Rock out in Western Australia\u2019s wilderness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"\/australia\/western-australia\">Western Australia<\/a>\u2019s second-largest national park, spanning over 6000 square kilometres, Karijini National Park is an outdoor enthusiast\u2019s playground. And now, on the five-day <a href=\"\/australia\/karijini-explorer-166442\">Karijini Explorer<\/a> Short Break, you can get up close to another of the park\u2019s key geological structures: Joffre Gorge. Join your leader for an afternoon hike around this 50 metre-high natural amphitheatre (shaped by a curved seasonal waterfall) and explore the gorge via some steep ladder descents and rock scrambling to get to the pools. Once you\u2019re at the base of the falls, you\u2019ve earned the right for a well-deserved swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Defy gravity while zorbing in New Zealand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One minute you\u2019re taking a leisurely hike to the summit of Mount Maunganui. The next, you\u2019re in a zorb, hurtling down a hill on the new 18-to-35s <a href=\"\/new-zealand\/one-week-new-zealand-north-island-168258\">One Week in New Zealand: North Island<\/a> trip. The newest country to be added to Intrepid\u2019s <a href=\"\/oceania\/18-35s\">18 to 35s<\/a> range, New Zealand is all about adventure. During the rest of the trip, journey to waterfalls, geysers, farms and even a one-of-a-kind village, the Whakarewarewa&nbsp;Maori&nbsp;Village, built alongside geothermal vents in Rotorua. Learn about how residents harness geothermal energy as you tour the site, visiting an active marae (communal meeting ground) and tapu&nbsp;(sacred burial grounds).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/the-goods-2026-new-trips-experiences\/\">26 totally new Intrepid trips and experiences<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3.jpg\" alt=\"Kalbarri National Park, Western Australia. \" class=\"wp-image-88235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-WA-Kalbarri-NP-gorge-lookout-river-natures-window-shutterstock_1450486631-3-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Explore the viewpoints of Kalbarri National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Toast to a local meal in Western Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over on the west coast of Australia sits Kalbarri National Park, a stop on the new <a href=\"\/australia\/west-coast-adventure-northbound-166447\">West Coast Adventure (Northbound)<\/a>&nbsp;trip. Although it\u2019s a national park, the area also has a strong pastoral working history, as you\u2019ll learn all about on the Murchison Glow Dinner Experience. Unlike a campfire meal you may have had before, the four-course sunset dinner on the Murchison River offers a little something extra. All courses feature uniquely Australian flavours and locally sourced ingredients cooked by your hosts and accompanied by drinks. You\u2019re sure to work up an appetite with the afternoon spent touring the 150-year history of the Murchison House Station and exploring the river by canoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Sleep on South Island waters in Doubtful Sound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New to the New Zealand Premium range from September 2026 is an overnight cruise to Milford Sound\u2019s lesser-visited cousin, Doubtful Sound. This new experience brings the remote shores of the country\u2019s second-largest fjord to life with the addition of an onboard nature specialist, locally sourced three-course dinner and \u2013 if the weather cooperates \u2013 a kayak outing. With fewer boats on the water, marine inhabitants \u2013 including Fiordland crested penguins, bottlenose dolphins and fur seals \u2013\u00a0often make their presence known and can be spotted from the deck. As well as the Fjordlands scenery, a highlight of the <a href=\"\/new-zealand\/premium-new-zealand-south-island-167697\">Premium New Zealand South Island<\/a> trip is sure to be waking up to the rising mist and lapping waters the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"An Intrepid group in South Island, New Zealand. \" class=\"wp-image-88231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-New-Zealand-South-Island-Adventure-Punakaiki-2-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Take in the sights of the South Island with a group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

You\u2019ll be soaking up the best of New Zealand\u2019s great outdoors from a seat in a Skyline Gondola, aboard a ferry in the Marlborough Sounds and strapped into a light, toboggan-style luge, racing down a hill in Queenstown. When you\u2019re not out in the open, you may be in a state-of-the-art immersive experience such as the Museum of Kawatiri in Westport, learning about the Polynesian heritage and natural resources of the Buller District.&nbsp;Using modern technology to bring the stories to life, you\u2019ll get a full picture of Maori&nbsp;life in this treasure-rich region of South Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/the-goods-new-indigenous-experiences\/\">10 new ways to connect with Indigenous culture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery alignwide is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ry9P4t7byiY-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ry9P4t7byiY-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ry9P4t7byiY-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1080&#038;ssl=1 1080w\" alt=\"The Koala Trail on Raymond Island.\" data-height=\"1920\" data-id=\"88225\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/?attachment_id=88225\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ry9P4t7byiY-unsplash.jpg\" data-width=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ry9P4t7byiY-unsplash.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-SIy3RIN8Nj0-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-SIy3RIN8Nj0-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-SIy3RIN8Nj0-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1080&#038;ssl=1 1080w\" alt=\"Meeting the residents of the Koala Trail on Raymond Island.\" data-height=\"1920\" data-id=\"88224\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/?attachment_id=88224\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-SIy3RIN8Nj0-unsplash.jpg\" data-width=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-SIy3RIN8Nj0-unsplash.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" aria-label=\"Open image 2 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33333%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ZpfPx69PpJU-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ZpfPx69PpJU-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ZpfPx69PpJU-unsplash.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1080&#038;ssl=1 1080w\" alt=\"Exploring the Koala Trail on Raymond Island with Intrepid.\" data-height=\"1920\" data-id=\"88223\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/?attachment_id=88223\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ZpfPx69PpJU-unsplash.jpg\" data-width=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zoe-askew-ZpfPx69PpJU-unsplash.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" aria-label=\"Open image 3 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Then, after crossing into New South Wales, you\u2019re in for two experiences highlighting how Australians live with their land. The first will take you along the coast with a Country Custodian as you partake in the Bilbaan Cultural Experience.
