True Blue Sky High Holidays

It’s holiday time with altitude! Imagine moments of weightlessness, feeling the wind in your hair, floating above the clouds, or the more extreme sensation of g-forces in a jet fighter...

Whether you’re a bit of a Goose or a Maverick, you’ll love the jet flight jaunt from Hobart. After a top gun style pre-flight briefing, your pilot takes you through the manoeuvres in mid-air in a Jet Provost Mk5a — vertical climbs, loop, rolls and 900kph of speed. Overlook Hobart from Battery Point’s Salamanca Terraces.

You don’t need to be James Bond to jump out a of a plane - a tandem skydive near Perth can be just as adventurous. Alas while we humans lack wings, for 5 minutes you can feel the exhilaration of a an eagle-like launch. Stay close to heaven with a dip in the rooftop pool at Citigate Perth, 7 storeys above the beautiful botanic gardens of Kings Park.

Leonardo Da Vinci designed a glider inspired by birds but didn’t get it to take off. Never fear, in the 21st century there’s a safer way to fly. In the quiet of the sky, you can waft over Camden Valley near Sydney in a motorised glider. What better to continue the day with highness of another kind - a regal high tea at the Swissotel Sydney.

Just as well Tarzan didn’t have a fear of heights, with all that vine swinging through the jungle. You can be just as swashbuckling with a jungle surfing canopy tour in the Daintree Rainforest near Cape Tribulation. It’s like being a Cairns Birdwing butterfly, which you might see in the gardens of the Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa.
