How Backpacker Deals is Leading the Charge in Accessible Travel

Who says physical challenges should hold anyone back from traveling and having a good time? Not us! And Australia's tourism industry agrees! That's right, tours and activities in Australia are now more accessible than ever before, meaning everyone can experience the joys of travel.

At Backpacker Deals, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore and experience the beauty of Australia, regardless of their physical abilities. That's why we are committed to offering a range of accessible tours and activities that cater to the needs of all travellers.

Accessible Experiences at Backpacker Deals

One of our top accessible experiences is the Great Barrier Reef Experience in Cairns. This incredible adventure allows wheelchair users to explore the reef in a glass-bottom boat, making it accessible for everyone to witness the vibrant marine life of the Great Barrier Reef.

Another popular experience is the Phillip Island Penguin Parade Tour in Melbourne. This tour allows wheelchair users to view the penguins from a raised platform, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this magical event.

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, our Whitsunday Skydive is a must-do. This experience caters to wheelchair users, offering a specially designed harness that allows them to safely experience the thrill of skydiving.

Accessible Accommodation

At Backpacker Deals, we also understand the importance of accessible accommodations. That's why we love working with a range of accessible accommodation suppliers across Australia, including the award-winning YHA hostels. These hostels are designed to cater to the needs of all travellers, with wheelchair-accessible facilities and rooms available.

Sites like www.disabledholidays.com are also a great resource for those seeking accessible accommodation, making planning your next experience that little be easier!

Accessible Transportation

Transportation can also be a barrier to travel for those with disabilities. That's why we work with accessible transportation providers to ensure that our travelers can get from point A to point B with ease. Our partners at Tropic Wings Cairns Tours provide wheelchair-accessible transport, ensuring that everyone can experience the beauty of the Cairns region.

Accessible tourism truly is such an important part of the travel industry, and we are proud to be leading the charge in Australia. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to explore and experience the beauty of Australia, regardless of their physical abilities. So, whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, Backpacker Deals has a range of accessible tours, activities, accommodations, and transportation options that cater to your needs.
