items After a few years of travelling around Australia full-time, these are the experiences that have genuinely stuck with me. The ones that made me pinch myself and think this is why I love exploring this country. From swimming with humpback whales to soa...
I've never found another dolphin swim like this! Dolphins love riding the bow of the boat so this tour pulls you along right there with them. Say hi to my gorgeous friends Blake and Shay if you head out on this one 🐬
Swim with Dolphins
If you're ever going to splurge on a helicopter flight, this is the place to do it! The most magical way to see Uluru 🚁
Sunset Helicopter Flight Over Uluru
I grew up near here and its probably the most popular thing to do on the Mornington Peninsula. These naturally heated geothermal springs are the perfect place to head for a day of pampering and relaxation ♨
Soak in the Peninsula Hot Springs
This was a HUGE bucket list experience for me! You head out to the reef with a huge boat load of people but then they all jump back on the boat and leave you behind - this is when the magic happens! You have the whole pontoon to yourselves (only reef...
Sleep out on the Great Barrier Reef
There's not many places in the world where you can swim with these gentle giants! The Ningaloo Reef in WA is the place to do a tour between the months of March-August 🐋
Swim with Whale Sharks
There's no better way to see the Whitsundays Islands than by sail boat. I went on the Atlantic Clipper in my early 20's and it was so much fun but here's a bunch of options so you can choose your vibe ⛵️
Sail the Whitsundays
If you're visiting Uluru, you NEED to book in for this magical dinner under the stars. You'll start with canapes and sparkling wine overlooking Uluru at sunset before a bush-tucker inspired dinner under the stars ✨
Uluru Sounds of Silence Dinner
This one is a bit out of my price range at the moment but OMG! It is soo high on my bucket list. A must do for anyone visiting Broome. I think they might be stopping tours here soon too so get in while you can (need to take my own advice!) 💦
Adventure Day at Horizontal Falls
One of only two bridges you can climb in Australia's cities. Try and book the sunset climb! 🌉
Climb Brisbane's Story Bridge
The only train I've been on where you can hang your legs off the side! Such a beautiful old steam ride through the Dandenong Ranges. Less than an hour from Melbourne city 🚂
Ride the Puffing Billy Railway
I've personally done the hot air balloon ride over the Avon Valley which was magic! They do it during canola season so the farms below you are bright yellow. I'd love to do the flight over Melbourne at sunrise though or the one in Alice Springs 🎈
Go on a Hot Air Balloon Ride
Everyone's heard of Bondi Beach but did you know you can learn to surf here?! I am absolutely hopeless and still have never stood up on a surfboard so good luck to anyone giving it a go! 🏄🏼♂️
Surf Bondi Beach
I can't even tell you how special this is. I cried 🫶🏼
Fly Over Heart Reef
The only place in Australia where you can reliably find orcas. The best time for this one is from January - March when all the big whales come to the area to feast on squid and pelagic fish species 🐋
Cruise with Orcas in Bremer Bay
I took my cousin out on this tour for his Christmas present one year and holy moly - it actually blew me away! Such a unique way to see the city and you stop for dinner along the way - from your kayak. So cool 🛶
Sunset Kayak in Melbourne
The world's largest sand island is full of surprises! Try to book a 3-5 day tour at a minimum if you can. There's soo much to see and do 🚙
4WD Adventure on K'gari Island
For the real adventure seekers! Rodney Fox is the company to go with. This is so high on my bucket list I can't even tell you! Someone please do it and tell me how it was 🦈
Cage Dive with Great White Sharks
Iconic! Why just watch them walk by at sunset when you can be one of the people riding them? 🐪
Ride a Camel at Sunset in Broome
You will never regret a day spent with quokkas A.K.A the cutest, happiest animals on earth! 🐻
Take a Quokka Selfie
Some of the most incredible scenery in the country and you can experience it all by boat. Explore sea caves and spot seals and dolphins 🦭
Cruise Around Tasman Island
