The best of adventure and sport in NSW
If you want adventure, then the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia is the place to go. No matter what the season, you can choose from a wide variety of landscapes, climates, activities and experiences all with easy access to tour operators and local guides.
For snow lovers, there’s no better place than the Snowy Mountains. Skiers and snowboarders can hit the slopes for some downhill thrills in Kosciuszko National Park. Non-skiing adventure-seekers will enjoy hiking or snowshoeing.
If water sports are more your thing, there are plenty of places to go. Surfers grab your surfboards and head to Byron Bay, Shellharbour, or Newcastle’s Merewether Beach. To see spectacular sea life up close, visit Lord Howe Island, a world-famous destination for underwater diving.
The oceans, lakes and rivers around NSW offer a lifetime’s worth of exciting fishing and boating challenges. Want more? Experience the rush of whitewater rafting in Jindabyne and Penrith, or go barefoot waterskiing in Port Stephens.
For adventure in NSW, the sky’s the limit! Book a hot-air-balloon or helicopter ride over the stunning vineyards of the Hunter Valley, go skydiving in Wollongong, or try hang-gliding in Stanwell Park.
Get to know the State’s unique and tough landscapes on a caving, canoeing or rock climbing adventure. Four-wheel-driving and off-roading tours are popular in both Country NSW and Outback NSW. Or explore parts of the State on horseback—you’ll find great horse riding options in Sydney and throughout NSW. 51. Where can you go barefoot waterskiing? A. Stanwell Park. C. Port Stephens.

Don’t make friends with the sales staff. The more you interact (互动) with the sales staff, the more likely it is that you will buy something. This is because you feel like you don’t want to let down someone who has helped you. Leave your credit cards at home.
