Travel Guides

Snorkeling is maybe one of the most instructive way to spend a vacation. Simultaneously, snorkeling is very relaxing, cheap and easy to practice, even for the bad swimmers. There are no competition for snorkeling, it is rather an intimate contact to the water and its hidden beauties.

For snorkeling you only need a snorkel, a mask, and optionally swimfins and special suits in the cooler waters. Besides, you need a good location for snorkeling, which means clear water with spectacular views (shipwrecks, coral reefs, fishes or other interesting aspects of wild marine life). And of course, the wish for snorkeling and the necesary time to do it- but you are in vacations!

Beware during snorkeling to the dangers and hazards which can occur :

1.Sunburns, as your body is totally immersed, and you won’t feel any sign of burns. Fight sunburns using special protection suits in the tropical waters.

Adventure holidays in Australia

Australia has a number of diverse and extreme landscapes and climates, from the subtropical forests to the beautiful rugged coastlines and to the dry, sparse outback, so it is a great place to get away from it all and have an adventure holiday.

There are plenty of hiking and trekking holidays through the wilderness areas of Australia, which will suit a variety of different fitness levels. Auswalk offers a range of guided and self guided ‘Inn-to-Inn’ walking tours, including some great treks through the best of Australia’s National Parks. Auswalk arrange for your luggage to be moved ahead of you each day, so that you have everything ready when you arrive at the next accommodation stop. Walking trips include the famous ‘Great Ocean Walk‘, which takes you along the beautiful Victoria coastline from Torquay to Lorne, and has a seven day itinerary (five days walking). Also there is the Peninsula Ramble, which takes you across the Mornington Peninsula in Southern Melbourne, which has some fantastic coastal scenery and beaches and like the Great Ocean Walk has a seven day itinerary. If you fancy something a little shorter and more sedate then there is a wonderful trek through the tropical paradise of Magnetic Island in the Great Barrier Reef region, which is just three days walking.
