Pacific Rallies
If you are planning on cruising through Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu & New Caledonia before sailing to Australia – I recommend you join our more comprehensive Pacific Rally which includes a lot more information for cruising in the Islands. We can tailor a package to suit your requirements. You can find all the details here.
Go West to Australia Rally
Australia is a stunning cruising destination and is a must stop on your South Pacific voyage. Arrive in Bundaberg, a safe place to arrive and clear in to Australia and then day-hop your way down the coast, explore K’gari the largest sand island in the world, visit Brisbane and Moreton Bay, a great place to fly home for Christmas, the stunning Gold Coast, and then head further south, Iluka Clarence River, Port Stephens, Pittwater, Sydney – a great place to watch the start of the Sydney Hobart and the incredible fireworks for New Year’s Eve, then further south down to Tasmania.
Then work your way back up the coast – from here you have options! Head across the Tasman to New Zealand, join us again on the Pacific Rally or head north through tropical North Queensland and on to Indonesia and beyond.
Why Join the Go West Rally?
Navigating your way through the paperwork, biosecurity regulations, visas and changeable weather, can be time-consuming and confusing, so we have put together our Go West package to assist you at every step of the way and ensure a safe, easy and enjoyable arrival in Australia. We’ve partnered with lots of fantastic marinas, boatyards, and other marine businesses who will offer rally participants great service, generous discounts and other inclusions as you cruise up and down the coast.
We’ve done lots of sailing in Australia and have friendly local experts throughout the coastline. We can help answer any questions you may have about sailing in this part of the world and connect you with the best marine services or other locals.
