Bucket list experiences turn the lines you keep saying you'll get to into dates in the diary. Float over the Yarra Valley at sunrise, jump from up to 13,000 feet over the Sunshine Coast, swim with wild dolphins or hang upside down above the playing field at Perth's Optus Stadium. Book one for yourself, or pay for a line on someone else's list.
Bucket lists tend to stall at the booking stage. Everything here has an operator, a date and a gift option. Think sunrise over Melbourne in a hot air balloon, or a full day on Ningaloo Reef with whale sharks. Pick the line that has sat on the list longest.
Balloons lift off at dawn over the Yarra Valley, the Barossa, the Avon Valley and Canberra. The Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Tour Over Yarra Valley passes over the river, hills and wineries, with complimentary in-flight photos and video. The Hot Air Balloon Flight over Barossa Valley with Breakfast ends with a cooked Barossa breakfast and sparkling wine. In Western Australia, the Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Champagne Breakfast Tour lets you help inflate the balloon before takeoff.
The 13,000ft Weekday Skydive Over Sunshine Coast gives you a 60-second freefall and a riverside or beachside landing. Near Adelaide, the McLaren Vale Tandem Skydive lands in a vineyard. Faster still, the Jet Fighter Flight over Sydney puts you in an L39 for advanced manoeuvres and G-force, and the Warbird Aerobatic Flight out of Barwon Heads pulls more than 4Gs past Bells Beach and the Great Ocean Road.
Port Phillip Bay has wild dolphins and seals, and the Swim with Wild Dolphins and Seals from Queenscliff supplies the gear and the transfers. In Port Stephens, a dolphin swim cruise includes breakfast on the boat and training in the swim technique. The Whale Sharks and Whales SEP-NOV Tour in Exmouth is a full day with whale sharks and manta rays. Sydney's Shark Dive at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium needs no scuba experience.
Brisbane's twilight climb of the Story Bridge is a screen-free climb from golden hour into city lights, and Cairns sends you off a platform 50 metres above a rainforest lagoon on the Cairns Bungy Jump. In Perth, the VERTIGO Rooftop Climb at Optus Stadium adds a suspended platform to test your nerve. On track, the F1 Style Race Car Driving Experience is 20 laps of Sydney Motorsport Park in a Formula Ford, and the Ferrari, Lotus and Lamborghini Combo gives you 12 laps across three supercars at Sandown. Sideways is a separate skill, covered on the drifting page.
The Seaplane Flight over Sydney with Champagne Brunch takes off for a scenic flight past Rose Bay and Bondi, with brunch for two and a glass of French champagne each. Canberra's balloon flight for two finishes with a champagne toast. For a night away, the Romantic Overnight Yacht Stay is a night on a moored Beneteau Oceanis with views over Pittwater and Barrenjoey Lighthouse (no meals included).
Giving someone a bucket list experience means paying for a line on a list they already wrote. Product pages carry a buy-as-a-gift option, so a skydive, a sunrise balloon or a night on a yacht can be sent straight to them.
If you don't know which line is next, a RedBalloon gift voucher lets them choose. It works on any RedBalloon experience, stays valid for five years and has free instant email delivery available.
A sunrise balloon flight is a popular option, and the Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Experience Over Melbourne floats past Flinders Street Station, Albert Park Lake and the Shrine of Remembrance. For adrenaline, there are skydives, a Sydney jet fighter flight and Formula Ford laps. For the water, there are wild dolphin swims and Ningaloo whale sharks.
Yes. Product pages carry a buy-as-a-gift option, and the gift voucher lets the recipient pick their own. It works on any RedBalloon experience and stays valid for five years, which suits a list that has more than one line on it.
Anything you want to do once and tell people about. That means flying (balloons, seaplanes, jet fighters), swimming with wildlife, climbing a landmark, driving a supercar or a race car, and an overnight stay on a yacht.
Tandem skydives pair you with a qualified instructor, which is how first-timers jump. The Sunshine Coast skydive includes the Australian Parachute Federation levy, three months' membership and personal accident insurance. Skydiving carries inherent risk, and operators set weight and health limits, so read the participant conditions on the product page before booking.
Plenty here is gentle. The Melbourne Skydeck Altitude Dining is a three-course menu above the skyline, balloons drift quietly over the valleys at sunrise, and the seaplane flight over Sydney comes with brunch. Our scenic flights page has more flights that are mostly about the view.
Driving has its own pages. The driving category has the full range of drives, and the drifting page covers sideways laps. This page keeps a few of the headline drives, including the Formula Ford laps at Sydney Motorsport Park.
Go deeper on a single line with hot air ballooning, skydiving, swimming with dolphins and whale sharks or bridge climbing. Want a flight with a bit more bite? See jet fighter flights. If the list is for someone you'd like to surprise, mystery flights keep the destination secret.
