By Dinesh Singh @travellerpath

Who hasn’t heard of the famous Bondi Beach in Sydney? Almost everyone does. But how many know that Bondi Beach is a haven for adrenaline junkies? Not many. That’s right. You think of Bondi Beach, you think beach bumming, cool lifestyle, and maybe surfing. Oh, that’s only just the beginning!

Go Catch A Wave!

Bondi is almost synonymous about surfing, so we’ll cover that first. Come summer, elite global surfers gather at Sydney’s beaches, especially Bondi. Want to learn to surf? No problem. Bondi Beach’s surfing schools have got you covered; you’ll be surfing in under two hours!

Here’s something you’ll love – how about speeding, fishtailing and spinning 270-degrees on a luxury power jet boat at Sydney Harbor? A single high-thrill sightseeing jet boat tour of Sydney Harbor will not suffice. You’ll want to experience the raw power of the jet again and again!

Enjoy Some Wakeboarding

You can wakeboard to your heart’s content on Bondi Beach. The surfing schools there also take wakeboarding lessons and even help you with equipment rentals. Bondi beach is a wakeboarding heaven, where you can safely learn to wakeboard and to waterski.

Go Mountain Crazy!

Just a half hour’s distance from Bondi is the amazing Blue Mountains, where you can experience all kinds of rocky thrills. Talk about canyoning, abseiling, and rock climbing, caving, mountain biking and adventure bushwalking. You can see those dramatic sandstone gorges right from Bondi.

Is Tandem Skydiving Your Thing?

Here’s the thing – you can watch the skies from Bondi or fall towards Bondi from the skies at 150 miles250 kilometers) an hour. Falling from a height of 14,000 feet from a plane right on to Bondi Beach will be the experience of a lifetime.

Climb The Ship’s Mast!

Want to do something not many have tried? Sydney Harbor has a few of the tall ships of old, with the tall masts. Adrenaline junkies can challenge themselves to climb these tall masts that go up for 150 feet or more. Are you up to it?

Head Out For Some Power Skate-boarding

Want to join Bondi’s powerful skateboarding tribe? Head out to the Bondi Skate Park and get on your power skateboard. If you’re not ready to participate yet, do attend the Bowl-A-Rama in February. It’s only just the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest professional skateboarding event.

How About A Trike Tour?

How about an unforgettable tour that covers the area around Sydney Harbor on a trike? If you’ve never been on a trike, it’s a fast motorbike with a back that can seat two people. No, we’re not talking about a comfortable sightseeing tour.  We’re talking about a zipping, rugged drive around Sydney’s landmarks on a roaring trike.

Open-air Acrobatics, Anyone?

All the other adventures literally pale in comparison when you sign up for an adrenalin-pumping acrobatic biplane adventure. Yes, you’ll be in a jet-powered A-37B Dragonfly or an open-air aerobatic biplane, holding on for dear life while the pilot puts you through barrel rolls, hammerhead turns and loop-the-loops. After a range of suicidal aerial maneuvers, if you still have breath left in you, try your hand at some of Bondi’s other sporty delights!
