You survived 2020 so now it’s time to escape the world and just RELAX in a tropical paradise that’s home to the earth’s whitest sandy beaches. Welcome to NSW Wanderlust schoolies, an experience that’s so utterly unique, it’s hard to pass up. Take a walk on the chill side as you splash into turquoise waters filled with dolphins, explore hidden waterfalls, dance under the moonlight and jump out of a plane!
Help rebuild and rejuvenate after the worst ever bushfires Australia has ever been through. Projects are based in small, friendly communities where they need the help the most. You will sleep under the stars in a traditional swag with your schoolies crew. When we aren’t doing meaningful work we’ll be off making adventurous memories, enjoying some of the world’s best white-sand beaches, hiking to spectacular waterfalls, enjoying chilled BBQ’s and a boogie by the lagoon. We have taken NSW’s most EPIC coastline and sprinkled it with good vibes. You can now relax and fully enjoy paradise. After the year that was, you deserve it!
This afternoon you will make your way to a central Sydney location where you will meet your
Schoolies crew members who will be with you for the duration of Schoolies week. Once the
whole crew has arrived we will pack the van and start the road trip down to Jervis Bay
(Approximately 2.5 hours). Make sure you keep an eye out the window for some of the 100 pristine beaches.
After arriving and settling into camp you can start relaxing and getting to know your new crew. Your leaders will talk you through an orientation to discuss the week ahead. Get ready for a week to remember!!
Overnight: Cabins, Jervis Bay
Today will be focused on giving back to the local community. Depending on the needs at the time, you will partner with one or more of these organisations for service within the local community. Some of the service projects include rebuilding burnt fences, tree replanting in the National parks, packing food hampers for families who have been displaced by the fires, helping out at a local wildlife refuge or using your teamwork to remove burnt rubble so families can rebuild their homes. Service projects will allow you to get to know locals and learn about issues facing this part of the world. In the afternoons we will get to explore the local area. Waterfalls hikes, ocean caves, surf lessons and a themed party night are just a few things we have up our sleeve. After a big few days it’s time to be rewarded.
Overnight: Cabins or Camping depending on service location, South Coast NSW
Jervis Bay’s famous white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters are amongst the most beautiful and safest beaches in the world. Offering rich Indigenous culture, resident dolphins, friendly kangaroos and the world’s whitest sand, I promise your group will never want to leave.
Wake up to a much-deserved beach day! Enjoy a swim, play beach cricket or try to spot dolphins. For lunch, you will get to try a famous Husky Meat Pie, then spend the afternoon feeling grounded and connected to our great land when you join an Indigenous cultural tour on Stand-Up Paddleboard. Be guided by an Indigenous local resident as you explore and discover the ecosystems that hold great importance to the Indigenous people of the Jervis Bay area.

This morning we will pack up camp for the final time and begin the 2.5hour road trip back to Sydney. But it’s not over just yet!!! What better way to finish off your schoolies week than jumping out of a plane?! Just to finish things off with a bang we are going to add in an optional sky diving stop on the way home. Jump from Australia’s highest altitude of up to 15,000 feet, directly over North Wollongong beach.
Experience the ultimate thrill of freefall at over 200 km/hr for up to an insane 60 seconds, and then float under a parachute for 5-7 minutes soaking up spectacular views of Wollongong and the Southern Sydney beaches. Schoolies stuck near home just doesn’t get any better.
Overnight – Your own Bed ☺
