Sydney to Canberra coach charter

About 285 km and around three hours each way, the most popular interstate charter from Sydney.

The route

The drive runs south west on the Hume Motorway, then onto the Federal Highway past Lake George into Canberra. It is around 285 km from the Sydney CBD, roughly three hours in normal conditions, with a comfort stop on the way.

Who books it

  • School tours to Parliament House and the national institutions
  • Sporting teams heading to ACT competitions
  • Corporate and government groups attending meetings and conferences
  • Touring groups visiting the capital’s galleries and museums

Day trip or overnight

Canberra works as a long day trip, but an overnight stay lets your group see far more. We can keep the coach with you for the whole visit, moving between accommodation and venues.
