Lock in a great price for Tropic Days Backpackers – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Super friendly stuff that. Helped me finding a good coral reef cruise even at 11pm after a day road trip. They organize every day something to help a bit of community among back packers. Nice common area, and two kitchen and free sunscreen even 😉 Very convenient free shuttle to bring you to the ferry terminal and beach!

The atmosphere is so damn cool, the staff was super friendly, all in all one of my best hostel stays by now

Moritz, Germany

It's was clean and the staff is very friendly. We enjoyed the free shuttle services into the town.

Irene, Netherlands

The warm welcoming feeling great staff and family vibe

Talia, Australia

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Helped us organise tours etc. They run a shuttle bus into town for free which is very handy. The whole hostel had a good feel about it and very friendly with multiple communal areas to cook and chill out.

Oliver, United Kingdom

If you are on foot, it may be a bit harder on logistic (They have free shuttle to the center, but is something to consider)
