Kayaking, Gold Coast, Queensland; Skydiving, Peel & Rockingham, Western Australia

Whatever sport you’d like to try, this is your ideal opportunity. There’s so much for you to do!

Australia’s love affair with oceans and rivers translates into an extraordinary array of aquatic activities – from kayaking and surfing to the more sedentary pleasures of fishing and cruising.

On dry land, Australia’s huge distances provide unique opportunities for walking, running, cycling and driving. Join the annual 14km City-to-Surf fun run in Sydney, walk the tracks in our many national parks, or set out on an intercity cycle ride – Australia has the space to let you cut loose.

Some of Australia’s most extreme ways to enjoy yourself take place above the ground. Skydive over beautiful countryside, take a helicopter ride, or try a bungy jump! Prefer something more serene? Experience parasailing over golden beaches, or a balloon ride across beautiful bushland or rugged Outback.
