Step outside the bounds and be active. Get above, among and within the true nature of Canberra.

View Canberra's design from up high

Raise your pulse with a scenic walk from the Australian War Memorial to the top of Mount Ainslie. Take in the geometry and geography of Walter Burley Griffin's planned layout of the nation's capital.

Picturesque Lake Burley Griffin

Stroll or ride around Lake Burley Griffin and breathe in the fresh air between stops. Drop into the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Library of Australia, and Questacon - the National Science and Technology Centre. Grab a coffee or lunch along the way.

Horseride along the Poacher's Way

Discover the bush surrounds of the city on horseback at Burnelee. Explore the countryside on a trail ride with Excursions on Horseback, or join the thrill of a muster on a working station as part of the Poacher's Way.

Stromlo Forest Park

Cycle the venue that crowns world champions and the world's largest 24 hour race. Explore courses for all abilities to gain wonderful views of the city and nearby mountains. Jog along the cross country running tracks or even ride the equestrian trails.

Helicopter Joy Flights

Rise above it all with a helicopter experience around Canberra. Choose from wine tasting at one of the region's finest boutique wineries, dine in an 1865 pub with award-winning restaurant, fly to the snow or just drop into the convict history of Lanyon Homestead.

Skydiving and Paragliding

Freefall from an aeroplane while skydiving over the nation's capital for an unforgettable adrenaline-charged experience, or soar over the countryside like an eagle on a paraglider. Both of these will leave you smiling for days.
