Outdoor Adventure
Hold your breath and take the plunge into Somerset, the adventure capital of south east Queensland.
Take your experience to the next level and dive into Somerset’s extensive range of outdoor activities.
Home to Skydive Ramblers and Landcruiser Mountain Park, thrill seekers will find something exhilarating on the ground or in the air.
For those wanting to get off the ground and get your adrenaline pumping, Skydive Ramblers in Toogoolawah is the place to be. At Queensland’s first established skydiving centre, you can try a tandem skydive, take skydiving lessons or join in the many events held at the drop zone.
If jumping out of a plane is a little too adventurous, try an adrenaline experience with Pterodactyl Helicopters, flying at low levels along the Brisbane River with some hair raising tight turns. Alternatively, enjoy a winery or foodie tour by helicopter to take in the region’s wineries and country pubs.
Early risers can enjoy a hot air balloon ride with Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights for a bird’s eye view of Somerset and surrounding areas. Imagine floating majestically over the countryside while taking in the awe-inspiring views below.
Landcruiser Mountain Park is the ultimate four-wheel drive recreation park and the perfect place to set up camp. Get revved up on more than 200km of specially designed four-wheel drive tracks ranging from beginners to advanced off road drivers.
Get up close and personal with our four-legged friends and experience a different side of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with Nash Horse Trekking, Heartland Heavy Horses or for something a little different, walk a llama along the trail with Ottaba Llamas.
Head out on the water and explore the Brisbane River by canoe with One Tree Canoe Company.
Whatever your taste, there’s an adventure for everyone in Somerset.
