Queensland, Australia is a thrill-seeker’s haven offering everything from adrenaline-pumping activities to soft adventures, complemented with splendid weather all year round. Go higher, faster and deeper and enjoy the best adventure in the world.

Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort

At Tangalooma, 75 minutes’ by boat from Brisbane, you can try your hand at the exhilarating sport of tobogganing down sand dunes as high as 70 metres or have a rugged adventure through the beach and bushlands of Moreton Island on an ATV quad bike!

Breathtaking Brisbane

Take it down a notch and embark on an adventure climb up Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge, which offers unparalleled panoramas of Queenland’s capital city’s skyline and beyond from a dizzying equivalent of a 22-storey high building.

For more outdoor pursuits, try Brisbane’s Riverlife Adventure Centre where you can go kayaking, rock climbing or abseiling at Kangaroo Point cliffs, or cycling by the scenic Brisbane River. You can also enjoy unique Aboriginal cultural experiences, such as song and dance, boomerang throwing and fire-starting techniques.

Exhilarating Gold Coast

With sun-drenched beaches and beautiful weather, you couldn’t find a more picturesque place to learn to surf than at the Gold Coast. Take up a beginner’s lesson and experience the thrill of riding the waves like a local in just one lesson.

If diving into the sky is your idea of the perfect holiday activity, then the Gold Coast’s range of adrenaline-pumping sports, including skydiving and bungy jumping, will satisfy the thrill seeker in you. For an aqua adventure, try high-speed jet-boating for non-stop exhilaration!

See Queensland in a new perspective – high up in a hot air balloon! From Gold Coast to Cairns, you can experience this once-in-a-lifetime activity from many scenic spots in Queensland. See the beautiful sunrise, spot kangaroos or just enjoy the view - it’s romance and thrills all rolled into one!

Self-drive Adventure

Why not create your own Queensland adventure by embarking on a self-drive journey along The Great Sunshine Way? Take a leisurely drive through Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast, and enjoy the best mix of cities, coast and the rolling hills of the hinterland in this exciting touring route. Shop at colourful markets, dine at quaint tearooms and stay at beautiful resort towns.
