Active adventure travel

Adventure travel is a phrase that covers a lot of territory – and can be hard to define…but generally these trips offer a variety of outdoor oriented trips for the more adventurous traveler interested in outdoor activities and with a reasonable level of fitness…Trips are guided by experienced escorts and often go the more remote, rarely-visited Australian destinations.

Often you won't need to be experienced to undertake the activities offered - as the accompanying well-trained guides will make sure you enjoy the experience. The accommodation offered will vary widely on this type of tour and the emphasis is placed on interaction with the environment and with the "locals".
Active adventure tours may place the emphasis on a specific activity or make available as options any of the following:

• Ballooning Trips
• Bicycle Touring / Cycling
• Climbing Trips
• Camel Riding Safaris
• Caving Trips
• Hiking-/ Trekking / Walking Tours
• Horse and Carriage Trips
• Horse riding / Horseback Riding
• Motorcycle Tours
• Sea Kayaking / Canoeing

 Ballooning tours

As a booking agent for a number of Australian hot air ballooning companies offering hot air balloon rides or ballooning tours, we can advise you about the experience... and book your balloon flight in a number of different flying areas within Australia.

 Cycling tours

Road cycling tours in Australia, mountain bicycle tours and tailor-made cycling holidays are all available in Australia.

Australia's outback encompasses a large unspoiled land mass with great scenery, but involves long cycling distances in the more remote parts of the country... not what some people would call "ideal" bicycle touring terrain... In these regions, operators offering bicycle tours combine mountain cycling with four wheel driving in order to cater for biking adventurers who are looking for more than just a "bus tour."

Whether you're just beginning or enjoy bicycle touring on a regular basis, your cycling skills and confidence will progress rapidly with the help and tuition available on the bicycle tours offered on our website... If you don't see a tour that fits your plans, just contact us... One of our experienced Aussie specialists will be happy to help you find that unique, hassle-free cycling holiday that's right for you.

 Caving

Interest in caving is growing worldwide... and caving as a sport is growing partially due to the continuing concern for health, fitness and the environment as well as a growing demand for outdoor experiences with an educational purpose. Perhaps the greatest motivation of a caver is the thrill of original discovery. You could go for a full adventure travel holiday and explore cave systems that require yo to crawl through small tunnels, abseil down vertical shafts or maybe even dive under a subterranean ocean. No matter what, you're guaranteed to be blown away by the unusual terrain you'll find under the earth's surface.

The remotest corners of the globe have been observed by satellite technology, yet there is no alternative to personal investigation of caves. Most cavers are drawn by the potential for discovering new caves or finding new extensions to known caves, but some simply enjoy the solitude and beauty of the underground wilderness. Others enjoy the camaraderie of caving which can be a rewarding group activity as the physical and technical challenges can demand concentrated teamwork.

 Camel riding safari

Camel riding is an experience not to be missed... and a camel safari trek into AUstralia's outback is an opportunity for the adventurous to travel through some of the most beautiful areas of the country.

Camel safaris in Australia can be as little as an overnight excursion or up to a six day safari trek.

Camels were first introduced into Australia around 1840 with approximately 10,000 camels being imported with their Afghan handlers over the succeeding years... As rail and road transport gradually replaced the need for camels, they were released into the wild and now number over 700,000, giving Australia the largest wild camel population in the world.

 Hiking

You have a wide choice of walking holidays from a number of specialists in guided and self guided walking tours... There is something for people of every walking ability from introductory walking to outback trekking... So slip on your socks and Blundstone boots and put your best foot forward and choose one of the hiking tours available.

Experienced outdoor operators know the safest way for you to enjoy a quality Australian walking holiday... Some of them will even carry your pack... Many of Australia's best walking tours are in national parks... Be guided through a tropical rainforest or across the ridges of an uninhabited mountain range or experience the remote wilderness of the Australian outback.

Walking tours for every level of experience and difficulty are available.
