Only in NSW experiences Option 2

Only in NSW

NSW is the most geographically diverse state in Australia. It’s home to iconic experiences which you can’t do anywhere else on the planet.

  • Sunset sail on Sydney Harbour with EastSail and enjoy the views of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
  • Head to Bondi, Australia’s most famous beach for a surf lesson with Let’s go Surfing band lunch at Icebergs Dining Room & Bar
  • Head across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. You can walk, and even climb across it any day of the week, and during the Blackmores Running Festival  you can even run across its broad expanse while it’s closed to traffic.
  • Ring in the NYE on Sydney Harbour – there’s a reason why footage of NYE in Sydney is broadcast globally on every news program. 
  •  Walk on some of the purest sands in the world on the glorious White Sands Walk in Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast. 
  • Catch a ferry to Manly, for a true Sydney Harbour cruise the way the locals do it. 
  • Lord Howe Island is one of the most unspoilt and sustainable paradises on the planet! With pristine beaches, abundant wildlife and just 300 residents, this UNESCO World Heritage listed island is a unique and untouched destination. 
  • See the sunrise from Australia’s most easterly point, Cape Byron on the NSW North Coast. 
  • Do a BTS tour of the Sydney Opera House then enjoy a drink admiring the sails from below at Sydney institution for locals and visitors, Opera Bar, where NSW chef Matt Moran is at the helm.
  • Jenolan Caves is one of the finest cave systems in the world. This labyrinth of stalactite-lined limestone chasms, carved by pure underground rivers, is a three-hour drive from either Sydney or Canberra.
  • Visit the “rooftop of Australia” at Kosciuszko National Park, in the NSW Snowy Mountains. There are two ways you can reach the top of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak. Both offer spectacular views, with one beginning in Thredbo and the other in Charlotte Pass.
  • Gaze over the second-largest canyon in the world (after the Grand Canyon) at Capertee Valley, between Lithgow and Mudgee in Central NSW. 
  • Take a selfie and become one of the millions who marvel in awe each year at the Three Sisters rock formation, the Blue Mountains’ most spectacular landmark. 
  • Go on a stargazing adventure and explore Australia’s first Dark Sky Park in the Warrumbungles.
  • Go diving at Balls Pyramid, 23km southeast of Lord Howe Island, the only known place where the Ballina Angelfish can be sighted scuba diving.
  • Make like a Sydney local and do the famous Bondi to Coogee walk. Home to Sculptures by the Sea every May and June, it’s part of the 80km Bondi to Manly Walk.
  • A running ‘hot lap’ race on a world renowned motor racing track? That’s the Panorama Punish in Bathurst on Mount Panorama. 
  • Get up close and personal with your favourite furry friends whilst spending the night at luxury eco lodge Wildlife Retreat at Taronga.
  • No trip to the Coffs Coast is complete without a stop (and a photo) at the Big Banana, Coffs Harbour’s famous landmark. 
  • Visit the Silverton Hotel for a beer and a quintessential outback Australian pub experience, complete with resident donkeys.
