Australia offers diverse natural experiences, from the iconic Blue Mountains in New South Wales and the Great Barrier Reef along Queensland’s coast to more rustic adventures like horseback riding at Burnelee Excursions in the Australian Capital Territory. Burnelee, a family-owned 1,416-hectare property, features ecologically significant grasslands and native wildlife, with horseback rides suitable for all skill levels, including a popular Twilight Ride that combines sunset views with local food tastings.

For those preferring coastal nature, Turtle Sands eco-resort near Mon Repos in Queensland provides varied accommodations and access to Australia’s largest sea turtle nesting site. Guests can join guided night tours from November to March to witness turtles nesting and hatchlings reaching the sea, or explore the Southern Great Barrier Reef through snorkeling and diving tours, immersing themselves in vibrant marine life and conservation efforts.
