren couldn’t have done enough for us. Our trip was tailored to exactly what we wanted and we are looking forward to heading off on our 4 week trip tomorrow! Thank you Happy Travels!!

I just need to give Matilda at Happy Travels 5 of 5 stars!! She was so happy, had a lot of energy and was really passionated about all the things she showed me. I'm so happy that I booked my east cost with her, it has been amazing!!

Matt helped my mates and I massively for our east coast trip. We had no plan for the coast and he sorted us out with the best route, tours and places to go all the way down. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, trip of a lifetime!

This is a great tour company who really helped us plan our east coast trip!! A lot of knowledge and recommendations, we’d be lost without them!! Booked all the hostels and activities for us! Great service, thank you Aaron!!

Really good service and helpful staff! We booked our east cost trip with a swedish girl named Matilda, she has a lot of happy energy and we couldn't be more excited for our trip thanks to her. We rate her 10/10 stars!

Dedicated team. Maddie took great care of us. She met our expectations and guided us patiently through the choices we had. Communication and information were clear and thorough. I had a happy travel. Thank you.
