Adventure Activities in Launceston
We know Northern Tasmania is spoilt for choice with great food and scenic attractions, but if you’re looking for activities that are a bit outside the box, to get you into the outdoors, and perfect for those looking for something adventurous, consider these three activities.
Shelter construction with natural materials
Survival Courses
Survival Courses Tasmania believe that the most important aspect of surviving in the wild is gaining the right knowledge while being able to apply that knowledge and use it to your advantage by learning and honing practical, hands-on skills. These courses are perfect for adventurers looking for a unique, outdoor activity that stretches their knowledge and skills.
They offer four quite different and varied courses – from the essential basic through to the advanced stage.
Training all ages in essential, genuine survival techniques through carefully designed training courses in a mixture of indoor and outdoor instruction. Additionally, the courses also teach you resilience, resourcefulness, teamwork, problem solving, as well as the core discipline of survival.
Well-structured courses are designed to span a range of specialist knowledge and skill sets, from the priorities of survival (the correct clothing, constructing natural shelters, fire preparation, natural navigation, procuring water etc) to modern and traditional skill sets.
