I've remembered times when I was either alone, or with a small group of people, working together to achieve a common goal. I've tried to cover different regions of the world and different kinds of activities - those on land, at … [Read more...]

Legendary Black Water Rafting Part II: The Black Abyss

The first time I visited New Zealand, just over a year ago, my sister and I had intended to do the Black Abyss tour with the Legendary Black Water Rafting Company in Waitomo.

Night Diving on the Great Barrier Reef

For a certified scuba diver, deciding whether or not to dive the Great Barrier Reef is a no brainer and you should really make the most of it by considering a Great Barrier Reef liveaboard. Deciding whether or not to try night diving on the Great Barrier Reef is a whole new ball game. For someone who's never been night diving before, it begs a few … [Read more...]

AJ Hackett Bungy Cairns

AJ Hackett Bungy Cairns

I did my first bungy jump in New Zealand and I was petrified. By the time I'd left New Zealand I'd done three - the Auckland Harbour Bridge, the Ledge and the Nevis. The aim was to fight my fears. Did I? Well...no. It was my Contiki guide Trys who talked me into doing the AJ Hackett Bungy Cairns. We'd just rounded off an amazing two-week trip from … [Read more...]

Surf School with Mojo Surf

It's not really acceptable to spend more than a couple of weeks in Australia and not try surfing. The climate, beaches and surf all lend themselves well to this sport and it's a lot of fun, even as a beginner. As part of the BEACHES AND REEFS tour run by Contiki, I visited Spot X at Coff's Harbour to learn more from Mojo Surf. TAKE AN ADVENTURE … [Read more...]

An Adventure with Manly Kayak Centre

Sometimes, you don't have to go very far to find adventure, and this couldn't have been more true than of when I lived in Manly, Sydney. A friend of mine had found a 2-4-1 voucher in a booklet so, fully laden with cameras and a picnic, we headed down to the Manly Kayak Centre at 9 am on a Sunday. For $70 we hired two single kayaks for the entire … [Read more...]
