  • When you are ready to move on, you call the Easyrider bus office to book a seat and jump back on the bus. (Advanced bookings can be made if you prefer - and Holidays Allover would recommend you do this during busy times)!
  • The Easyrider bus will then come through and pick you up from your hostel!

For those of you with less time, you can choose from their 3, 4, 6, 7, or 11 day bus tours which pack in as much as possible without forcing you to 'scratch the surface.'
