Read on, enjoy and get ready to live life on the edge again.
With so much time inside lately, there’s no question that a lot of us are ready to get out there, get out of our comfort zones, and get our heart rates up – and now we can!
Today we’re diving into some of the coolest things across the Geelong region that’ll send shivers down your spine.
Warbird Aerobatic Flight
This gives you an opportunity to be a fighter pilot for a day in a pretty cool ex-military Warbird fighter plane. For an unforgettable 10 minutes, you’ll be flown in all directions, the experience full of advanced manoeuvres and weightlessness that you can’t experience on an A380.
The flight takes off from Barwon Heads, where you’ll get stunning views of the Surf Coast, Bells Beach and the widely popular Great Ocean Road, if you’re not queasy from the topsy-turvy flight you’re on.
Book it in here through Redballoon.

Clay Shooting
This awesome experience takes place out of Quandong, just a short drive from Geelong. You’ll get to try out shooting clay blocks, which sounds like a great way to kill some time and get some of that anger out.
They equip you with all the stuff you need – equipment, ammo, and a bunch of safety gear, so you’ll be sure it’s a safe venture. It’s pretty cheap as well, $149 for 150 minutes, a steal for the value you get out of it.

Swim With Dolphins
If you’re not up to swimming with the sharks just yet, start off with their quiet counterparts, dolphins. Run out of Queenscliff by the award-winning Sea All Dolphin Swims, this combo gives you the best of the beach in one little package.
It’ll involve you jumping on a boat, taking a trip around the bay, and swimming with some stunning Seals, dolphins and lots more at the world-renown diving and snorkelling site Pope’s Eye marine park. This’ll be one of the coolest experiences you’ll get.
