Skydiving

The fear-factor is pretty high when it comes to skydiving… Even those with nerves of steel will be quaking in their boots in those moments before they willingly jump out of a plane. But for those who are brave enough to take the leap, it’s a wild ride and an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Man diving with Great White Shark
Shark diving

Jaws, The Meg, Sharknado – there are plenty of blockbusters out there that would have you believing diving with sharks isn’t the best idea. Forget about Hollywood, and get up close and personal with these majestic monsters of the deep. You’ve got two options… hop in the tank at an aquarium near you, or go all out and cage dive with great white sharks in Port Lincoln.

Tower Bungy Jump

The thing with bungy jumping is it’s really up to you to take the leap. With skydiving, you’re strapped to another person who knows what they are doing. With bungy, you’re on your own, launching yourself off the platform before free-falling 50 metres down… It’s the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Abseil and Quad Bike Adventure
Abseiling

Unsurprisingly, scaling down a very steep cliff face isn’t something that comes easily to most people, especially for those who aren’t partial to heights. However, if you can muster up the courage, abseiling is an awesome way to explore some pretty special areas of Australia from the Blue Mountains, the Glasshouse Mountains or even Cradle Mountain.
