Adventure & Adrenaline Tours & Trips in Australia
Think about swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef , Karijini's gorges have waterfalls at the bottom you climb down to reach, Monkey Mia dolphins come into the shallows every morning, and the Pinnacles look otherworldly. The Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair trek crosses Tasmania's highlands, Manning Falls has pools you can swim in, Geikie Gorge cruising with Bunuba guides who explain the rock art. It’s Australia at its finest.

I had a fantastic time with Groovy Grape. I did an overnight tour to Kangaroo Island, the your was well paced, with plenty of time at each stop. Never felt rushed and really enjoyed the trip. Our guide (Aaron) was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. I would definitely your with GG again, and would highly recommend!

Took the tour hosted by Robert & Frederico. Robert was always full of energy when he spoke and he had lots of stories. Whenever we saw animals on the outback roads he stopped and allowed us to have a look and photograph them. He did this with camels. He found a dead snake on the side of the road and then pulled it into our van for us all to have a look at it. He found a thorny devil on the side of the road and pulled it into the van for all of us to look at it. He was very knowledgeable with explaining the story of the Southern Cross star constellation. I liked that the tour guides allowed us to swap seats in the van and sit up the front with Robert. I liked the number of stops we had including Erldunda at the geographic centre of Australia and the many photo opportunities on the side of the road. It was fabulous to see Uluru and I was amazed at the height and size of it. We saw the sunset over Uluru which changed the colour of the rock which was sensational. We also saw the sunrise over Uluru and I enjoyed visiting the Aboriginal cultural centre. Aboriginal art is stunning and the people are friendly.
