Outdoor Adventures

Paddling

If you prefer to stay above the water rather than in it, join a group or private lesson with SUP Shellharbour, offering calm and scenic sessions on Minnamurra River. You can also explore the tranquil waters of Crooked River Gerroa by hiring a kayak or pedal cart (perfect for kids big and small) from Seven Mile Beach Holiday Park.

If you’d prefer to dive right in and paddle with your arms, hit the waves with the experts at Surf Camp Australia / Gerroa Surf School. Their sessions include highly experienced instructors, plus all the equipment to surf on the stunning Seven Mile Beach.

Adrenaline Rush

Get your adrenaline fix, soaring through the treetops on Australia’s highest zipline at Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventures. If rides are your thing, drop into the eye of The Perfect Storm on one of the most exciting rides at Jamberoo Action Park – where you control the action. Or why not experience the thrill of leaping from a perfectly good airplane with BIGWAVE Skydive!  This exhilarating adventure, set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, promises memories that will stay with you forever.

Hook Line Sinker

If fishing is your idea of the perfect day out, we have you covered. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, Fishing with a Local offers relaxed, personalised experiences that let you cast a line alongside those who know these waters best.

For those keen to head further offshore, Kiama Charter Service delivers unforgettable fishing adventures on the open ocean. With experienced skippers, quality gear and access to prime fishing spots, it’s an easy, all-inclusive way to reel in your next great catch.

Tour-rific

Do you prefer to explore at your own pace or be guided by those who know the region best?

For a meaningful cultural experience, join Gumaraa Aboriginal Experience, where you can take part in cultural canoeing tours, immersive storytelling experiences, or guided bush-tucker and medicinal walks.

Nature lovers can slow things down with a visit to the Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, where elevated boardwalks and self-guided trails wind through lush subtropical rainforest.

Once you have worked up an appetite (and thirst), be sure to sample the local Foodscape on a tour of local producers and fantastic wineries.

Prefer to explore independently? Set your own pace with a self-guided wine tasting tour at Coolangatta Estate or Crooked River Estate, where vineyard views pair perfectly with a long lunch or relaxed tasting.

Get Sporty

What do you get when you cross soccer and golf? Fun for the whole family! Otherwise known as Footgolf – see who can complete a round on Jamberoo’s picturesque course in the least possible number of kicks. Anyone for tennis? Grab your doubles partner and hire a court – what better way to fill in an afternoon after a morning at the beach.
