Things to do in NSW include a Sydney Harbour jet boat, a dolphin cruise at Port Stephens, a cabin in the Blue Mountains and a balloon over Byron Bay. Browse the state region by region, then book one for yourselves or give it as a gift to someone who deserves a proper day away.
Things to do in NSW change with the region, so pick the place first. A sunrise balloon in the Hunter Valley finishes with sparkling at a winery, the Blue Mountains hold full-day abseils and off-grid cabins, and Port Stephens has dolphin cruises and sand dunes. Sydney adds harbour jet boats, dinner cruises and breakfast with koalas.
Sydney starts on the water. The jet boat ride on the harbour reaches speeds of up to 75km/h, and the sunset dinner cruise has 360-degree views from the upper deck. On land, the native high tea at the Opera House comes with unlimited sparkling for two hours, and the koala breakfast at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo gets you in ahead of the morning crowds. More sit in the Sydney collection.
Hunter Valley experiences are built around the wine. The hot air balloon flight with breakfast floats over vineyards coloured by the rising sun and ends with an à la carte breakfast and sparkling at a local winery. The two-night winery escape adds boutique accommodation, a winery lunch or dinner for two and a bottle on arrival.
Cliffs and bush replace the harbour in the Blue Mountains. Abseiling and lunch fill a full day, starting with the basics and working up to bigger heights, with national park fees covered. The army truck tour takes a guided ride in an ex-Australian Army Land Rover, and the off-grid cabin stay welcomes pets. Browse the full Blue Mountains range for more.
Byron Bay experiences suit early starts and late finishes. The Byron Bay balloon flight for two ends with breakfast at Three Blue Ducks, and the sunrise or sunset horse ride follows Belongil Beach. The beginners' group surf lesson supplies a board, wetsuit and rash vest, and the wider North Coast has more to explore.
Newcastle is a coastline from the air and a harbour at night: a scenic helicopter flight with a guaranteed window seat and a harbour dinner cruise with a BBQ, live entertainment and a dancefloor, with more in Newcastle. Up the coast, Port Stephens pairs the dolphin discovery cruise, with its boom net and waterslide, with a quad bike tour over sand dunes that climb up to 100 feet.
Wollongong and the South Coast lead down to Jervis Bay. The dolphin cruise comes with commentary from marine experts, and the whale watching cruise passes the cliffs of Point Perpendicular. After dark, the beach stargazing tour with an astrophysicist brings telescopes and a Q&A.
Regional NSW slows everything down. The Sparkling Tiny House at Windeyer sits on a 300-acre alpaca farm with Mudgee wineries nearby, and the luxury bell tent stay suits a midweek glamping escape. Closer to Sydney, the Central Coast is a short drive.
A balloon flight for two, a koala breakfast or a night in a Blue Mountains cabin gives someone a place to go and something to tell people about afterwards. New South Wales has a version for the harbour regular, the wine lover and the person who'd rather be on a beach.
If you can't decide where they'd want to head, a RedBalloon gift voucher lets them choose the region, the experience and the weekend. Regional bookings can take time to arrange, so give it a little ahead of the date you have in mind.
It depends on the region. Sydney has harbour jet boats, dinner cruises and the Opera House high tea, the Hunter Valley has balloon flights and winery stays, and the Blue Mountains have abseiling and cabins. Byron Bay offers balloons and surf lessons, and Jervis Bay has dolphin and whale cruises.
Two-person experiences are plentiful. Float over Byron Bay in the balloon flight for two and finish with breakfast, spend a weekend at a Hunter Valley winery, or book a two-night Hunter Valley winery stay with a winery meal and a bottle of wine on arrival.
Yes. The dolphin discovery cruise at Port Stephens has a boom net and a waterslide, the Sydney Harbour dinner cruise has a dedicated children's menu, and the koala breakfast at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is a good morning out. Always check the minimum age on the product page.
Not always. The Byron Bay balloon flight has a 140kg maximum weight per passenger and excludes anyone who is pregnant, and the Macarthur balloon flight isn't suitable for pregnant participants either. The Byron Bay sunrise and sunset horse ride is for intermediate to advanced riders only.
Start with what you want to do. For wine and balloons, look at the Hunter Valley. For harbour views, choose Sydney. For quiet cabins and cliffs, pick the Blue Mountains. For surf and sunrise rides, head to Byron Bay, and for wildlife, try Port Stephens or Jervis Bay.
Yes. Every experience here can be given as a voucher, and a gift voucher lets the recipient choose the region and the activity. For a gift with a destination in mind, the Sparkling Tiny House stay near Mudgee suits a couple who want a quiet weekend.
If you're planning a trip rather than a day out, getaways and weekend getaways collect the stays. Country getaways suit the regions, coastal and beach getaways cover the shoreline, and romantic getaways are made for two. Heading across the border, the Queensland hub is next door.
