Active Adventure

Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, abseil off Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, or hot air balloon over the green vines of wine country.

Packed with plenty of enormous national parks and laced by the Pacific and Indian Oceans, opportunities to have a dream Australia active adventure vacation are around every corner. 

Blessed with a mosaic of landscapes and more World Heritage-listed wilderness areas than you can shake a snorkel at, you’ll be positively spoiled for choice, and poised for the adventure of a lifetime. 

In the Australian outback, hop a kayak to paddle through red river gorges, or climb an age-old rock escarpment to reveal storied Aboriginal artwork. 

In Brisbane, climb to the top of the iconic Story Bridge, and take in the view before abseiling the other side. 

Four-wheel drive on the beaches of Queensland, sail the best waters in the Southern Hemisphere in the Whitsundays and snorkel with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef. 

Don’t forget – Australia’s well known for its surf scene, and the gorgeous Gold Coast is the perfect place to catch a break. .
