Boating

There’s nothing more refreshing than spending a day out on the water, especially when you’re in sunny Australia! With sparkling blue seas surrounding the whole country and flowing rivers cutting across the inland countryside, boating is just the thing for those warm Sunday afternoons.

Boating really is for everyone, and in most places you won’t even need a licence to drive one. Take your pick of watery destinations, from Australia’s gorgeous coastline to its many islands to its inland lakes, rivers and waterholes. If you don’t want to take the wheel yourself, you can hire a chartered vessel and they’ll take you wherever you want to go.

Yachts, dingys, houseboats, rafts, canoes, cruisers, power boats and runabouts. Choose a vessel to suit your own interests; from a tiny dingy that will take you to the best fishing spots on rivers and lakes, to a huge houseboat where you can spend a few nights getting accustomed to life on the water.

Boating gets to into places that are unreachable by land, and from the decks of your vessel you’ll see things from a new perspective. You can combine your trip with any number of other attractions like diving, fishing, sightseeing, swimming or maybe even wine tasting!
