A day trip to the snow from Sydney often means an early wake-up call and long hours on the road. This overnight coach trip to Thredbo maximizes your time on the slopes by traveling while you sleep. Relax in reclining seats en route to the Snowy Mountains, arrive near Jindabyne with coffee and biscuits to warm up, then collect discounted snow gear before heading up to Thredbo. Enjoy a full day of skiing or snowboarding before returning to Sydney that evening, with a dinner stop (own expense) along the way.

Victoria’s favorite ski resort, Mt. Buller lies around a 3-hour drive from Melbourne. Skip the expense of car hire and the hassle of fitting mandatory snow chains and join this convenient tour, with a maximum of 11 travelers in total. You’ll enjoy a guided walk with views of snow-covered trees, but incidentals such as kit hire, ski or snowboard lessons, adult toboggan rental, and lift passes are at your expense.

Go skydiving during your visit to the Gold Coast for an incredible thrill and spectacular views of the city, coast, and Pacific Ocean.

Float gently down to Kirra Beach, one of the beautiful beaches that makes the Gold Coast justifiably famous.

Get set for a wet and wild adventure as you hurtle down the Mulgrave River on a giant tube! Hang on tight as you navigate small rapids and then soak up the scenery as you drift through the rainforest. This fun-filled morning tour includes hotel pick-up and round-trip transport from Cairns, plus around 2 hours of tubing. Best of all: there’s no experience necessary, so everyone can give it a go!

Experience the thrill of falling at over 136 miles (220 kilometers) per hour for up to 60 seconds, before floating for 5-7 minutes above the turquoise waters and pretty coastlines of the Whitsunday Islands. If you’re concerned about safety, relax knowing that the team at Airlie Beach Tandem Skydive includes Australian and world-champion skydivers. Skydiving will always be a memorable experience; make it even better by skydiving in this beautiful location.

Leave Melbourne for a full day of skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing at the Mt Buller ski resort. Ride round-trip in a comfortable private vehicle with your own driver for the 3-hour transfer from Melbourne to the mountain. Stop for rental equipment, then have six hours to play in the snow.
