Quad bikes

Picture this: You are dashing your way across bush tracks in Glenworth Valley, taking on tricky corners and long straights on the back of a speedy quad bike. Or perhaps you would prefer gliding your way up and over the iconic sand dunes of Port Stephens. Whatever your quad bike style, we have an adventure you and your mates are going to love.

Jet skis

A jet ski adventure is sure to give you that first taste of summer. Soak up some sun,zoom over salty waves and feel that carefree feeling sink in. With awesome jet ski experiences all over Australia, this is an affordable and easy addition to your uni holiday plans. (Easy doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I’d go with something around it being exciting, fun or memorable) From Perth to the Gold Coast and down to Sydney, there are so many to pick from.

Kayaking

Get outdoors and get active with a fun kayaking session. Kayaking is an incredible way to reset, both mentally and physically. There’s also the added bonus of getting up close and personal with the marine life of the area. From exploring the waters around Palm Beach, floating down Brisbane River at sunset or combining a day of kayaking with snorkelling on the Gold Coast, this is a must-do these uni holidays.

Swim with dolphins

If you’re looking for a dreamy adventure that will leave you with long-lasting memories and an even greater appreciation for nature, look no further! Swimming with wildlife not only brings with it pure childlike joy, but it’s such a memorable adventure to share with your friends. Discover the marine life at Tangalooma Wrecks, go boom netting in Nelson Bay or meet the local dolphins at Mornington Peninsula.

Skydiving

If skydiving has been sitting on your bucket list for a while now, it’s time to bite the bullet and jump! From freefalling over the crashing waves at Byron Bay or Wollongong to taking in the incredible clifftop views at the Great Ocean Road, add skydiving to your adventure list this uni break.

Stand up paddle boarding

Both relaxing and an excellent way to spend some much needed time in the sunshine. Experience stand up paddle boarding across Sydney, Coffs Harbour, the Gold Coast and more. Even if you're a complete rookie, this is easy to pick up and we guarantee you'll love it.

Hiking

Sometimes there’s nothing better than getting outside and spending some time in nature. After a long stint of studying a hike or bushwalking adventure will rejuvenate your mind and also help you hit those 10k steps. From a walking and diving nature tour in Manly to exploring the Grampian’s not too far from Melbourne, check out some of our amazing nature trails listed here.

Camping

Bushwalk by day, spent the nights swapping stories over a campfire with a group of your best mates. If you’ve been craving an escape from your dorm or share house, camping is the adventure for you. Give yourself the reset you need to jump back into the next semester feeling ready to take on any challenge that presents itself. Explore a roundup of overnight adventures here.

Treetop adventures

Treetop and zipline adventures are both affordable and a fantastic experience for groups. There’s no feeling that quite compares to flying through the treetops on a giant activity course made for adults. Nourish that inner child, gather your crew and hit up the courses on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or Sydney for an exhilarating day

Escape rooms

We can guarantee you two things from completing an escape room with your mates. One: Whether you finish or not, you’re going to have fun and feel accomplished. Two: You’ll want to come back for more. With escape room experiences in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, take your pick and good luck.
