Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel has new mascots! 2 kittens called Dudley and Georgie joined the team of Esplanade Backpackers, Hostel89 and Jimmy’s and welcome backpackers with a big meeoww;). They were found by the management and are now involved in the every day business of this Cairns backpackers.

Guests’ response:

They all just love them. Nobody can ignore them really when playing behind the reception or sitting on the desk welcoming everybody into the Cairns youth hostel. They are only 7 weeks old and soooooooo cute.

Staff response:

We enjoy the kittens’ company every day and appreciate their help in messing up the desk and office here at Esplanade Backpackers ;). So the training will take a little while as it is sometimes with new staff…;).

So come meet our new staff while checking in or booking a tour with us here at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Cairns.

On Saturday the 23rd of August Nomads Fusion Backpackers Hostel, Auckland took it’s international backpackers to the match Auckland - Manawatu. That’s not all though…for only $30 they got a nice brunch at the Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel (just down the road) and 2 beers.

Recently the staff of Nomads Esplanade Backpackers and Cairns Beach House Backpackers were lucky enough to experience an afternoon of sailing with Prosail from the beautiful Whitsundays area. Allen and his team have over 25years of sailing experience, which made for a very knowledgeable and fun filled day.

After a short talk to let us Cairns backpackers know about the different vessels that the company has, it was time to go out on the water. Even though the weather was quite bad and windy the team really knew what they were doing. It wasn’t until we were safely docked did we then find out that most of the crew were conducting their Intro to Yachtmasters Course which is a 23 day program on offer.

If you love sailing and are looking to have some real fun in the process then why not come to Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Backpackers Hostel and talk to our friendly tour staff to discuss the option that would suit you best.

It was yet again another free event put on by Westend Backpackers Hostel, one of Sydney’s premiere youth hostels. Westend Backpackers Hostel Sydney offers free activities everyday of the week and with its central location it is just a short bus ride to the beach.  

The sun was shining there were whales in the ocean the scenery could not have been better.  The free BBQ for 70 people went as planned but there were a few unexpected guests in the ocean!!! Two whales were seen frolicking in the ocean less than 50 meters from the shore!!! It was an unbelieveable sight and was part of yet again a great day on the beach in Sydney.

Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel & Bar is extremely pleased to be hosting the incredibly talented Zoh Zoh in The Fat Camel Bar on Saturday the 30th August.

The last time they played in The Fat Camel Backpackers Bar, the place went off! So, by popular demand we’ve invited them back to entertain the masses again. This time they’ll be playing on Saturday night from 9.30pm (after the rugby has finished) and they’ll be followed by our very own DJ Breezin’.

The entrance price is an extremely reasonable $5 (unless you’re staying at Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel or our sister hostel up the road Nomads Fusion Backpackers Hostel, for you international backpackers the entrance price is a gold coin only!)

For more information call  on 0800 220 198 or email us.
