Boys Trip Bathurst 1000 Travel PackagesOur campervan package is for the fans that want to roll out of bed and be able to smell the burning rubber and you can’t get any closer to the action than camping on Mount Panorama. If this sounds like you, this package has everything you’ll need.

Depart AKL/WLG/CHC (regional connections available) on Tuesday 8th October, arriving in Sydney and spending that night at the 4-Star Mantra 2 Bond Street. That night you’ll get to meet other Boys Trip clients at our Drinks & Nibbles Welcome Function. The next day pick up your Maui Campervan, either a 2-Berth (with 1 double bed OR 2 single beds) or a 6-Berth (with 3 double beds) and take the 3-hour drive through to Bathurst. You’ll spend 5 nights at your own allocated campsite on Mount Panorama, just a short walk from the track. On Monday 9th, you’ll pack up the campervan and drive back to Sydney, returning the campervan and staying another night at Mantra 2 Bond Street, before flying back home on Tuesday 15th October.

If you would prefer one of their other fare types, ‘Seat Only’ (no check in baggage, no meals) or ‘Seat and Bag’ (no meals), ‘Premium Economy’ or ‘Business Class’ then just let us know and we can take care of this for you.

ALL DRIVERS MUST BE 21 YEARS OR OLDER.

Campsites
There are five different camping ground options available, please specify on your quote request form your desired camping ground. Please note that with the campsites being on Mount Panorama this does mean that a lot of the sites are on sloping ground, while we will endeavour to secure the best campsites available, we are unable to change the geography of the campsites. Campsite options are; 

  • McPhillamy Park
  • Sulman and Reid Park
  • Max Cameron
  • The Chase
  • Enduro

All campsite are non-powered. Campsites are approximately 10m x 8m. All camping grounds have toilet and shower amenities, but not cooking facilities. Please note, while we will do our best, we cannot always guarantee your first choice of campsite.

Sydney Accommodation 
Boys Trip prefer to use Mantra Hotels and our accommodation in Sydney is at the Mantra 2 Bond Street Hotel in Sydney City, this is a 4-Star property, which features a heated rooftop pool, spa, 24 hour reception, gym, restaurant, bar and room service. Take your choice from;

  • Executive Studio Room (King bed or two single beds)

Tickets 
Our Campervan Package includes 4-Day General Admission tickets (with Paddock Pass access) to the 2024 Bathurst 1000. You can opt to upgrade to a 4-Day Pit Straight Grandstand ticket (extra $260 per person) or a 4-Day Mountain Straight Grandstand ticket (extra $280 per person). The Mountain Straight Grandstand is the only covered grandstand. Grandstand tickets are only available in 4-Day passes, you cannot purchase single day grandstand passes. The Paddock Pass gives you a behind the scenes look at where all the action takes place. From inside the Paddock, you can see the teams working in the garages, the amazing purpose built team transporters and maybe even grab an autograph. Corporate Hospitality is also available, which includes a full food and beverage service.

Transfers 
Included in the package are transfers from Sydney International Airport to Mantra 2 Bond Street on the 8th and from the hotel to Sydney Airport on the 15th. It does not include transfers to and from Mantra 2 Bond Street to the Maui Campervan Rentals Depot (located in Taren Point, about 35 minutes from the city). We can arrange transfers to and from the Rentals Depot if you wish, however we find that with a small group, it’s cheaper to just get a taxi.

Insurance 
We include Cover More 'YourCover' Travel Insurance with our packages. If you already have made arrangements for travel insurance, let us know. If you wish to know more about our Cover More Travel Insurance, let us know and we can e-mail you a brochure.
