Top Sydney Skiing

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.

Experience the thrill of tandem skydiving with a professional instructor over North Wollongong Beach beach, located just south of Sydney. Safely attached to your skydiving instructor, jump at 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) and feel the adrenaline rush of a 60-second freefall before the parachute opens and you glide down to earth. This small-group experience limits the numbers to nine people, ensuring customized attention from your instructor.

Located on the shoreline of Sydney Harbour, Sydney Taronga Zoo is home to thousands of fascinating animals, including Australian natives such as the koala, kangaroo, and platypus. Check the schedule for daily keeper presentations, or book an animal encounter or guided tour (own expense) for a more in-depth experience.

Pass on another predictable night out in Sydney and book tickets to the city's only all-male cabaret show. Enjoy a high-energy spectacle featuring sharp choreography, dynamic lighting, and crowd-pleasing performances. Instead of waiting in line or worrying about sold-out dates, secure your spot in advance and settle in for an evening of great music and live entertainment.
