Purchasing an Oz Experience Pass
Purchasing an Oz Experience pass via this website is simple. You can even print your travel voucher which you need on the bus on day 1.
You can also buy an Oz Experience pass at most travel agencies and hostels throughout Australia and overseas. Oz Experience has offices in Sydney, Cairns, Darwin, Adelaide and Perth. We call them Oz Ex Sites.
Our Oz Experience site crew can help you plan your trip in great detail; they can book your sectors for you; help you with the online booking system, and talk to you about all the great activities ahead on your journeys. If you’re thinking of travelling to the Northern Territory with Adventure Tours our site crew will help you choose the right pass.
Booking Your Pass
You will need to let us know 3 very important things:
- What date you wish to leave on the bus
- Where you want to start from
- And where we pick you up from
You can book your pass by contacting Reservations on 1300 300 028 between 9am and 5pm (AEST) or by managing your booking online. You will only be able to log in after you have purchased a pass
You can also book an open-dated pass. This means you buy now and tell us when you want to start travelling at a later date.
Starting Your Travels
You need to have your "Oz Experience Wristband". This is given to you when you purchase your ticket or from your driver. This wristband will ensure that you are given VIP benefits and hassle free travel.
Choosing a Service
As an Oz Experience pass holder, you will have access to two kinds of services on the East Caost between Sydney and Cairns: Guided and Express. Our Guided services run 3 times a week, every week. These services have a pre-fix 'OZ' before them, e.g. OZ001, OZ002 and have a guide onboard. If you want to meet other Oz Experience travellers, these services are the best choice.
The guides will give you interesting facts about the places you are passing or going to as well as help you with information on tours, experiences and accommodation options available at your next stop and future stops. Call us on 1300 300 028 for more information.
Express East Coast services are regular Greyhound services (upto 4 leaving in each direction every day between Sydney and Cairns), which you can also book. These services have a pre-fix 'GX' in front of them, e.g. GX240, GX420 and so on and are available when you go to book a sector online. These services are all on Luxury coaches,but they do not have a guide on-board. They do offer you flexibility in planning your travel by giving you access to more frequent departures so that your trip can better match your plans.
Your Journey
The months of January through to April are by far our busiest. We recommend you book at least 2-3 or even 4 days ahead to get a seat. More if you’re on a tight schedule. If you’re going to Fraser Island for 3-days, or sailing or any trip for a few days always book your seat before you leave.
If you’re travelling over the Christmas period or intend travelling in this period you need to book EVERYTHING well ahead.
It is your responsibility to book yourself on and off buses. Our guides cannot do it for you.
Timetables
One of the first things you need is one of our Timetables. You can download Timetables from this website. These tell you the days we travel – which depends on high or low season – and the times we depart, and most importantly all the awesome places we go.
