Booking a skydive

Skydiving Byron Bay

People often ask 'If I book a skydive what does my experience consist of?'

Now each jump zone can vary slight but skydiving out of Byron Bay looks a little like this...

Firstly you will be given an arrival time. This is the time you need to arrive at the Tyagarah Airfield ready for arguably the biggest adrenalin rush you will ever experience. You will need to wear comfortable clothes and lace up shoes that can't fly off when travelling at speeds faster then you can drive.

When you check in for your skydive you will be allocated to a tandem master. You will will then be taken through a couple of basic techniques to land correctly and fall from the plane.

Once your basic training has completed. You will kit up and head out to the plane. As you board the plane you will begin asking yourself 'Why am I about to jump out of a perfectly good plane?'

As the plane takes off you will now realise that you are just about to do something that makes very little sense.

Getting to 14000 feet will take roughly 20 minutes. It will feel a lot longer...

All of a sudden the door will open and you will be hit with strangely cool air. Your tandem master then whispers something in your ear. The words don't seem quite right 'Jump Time!'

As you shuffle to the door plenty of thoughts are running through your head yet the only word that comes to mind, rhymes with TRUCK!!!!!!!

When you first fall out, try and keep your eyes open because you will get a surreal view of the plane flying away from you. Over the next 60 seconds you will reach speeds in excess of 200km per hour, scream more then you have ever before and loose all moisture in your mouth.

Suddenly the shoot opens and for the next five minutes you float back to Earth planning when you can get time to jump again.

What is the best way to experience Byron Bay?

Byron Bay skydive 

Byron Bay is famous for its unique ambience, surf beaches and relaxed lifestyle. It is also known for the artisans and people enjoying the alternate lifestyle, who are often mixing with famous locals that reside in this sought after location.

When talking to locals, and tourist alike, people are often divided when asked 'What is the best way to experience Byron Bay?'

Some will say that siting on a McTavish Malibu surfboard overlooking Byron is the best way, others will argue that sitting at the Byron Bay Beach hotel enjoying an ale and listening to some local tunes is the better option, or people watching whilst enjoying a coffee and a feed. For me I think travelling at 200km per hour towards all of the above is the best way to view Byron Bay. A Byron Bay skydive is the only way this can be achieved.

Australia's best holiday location.

I guess the question is not whether Port Douglas is Australia's best holiday location but why isn't it? Well first what makes a great holiday?

Location-
The average temperature in Port Douglas ranges between 27 to 33 degrees all year round. From the major cities on the eastern side of Australia you can get to Cairns and Port Douglas in a couple of hours and flying with Jetstar and Virgin you land on the ground for as little as $100 one way.

Tours
Well this is when Port Douglas comes into its own. With the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef so close to shore you can nearly touch it, a great launching pad to the world heritage listed Daintree, Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation to name just a few.

Food
Local produce such as mud crabs, coral trout, tropical fruits and so much more will create a menu that even the most fussy food lover would be happy to bury their taste buds into.

Surf, sun, and a long history

Moreton Island 

Disembarking the Moreton Ferry and setting foot on the golden sands of Moreton Island makes you feel like you have just landed in paradise. European settlement first set up on Moreton Island in 1848 in the small island town of Bulwar. Yet settlement on Moreton Island was many thousand years prior and evidence of this can still be foundation Spit Fire creek. Ancient Middens that represent an area where the Ngugi people sat and ate. The refuse pile built up over time and the middens are what remains.

In 1857 a light house was built to prevent ships crashing into the notorious waters. 80 years later and more than 1000 soldiers were housed in a military camp at Cowan Cowan. In the decade between 1952 and 1962 Moreton Island went through a dark environmentally degrading time. 6277 whales were killed in this period nearly wiping out humpback whales. Tangalooma resort still houses the remnants of a dark past.

Today 95% of Moreton Island is national park and is truly beautiful. On a day trip to Moreton Island you can hope to see a range of wildlife including whales and dolphins, sand toboggan the giant sandy dunes, snorkel the sunken wrecks, feed the wild dolphins and visit the inland lakes ... and much more.

Australia's hidden wine gem!

Swan Valley wine tours

Any wine lover instantly recognises names such as the  Barossa Valley, Margaret River and the Yarra Valley. Some may even be able to state wines that are famous in these regions, however one of Australia's oldest wine regions is not often thought of instantly. Not only is it not as well known, but people are also often unaware that some of the best wine in Australia is produced in the Swan Valley.

The Swan Valley is situated just 20 minutes north East of Perth in the fertile land between Guildford and Bells Rapids. The Swan Valley wine region produces beautiful fortifieds and some very easy drinking Shiraz wines.

Some of the most notable wine makers are Houghton, Faber Vineyard, Heafod Glen, Lilac Hill Estate, Sittella and Upper Reach.

What to do in Tasmania

Port Arthur

Tasmania is land that is largely untouched, sleepy, and in some areas forgotten. It is known for its untouched World Heritage Listed wilderness and spectacular coastlines. Places like Freycinet Peninsula and Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain National Park and Tahune Forest Airwalk are a must when visiting Tasmania. One thing to remember is that Tasmania is more than just beautiful natural surroundings. Places like the Museum of Old & New Art are world renowned and draw more tourists than any other single tourist attraction. A stroll around Sullivans Cove and Salamanca Markets is a great day out but a 'must do' in Tasmania is a visit to Port Arthur historic site.

For 47 year Port Arthur was known as one of the harshest prison institutions in Australia and the world. From 1830 to 1877 more than 13000 inmates were house in truly harsh conditions and 2000 never made it out.

Today a tour to Port Arthur generally starts with an early pickup from your accommodation and a trip to the famous Richmond Colonial village. You will then head down to the Tasman Peninsula. Here you will find out about the infamous convict DOGLINE.

Before entering the Port Arthur Historic site you will spend time at the Tasman Arch & Devils Kitchen.

You will have plenty of time to explore Port Arthur, visit over 30 historic buildings, take a harbour cruise & walking tour to enhance the experience & check out the popular museum and theatre.

Before departing for Hobart we visit the stunning Remarkable Cave & check out the panoramic views from Maingon Bay Lookout ...a great place to see whales !

200km per hour on the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is recognised as one of the top tourist destination in Australia. It is not only known for its beautiful environment and climate, great beaches and Australia Zoo but the Sunshine Coast is also home to arguably the best skydive jump zone in Australia.

Climbing to 14000 feet whilst over looking the Sunshine Coast hinterland and spectacular beaches, almost distracts you enough, to stop you thinking that you are about to jump out of a perfectly good plane. After approximately a twenty minute climb you will reach the launch height. The door will slide open and your heart will beat so loudly it nearly drowns out the aircrafts motor. As you shuffle to the door the view of the Sunshine Coast is truly amazing. You will have a clear view of the Coast line from Caloundra to Noosa.

You will be asked to look up and the a blast of cold air hits you as you tumble out of the plane. Within seconds you will be plummeting towards the ground at speeds over 200 kilometres per hour.

After 60 sixty seconds you will hear a crack above your head as the parachute opens. For the next 5 minutes you will float under the canopy concluding on the golden sands of Coolum beach.

Byron Bay Skydiving $299

Byron Bay Skydiving

When British explorer George Herbert Leigh Mallory was asked why he wanted to climb Everest? His answer is was simple "because it's there". These three simple words are often what drives people to launch out of a perfectly good plane. Coming into Christmas, one of the most popular places to skydive from is Byron Bay. Byron is arguably one of the most spectacular beach side location on the Eastern side of Australia, making it a fantastic location to skydive.

A typical Byron Bay skydive has you arriving at your pre-organised jump time. At this stage you will need to sign all relevant waivers then meet the pilot that will have your life in his or her hands. They will take you through a few basic landing techniques then you will head out to the plane. For the next 20 minutes you will climb to 14000 feet thinking about why the bloody hell are you doing this. Then the instructor will open the door to the plane and you will be thinking about how you ever got talked into jumping out of a perfectly good plane. You will shuffle over to the door and dangle your feet out of the plane. Look up then fall. For the next 60 seconds you will reach speeds over 200km per hour and you will fall in love with skydiving. Suddenly you will hear a crack above your head as the shoot opens and for roughly five minute you will drift silently back down to earth.

This will be the greatest adrenalin rush of your life.

Choosing a Cairns reef option.

Cairns reef tours

It is easy to see, when viewed up close, why the Great Barrier Reef has been recognised as one of the 8 greatest natural wonders of the world. When looking to experience a Cairns reef tour a few options need to be considered. The first is inner reef or outer reef.

In Cairns the most popular inner reef options are either Green Island or Fitzroy Island. The greatest thing about the inner reef Islands is that it provides you the opportunity to explore the island as well as the reef. The reef is made up of a mixture of soft and hard corals. On the Islands there are many options, whilst you are there you can head out for a Heli flight, scuba dive, nature walk or simply relax on the beach or enjoy a cold beverage in the resort bar.

The outer reef options allow you to either choose a vessel that visits more than one reef location or that moors to an anchored pontoon, either way you are out at sea for the entire day.  The great thing about being onboard a boat that visits multiple reef locations is that they can select the best snorkelling locations depending on tides, currents and winds on the day. When experiencing the outer reef often water quality can be clearer and predominately hard corals will be viewed, this is not always possible at inner reef islands.

The other outer reef option is to board a vessel and head out to a floating pontoon. These pontoons are often placed in a location where they can offer a great reef system as well as an area that isn't effected by currents, wind and tides as much as other location. Pontoons can also provide spacious decks to relax and sunbath on as well as an underwater observatory, semi-submarine and glass bottom boat tours.

What ever your preference is Doittour.com can provide the best deals on all Cairns, reef tour options.

Once in Post Douglas there is plenty to enjoy: Head out to the outer reef, travel further north to experience the untouched Daintree rainforest or Mossman gorge or enjoy Cape Tribulation where the rainforest meets the sea.

Whale Watching 2013

As we find our way out of the winter woolies and into more Queensland appropriate clothing, many people have taken advantage of the cooler season on a whale watching experience. From the Gold Coast to Cairns the whales are playing. They are on their annual migration  into warmer waters for a little R and R and perhaps a baby or two. 

Popular options are:

Once up in Kuranda you will have roughly three hours to experience what ever you choose. After 3 hours of shopping, relaxing, eating or even visiting wildlife parks you then board the Skyrail for a unique view of the rainforest. As you glide slowly in your air conditioned cabin just metres above the rainforest canopy, you will get a view of the rainforest that is truly unique.
