Things not to miss in Australia

Private Island Yacht Tour

We suggest going to the Whitsunday Islands as they offer some of the world’s finest sailing, with perfect winds, calm seas, beautiful scenery and 74 islands to hop tour. Even if you have no sailing experience, companies such as Cumberland Charter Yachts will give you a yacht and a safety briefing and then set you free, however the requirement is that you have to respond to their twice-daily radio schedule.

Luxury Train Across the Continent

This unforgettable train journey takes in 2979 kilometres of tropics, mountains and scorched deserts. The Ghan, Luxury Train, takes 3 days to cross the continent, you can choose to start the journey from Darwin to Adelaide or vice versa.

Take a Road Food Trip around Tasmania

We suggest to start with a breakfast at the Farm Gate Market in Hobart and then to spend few days feasting through Tasmania. There is lots of local produce to sample, apples at Willie Smith’s Apple Shed, a ciderhouse in the Huon Valley, Tassie oysters at Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed , belgian-style chocolates near Latrobe and the triple cream brie in historic Richmond.

Roller Coasters and Water Slides at the Gold Coast

Parks between The Spit and Coomera, north of Surfers Paradise offers a lot of fun, huge thrilling rides, water slides and wildlife. We suggest visiting the ”big five” fun parks. Besides, there is plenty of accommodation and excellent connections to the Gold Coast beaches.

Diving with Great White Sharks

For extreme lovers, we suggest diving underwater with a great white sharks in Port Lincoln. This will be an adventure to tell your friends and family about. Chartes like Calypso Star and Adventure Bay Charters run one-day great white shark tours off Port Lincoln. For this activity, scuba experience is not necessary and if you’re looking for something memorable but not that extreme, there is also a possibility to swim in ocean with giant whale sharks.

Driving Great Ocean Road

Hiring a car in Melbourne and taking a journey along the stunning Great Ocean Road is something that we recommend to every visitor. The road along the ocean includes surf spots of Torquay, Bells Beach, the many kangaroos, Lorne, and many spectacular rock formations of the 12 Apostles. It is possible to drive Ocean Road all in 3 hours non-stop but we recommend taking at least 2-3 days to make stops and visit many interesting sights.

Experiences not to miss in Sydney

Handa Opera on the Harbour

Handa Opera can be considered the best cultural experience. Performed on a custom-built, water-top stage on Sydney Harbour, the month-long event that is held annually and without doubts attracts visitors from around the world.

Sydney Seaplanes Fly and Dine

Mann’s Solutions team suggest enjoying Sydney Seaplanes Fly and Dine experience that includes seaplane flight along Sydney’s Northern Beaches directly to Palm Beach. The dine experience includes four-course lunch with wine pairings and offers breathtaking views while flying over the Sydney Harbour bridge and iconic Opera.
