Easy Bike Tour - Mt Wellington Summit Descent & Rainforest Ride

Descend Mt Wellington by mountain bike across two distinct rides in four hours. Start with a guided bus ascent to 1270 metres, then tackle a 6 km sealed descent with sweeping views across Tasmania. Follow with an 11 km off-road trail through cool temperate rainforest, where you'll pedal past towering eucalypts, tree ferns, cascades and historic stone aqueducts. A local guide narrates the landscape's ecology and heritage throughout, with a café stop halfway through. Finishes at the Hobart office.

Nocturnal Wildlife Tour from Busselton

Search for nocturnal creatures in Margaret River's protected bushland on this two-hour evening expedition.

You'll leave with a video of your performance.

Fliteboard Gold Coast

Learn to hydrofoil on the Gold Coast with a two-hour session that teaches you to glide silently above the water on a Fliteboard. No wind or swell required—you'll generate your own momentum, making it possible to ride whenever conditions allow. The board's submerged wings lift you clear of the surface as you build confidence under your instructor's guidance. It's accessible to complete beginners yet rewarding enough for seasoned water athletes seeking something genuinely different.

4 Day Wild Tasmania Tour / Wildlife, Nature, Hiking / Inc. Accom

A four-day loop from Hobart that tracks Tasmania's wildest corners on foot and by vehicle. You'll chase platypuses, wombats and wallabies through their natural habitat, stay in lakeside lodges and bush cabins, and tackle serious hikes across Cradle Mountain and down to Wineglass Bay. The small group format—capped at 13 people—means you move at a pace that lets wildlife reveal itself rather than rushing past it. Accommodation, most transport and park entry are sorted; you bring fitness and patience.

30 min Jet Ski Safari

Tear across Gold Coast waterways on a jet ski, weaving past Wave Break Island, through Crab Island and along South Stradbroke's sandy stretches. This 2-hour adventure—anchored by 30 minutes of riding—puts you in control of your own machine while a guide leads the way. You'll cover pristine beaches and sheltered channels at pace, with a professional photographer capturing the spray and grin.

Optus Stadium HALO Roof Climb

Scale the iconic fabric sails of Optus Stadium for unobstructed views across Perth and the Swan River. This 90-minute rooftop walk takes you from Level 5 up a gentle staircase (or lift) to the stadium's highest point, where a 360-degree circuit includes the new western viewing deck. Along the way, a technical guide shares stories of the stadium's engineering and its place on Whadjuk Noongar Country, plus insider details on match-day logistics.

Whitsundays Segway Sunset and Boardwalk Tour with Dinner

Glide along the Whitsunday Bicentennial Boardwalk on a Segway for three hours, trading the usual walking pace for a sleek, motorised two-wheeler. You'll roll from Airlie Beach to Cannonvale with a local guide steering the route, pausing mid-way to tuck into pizza or pasta as the sun dips over the strait.

Half-day options available.

Sunrise Kayak Tour to the Opera House Bridge Views Sydney

When Ben from our BugBitten team paddled out at dawn on Sydney Harbour, the Opera House was still glowing pink against the sky—and we had the water almost to ourselves. This 2-hour kayak tour keeps groups deliberately small and aims to get you closer to the Opera House than most offerings, launching from the same foreshore. You're on the water before the city wakes up, which means clearer views, calmer conditions, and the kind of light photographers dream about. It's a proper working-harbour experience rather than a sightseeing tick-box.

Private Wine and Beverage Tours in Tasmania

Tailor your own Tasmanian wine exploration with a private guide steering you through four distinct touring options across the island's acclaimed regions. Over 7–10 hours, you'll visit cellar doors and producers at your own pace, choosing which vineyards to linger at, where to break for lunch, and what to taste.
