It’s the time for setting goals and planning out your annual leave for the year ahead, and a holiday to Australia is a great opportunity to experience unforgettable experiences while reconnecting with nature.

Whether you’re ticking big things off your bucket list like swimming with dolphins and discovering Indigenous stories in the stars, or nourishing your body with farm-to-fork dining and the great outdoors, Australia will sort you out. Read on to see more exciting experiences to spice up your itinerary Down Under.

Have A Whale Of A Time

Most people have heard of whale watching from a ferry, but have you ever heard of soaring above a whale? Now, you can marvel at these magnificent creatures from the air as you parasail over a whale with Cicerello’s Jet Adventures off the coast of Perth / Boorloo, Western Australia. Departing from Fremantle during humpback season between September and November, whale-lovers can board the purpose-built parasailing boat Okiedokie to glide over the top of a whale for a once-in-a-lifetime view.

Be mesmerised under the milky way

However, not all of Australia’s beauty is terrestrial. Turn your eyes to the sky as it illuminates with starry views that come alive only when the sun sets. At Uluru in the Northern Territory, Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia has introduced a new element to its Wintjiru Wiru celestial cultural storytelling experience, Wintjiri Wiru Twilight.

Featuring the same evocative and deeply moving drone light show that tells a chapter of the Mala story, the 90-minute Twilight experience takes place an hour earlier making it the best choice for visiting children (aged five and above) and families.

Nourish Your Body And Soul With Nature

Between October and April, you can get a glimpse of what life is like working on a remote cattle station in Katherine, Northern Territory as part of Katherine Outback Experience’s new behind-the-scenes, hands-on offering. Learn how wild horses are tamed, how Aussie working dogs round up their herds and more.

No matter what your new year’s resolutions may be, there’s something for you Down Under. Start mapping out your 2024 Australia holiday now to catch these exciting experiences happening over the year!
