Small-group tours, day trips, cooking classes and multi-day adventures. Every tour vetted for traveller reviews first.

Private Sydney South Coast and Royal National Park Tour
A private six to ten-hour coastal exploration south of Sydney, centred on Royal National Park and the rugged southern beaches. Travel at your own pace in a climate-controlled vehicle, stopping where the light hits right or a viewpoint catches your eye. Your driver shapes the itinerary around weather, timing, and what your group actually wants to see—no coach timetables, no crowds. Best for couples, families, and anyone keen to discover the coastline beyond the Opera House postcards.

Litchfield Day Tour + Adelaide Croc Cruise
When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this two-day Litchfield outing, it felt like walking into the Top End with someone who actually knows it. Small groups trek through the park's best swimming holes and woodland with a guide who's logged serious years in the bush — the kind of person who stops to explain what you're seeing, not just point. You'll tackle walking trails, soak in natural pools, and (if your group votes for it) catch the Adelaide River croc cruise. Lunch and snacks are sorted. It's intimate enough that guides remember who's who, but you'll need at least six people to make it run.

Savour with Swinging Bridge
A guided tasting at Swinging Bridge winery spanning an hour, led by a sommelier who walks you through the vineyard's provenance and current releases. Each wine comes paired with a chef-prepared canapé, allowing you to taste how flavour and texture work together. The experience suits everyone regardless of fitness level, with full wheelchair access throughout the property and facilities.

eTukTuk Adventure from Shirvington Wines - McLaren Vale
Pedal through McLaren Vale's wine country on an electric tuk-tuk, starting at Shirvington Wines before charting your own course along the Shiraz Trail.

Perfect for couples, mates, or families after a self-guided escape without the group-tour rush.

Sea Acres National Park: Aboriginal cultural tour
A 1.3km guided walk through Sea Acres' coastal rainforest with an Aboriginal ranger who explains how the Birpai people harvested food, medicine and materials from the landscape over thousands of years. The boardwalk loops gently through subtropical bush, stopping at plants still used today. You'll hear Country-based stories that reveal the depth of knowledge required to thrive in this environment. Ninety minutes, minimal fitness required, flat accessible track.

Private Luxury Sydney City Tour - up to 6 guests
A four-hour private tour through Sydney that moves beyond the postcard version. Your guide navigates the city's landmarks and neighbourhoods, explaining how Sydney developed into the cosmopolitan hub it is today. You'll see the recognisable icons of the Harbour—Opera House, Bridge, foreshore—but from angles locals know. Small group (up to six) means flexible routing and proper breathing room at each stop. Light snacks and water included.

Treetops Adventure The Hills Junior Ropes Course
A 2.5-hour aerial course nestled in the Dandenong Ranges, designed for children aged 3–7 to tackle elevated rope challenges, tree swings, and ziplines under parental watch from below.

9 Day Brisbane to Daintree Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef Comfort
A 9-day small-group adventure tracing Queensland's tropical highlights from Brisbane's urban core to the primordial [Daintree rainforest](/places/daintree-rainforest). Fly north to Port Douglas, then work your way through the Whitsundays—snorkeling Whitehaven Beach and the [Great Barrier Reef](/places/great-barrier-reef)—before heading inland to explore ancient rainforest canopy, gorges, and First Nations cultural sites. Boutique accommodation, meals, and all transport included; expect a measured pace with downtime built in.

Dine Outdoors in a Stunning Location, Platter of 100% Delicious Local Produce
Set up at a secluded Australian beach, creek or mountain spot for an outdoor feast built around what's in season locally.

Four hours are travel time, leaving six hours to explore on the ground.

Newcastle: Animal Lovers Tour - Kangaroos, Dolphins & more!
This seven-hour Port Stephens adventure from Newcastle puts you face-to-face with Australia's most recognisable animals.

The day culminates at Oakvale Wildlife Park, where you'll hand-feed kangaroos, quokkas and emus, bottle-feed baby goats, and spend time with koalas. A BBQ lunch rounds out the experience, with return transport from your Newcastle base included throughout.

Penneshaw Wine Tasting Private Day Activity

Sydney South Coast Day Tour Wildlife, Kiama Blowhole, Gerringong
When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this South Coast day tour, we got a solid hit of what makes the region south of Sydney worth the drive. You're bundled into a comfortable, air-conditioned coach with max 21 people, collected from Sydney, and dropped at Symbio Wildlife Park to meet local fauna up close. Then it's coastal stops along Wollongong's cliffs, a detour to Kiama Blowhole (where the ocean does the heavy lifting), and a wander through Gerringong's green, rolling hinterland. It's 10 hours door-to-door, pitched at families and keen walkers keen to mix wildlife and scenery without the self-drive logistics.

Hosted Tour and Iconic Wine Tasting in Adelaide
When Jake from our BugBitten team ran the National Wine Centre's hosted tour in Adelaide, he got the full picture of Australian wine in one tight hour. You walk through the Australian Wine Story, which lays out how the country's 65 regions each do their own thing, then sit down for three reserve wines to taste. The Centre itself is slick and well-organised — the kind of place that attracts serious wine folk and casual drinkers alike. It's a solid intro to what Australian wine actually is, backed up by real tasting, not just talking.

Self Guided Fat Bike Adventure on Noosa North Shore
When Mia from our BugBitten team took this self-guided fat bike ride on Noosa North Shore, we got a straightforward way to see the coastline under our own steam. You catch a ferry across, then pedal along firm sand with GPS guiding the way — no tour guide commentary, no set pace. The bikes are built fat-tyred specifically for beach riding, so even soft patches don't throw you. It's casual, takes 3–4 hours, and works for families and solo riders who want to cruise rather than be shepherded. The North Shore itself is quieter than the main beach strip, with uncluttered views back toward Noosa proper.

Stand-Up Paddle Board Tour in Byron Bay

Private Yarra River Lunch Cruise
A 90-minute private lunch cruise for two on the Yarra River, with a three-course meal prepared by a respected [Melbourne](/places/melbourne) restaurant. You'll have the boat to yourselves, paired with beer and wine selections and soft drinks throughout. The experience covers all fees and includes bottled water. It's an intimate way to see the river without crowds, suited to all fitness levels, though you'll need to arrange your own transport to the departure point.

1 Hour Rental Deluxe Double Sea Kayak
Paddle a locally-built two-person sea kayak designed for stability and minimal weight. This hourly rental includes everything needed for a coastal exploration—kayak, lifejacket, paddle, and a waterproof map—with capacity for extra kit if you're bringing provisions. Infant seats available. Works for paddlers of any fitness level, with public transport nearby for easy access.

2 Day Great Ocean Road Luxury Tour from Melbourne
This 2-day coastal journey stretches across Victoria's most dramatic seaboard, moving beyond the standard hit-and-run itinerary. You'll base yourself in Apollo Bay for the night, allowing proper time at each stop rather than racing between them. Small groups (capped at 11) travel in air-conditioned comfort with a knowledgeable local guide who points out wildlife and navigates you through limestone cliffs, rainforest walks, and the famous stone stacks. Accommodation and water are sorted; meals aren't.

1 Day Perisher Snow Tour

Winery Lunch by Helicopter to Levantine Hill in Yarra Valley
Fly by private helicopter from [Melbourne](/places/melbourne) to Levantine Hill Estate in the Yarra Valley for a four-hour experience combining aerial views with lunch and wine. Your helicopter touches down on the estate's front lawn, where you'll move straight into a five-course shared meal paired with tastings of the vineyard's own wines. Suited to those after something beyond the standard winery visit—the flight spans Melbourne's eastern suburbs, Mount Dandenong, and the valley's patchwork of vineyards en route.

From Yulara: Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon and MacDonnell Range
When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this five-day Red Centre loop, it was genuinely remote—Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, and the MacDonnell Ranges in one hit. You're camping under actual dark skies (swag one night, eco tents the next), hiking ancient gorges, swimming in desert waterholes, and soaking up First Nations stories at Australia's most sacred site. The pace is steady but purposeful; this isn't a coach-window tour. Small groups mean you're not jostling with crowds at sunrise, and the guides know the country—both the geology and the cultural weight of it. Five days is the sweet spot to feel the desert properly without burning out.

Barossa Valley Small Group Wine Tour Max of 8 Guest with Lunch
When Sarah from our BugBitten team ran this Barossa Valley tour, she found something genuinely different from the standard cellar door shuffle. The guide's long-standing relationships with award-winning winemakers mean you're tasting in their actual workspaces, not sitting at a polished counter — talking directly with the people who made what's in your glass. It's capped at 8 guests, which keeps the day relaxed and conversational rather than rushed. You'll taste 7–10 pours at each stop, often straight from barrel or from allocations you won't find on public lists. Lunch is a proper feed at the historic Stockwell Hotel. The whole thing runs 8 hours, door to door, and includes pickup from your accommodation.

Nature Wildlife Grampians Hiking Day Tour
When Lily from our BugBitten team ran this 12-hour Grampians hiking tour, it felt nothing like the cookie-cutter stuff you usually get. The outfit's honest approach—small groups, real guides, proper connection to the landscape—shows in how they've structured the day. You're hitting the Grampians' standout peaks and ridgelines across Victoria's rugged terrain, stopping often enough to actually absorb what you're seeing rather than just ticking boxes. It's designed for people who want walking and nature without the corporate polish.
