Pumicestone Chase

When Tom from our BugBitten team took this Pumicestone Chase ride, he expected a noisy blast on the water and came away with a much better sense of the place. The tour covers the full length of the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park, from Bribie Island down to Caloundra, and takes around four hours on a jet ski. A qualified guide leads the group through narrow, winding channels that feel more like a hidden waterway than a busy stretch of coast. The backdrop is the Glasshouse Mountains, a line of volcanic peaks rising above the flats, and they give the trip its character from the first kilometre. The passage has a relaxed, sheltered feel, and you'll share it with other boats, so it's easy to slow down and enjoy the scenery between the faster stretches. Tom's verdict was that the landscape holds its own alongside the speed, and that the mix of cruising and open-throttle moments keeps the ride interesting from start to finish.

Southern Highlands Full-Day Wine Tour

A guided day through the Southern Highlands' wine country, visiting 4–5 producers across 7–8 hours. Start with a welcome glass, then move between established wineries, small family operations, craft breweries, and distilleries, sampling local drops and nibbling a shared tasting platter. The rolling green landscape shifts with seasons—winter fireplaces, spring gardens, summer vineyards in action, autumn foliage—all within 90 minutes of Sydney or Canberra.

Cairns City: 1 Hour Guided Jet Ski Crocodile Spotting Tour

When Ben from our team took the Trinity Inlet Jet Ski Adventure, we found ourselves tearing through mangrove creeks on individual skis with a qualified guide steering the action. It's a 1-hour blast out of Cairns marina — the kind of thing that gets your adrenaline up fast.

Personalized Barossa Valley Wine Tour with Premium Tastings

When Tom from our BugBitten team ran this Barossa Valley wine tour, we got a genuine feel for what a tailored experience looks like. This is a 6–8 hour private outing built around your actual wine tastes, hitting everything from storied cellar doors to smaller producers most tourists miss. You're driven door-to-door through rolling vineyard country with a local guide who actually knows the region's history and can read what you're after.

Roof Bungy at Skypark Cairns by AJ Hackett

When Noah from our team tried the Roof Bungy at Skypark Cairns, he got two jumps for the price of — a standard leap and AJ Hackett's signature running roof bungy, the only one of its kind on Earth. You're launching from 53 metres above World Heritage rainforest, which genuinely feels different from a static jump platform. The whole thing takes about three hours, and Cairns location means you're minutes from the city but surrounded by proper tropical bush.

Rottnest Island Fortress Adventure Segway Package from Fremantle

When Jake from our team tried this, he started the day on the Fremantle wharf and rode the SeaLink ferry out to Rottnest Island, the low, sandy island just off the coast that most Perth locals know as a holiday spot for quokka selfies and bike rides. This eight-hour package swaps the pedals for a Segway built for rougher ground, taking you off the sealed roads and along the island's bays, beaches and old military sites. Rottnest has a relaxed, slightly salty feel: families, retirees, and couples on day trips all share the same sandy paths, and the pace is set by the bikes and buggies rather than cars. Jake found the island easy to read once you're on it, with clear routes and plenty of spots where the group can pull over and take a breather. The tour wraps up back at Kingstown Barracks, leaving you free time for the rest of the afternoon before the ferry home.
