Throw it back in time with a horse ride. If you're keen to head out on horseback, now’s the season. Why? Because longer days and warmer temps make for prime riding conditions. We know - horses look terrifying at first but you’ll realise they’re pretty cool after you spend some time with them. Seriously, once you hop on, you won’t want to get off.

Take your pick from bushy trails or beaches with our horse riding experiences across Australia.

Dolphin Swimming

The friendliest swimming buddy? A dolphin, obviously. If you haven’t jumped in the water with these playful creatures before, spring is the best time to swim with dolphins. You can swim with them any time of the year, but the warmth of spring makes for more appealing water conditions. Besides, swimming with dolphins under sunny blue skies just makes sense.

Go for a swim with dolphins in Perth, the Mornington Peninsula, Gold Coast and more.

Treetops Course

If you think an obstacle course is fun, wait till you try a course up in the trees. Swing, climb and twist your way around this epic adult-friendly playground. Oh, and if there’s a flying fox, even better. While this is something you can do all year round, spring is hands down the best time to do it. Warm but not too hot, there is less of a chance it’ll be muddy or cold.

You choose how hard you go with different course difficulties to pick from.

V8 Driving

Peter Brock, is that you? Sure, you can drive a V8 any season, but there's no better time than around the Bathurst 1000. With the event falling in spring, this is the season to live out your own race day and rip up the track.

It can get hot and sweaty in the suit and helmet, so spring makes it more comfortable. You’re also more likely to avoid wet weather this time of year. Find a track near you with V8 experiences in Sydney, Melbourne and more.

Helicopter Flights

Forget the usual plans - make your weekend more exciting by jumping on a helicopter flight. Seeing a city from this high up is pretty cool and will make you realise just how small we really are. Also pointing out places you’ve been to from up above never gets old.

Since this time of year isn’t too hot or cold, fog and humidity isn't a problem. This means high visibility all around, so you can see everything clearly. With helicopter flights in Sydney, Brisbane and more, there will be one near you.
