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.

10-Day Adelaide to Perth Adventure TourThis was my 1st Intrepid trip and will not be my last. Eowin was an amazing "camp counselor". He was funny, knowledgeable, kept us safe and happy, and made sure we had sufficient potty breaks and snacks. Loved the Intrepid itinerary, and Eowin added some hidden gems for group meals. There is no possible way we would have been able to see everything we saw, so efficiently, without doing it with an organized tour. The Intrepid staff take care of their locals and vice versa, and we were put at the "front of the line" for many tours and restaurants. This tour was clearly carefully curated, vetted, and adjusted based on traveler feedback. (Even the bathroom breaks were thoughtfully chosen to occur at tourist/picturesque stops). Thank you Intrepid and Eowin for the trip of a lifetime.
