Believe it or not, you don\u2019t need to spend hours sweating in a stuffy gym to stay fit and healthy. Australia offers a world of options for fun, active holidays \u2013 we&#8217;ve lined up some of our favourites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trekking Holidays:&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tThe Dandenong Ranges offer a wealth of options for a healthy holiday. One&nbsp;highlight is the 1,000 steps.&nbsp;The incline is steep and the distance measures 3km, so the trek should take around an hour and a half to complete. Native wildlife offers tweets of encouragement as sunlight bleeds through gaps in the ferns and manna gum &#8211; this fun and challenging Victorian trek is nature at its best. It\u2019s worth noting that the path can be very busy over the weekend, especially in the morning.<br><br \/>\n\tIf you\u2019re heading west, consider the Margaret River Cape to Cape walk. You\u2019ll begin at the lighthouse at Cape Naturaliste and finish up at Cape Leeuwin, soaking up 135 kilometres of natural Western Australian beauty along the way. The trek follows the glorious coastline for most of the way, so you won\u2019t be short of sparkling waters and sweeping clifftop views. All up, the walk should take you between six to eight days.<br><br \/>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"934\" width=\"1400\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" class=\"media-element file-default nova-lazyload-image-wrapper lz-cont img-responsive\" data-delta=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gettyimages-812523636.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><em>Margaret River&nbsp;walking trails, WA.

Snorkelling has a low impact on joints, strengthens your muscles and helps build you lung capacity, making it a fun and relaxing option for a healthy holiday in Australia. &nbsp;<br><br \/>\n\tWe recommend snorkelling your way through the Tangalooma Wrecks (Moreton Island, Queensland), where 15 purposefully sunken ships attract a world of aquatic life (pictured above). Otherwise, check out the waters near the Abrolhos Islands in WA, a chain of 122 islands in the Indian Ocean or Lady Elliot Island, the \u2018Home of the Manta Ray\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surf Holidays:&nbsp;<\/strong><br><br \/>\n\tThe best way to experience a beach is to learn to surf. Australia has 37,000km of beautiful rolling coastline, perfect for dipping a toe or diving in head first. Paddling is good for your cardiovascular fitness, as well as your shoulder and back strength. Standing up on the board will work your legs and core, as well as your balance. &nbsp;Surfing is good for the body, the soul and is a great way to relieve stress and tension. Plus, it\u2019s family friendly \u2013 you\u2019re never too young to hit the beach!<br><br \/>\n\tNoosa is renowned for its surf breaks, subtropical weather and creative culture while Angourie (just south of&nbsp;Byron Bay)&nbsp;steeps with natural beauty. Heading further south, you won\u2019t want to miss Bells Beach in Victoria (specifically Winkipop, the undisputed king of the Surf Coast). If you\u2019re in WA, the beaches around Margaret River are not to be missed.<br><br \/>\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"933\" width=\"1400\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" class=\"media-element file-default nova-lazyload-image-wrapper lz-cont img-responsive\" data-delta=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/gettyimages-138523500.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><em>Surfers heading out for a dip.

Camping and caravan holidays are a great way to enjoy nature while retaining a huge amount of flexibility. Top Parks offer a range of accommodation options, including studios, lodgings, en suite cabins, powered and unpowered sites \u2013 all well positioned to make the most of the great Australian outdoors.<br><br \/>\n\tTop Parks also offer a wealth of opportunities&nbsp;for a healthy holiday. Many of the parks sit just a stone\u2019s throw from the beach, while many in land locations boast swimming pools, water activities and forests or bushland &#8211; perfect for active adventures.<br><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/clk?id=4505650055&amp;iu=\/7426\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Visit Top Parks for more information on locations and accommodation options<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In partnership with&nbsp;Top Parks, here are our top picks for healthy holidays in Australia.
