Need to take some time off? Get out of the city and out of your comfort zone with UWA Sports trips and tours. From our one day mountain biking in the Perth hills to the more extreme SCUBA diving off the Abrolhos Islands, there’s plenty to keep your inner adventurer satisfied all year. Live the experience, take a trip with UWA Sports.
Abseiling Day - 2 April / 28 May - $40 Learn how to abseil on a natural cliff face with this one day course. You’ll spend the day tackling different abseils, from moderate nursery slopes to more challenging overhangs.
Adventure Day Walk - 17 April - $40 Join us for a leisurely stroll along the Bibbulmun Track. Enjoy the wonderful scenery and wildlife as we wonder along the track in Perths hills.
Mountain Biking Day - 26 March / 14 May - $40 Do you like speed and adrenaline? Want to feel more than the wind in your hair when you go cycling? Mountain biking will get your heart racing, as you speed down steep and uneven terrain.
Rock Climbing Day - 10 April / 8 May - $40 Have you ever wanted to try the sport of rock climbing but not known where to start? This course, aimed at beginners and intermediate climbers, covers rope work, knots and belaying as well as basic climbing technique.
Vertical Challenges, Margaret River - 22 to 24 April - $200Rock climbing, abseiling and caving all rolled into one trip. Feel like you’re on top of the world at Wilyabrup sea cliffs or in the depths of the earth in Golgotha Cave.
Blackwood River Canoeing Adventure - 22 to 24 April - $200Want to see the south west from a sitting position? Come for a trip down the Blackwood River. Be on your guard though, this is no relaxing paddle, as you manoeuvre through white water, down rapids, and around rocks and trees.
Ultimate Sailing Workshop - 27 to 29 April - $200Get on board UWA’s own Foundation 36ft yacht; the Centennial for a 3 day workshop held right on our front doorstep. Over the 3 days you will be shown the finer skills of sailing and get to use these skills in mid week and twilight races.
Please note: Prices shown are UWA Sport Association Member / Sports Card Holder prices.Non-member prices may vary.

Need to take some time off? Get out of the city and out of your comfort zone with UWA Sports trips and tours. From our one day mountain biking in the Perth hills to the more extreme SCUBA diving off the Abrolhos Islands, there’s plenty to keep your inner adventurer satisfied all year. Live the experience, take a trip with UWA Sports.
Abseiling Day - 2 April / 28 May - $40 Learn how to abseil on a natural cliff face with this one day course. You’ll spend the day tackling different abseils, from moderate nursery slopes to more challenging overhangs.
Adventure Day Walk - 17 April - $40 Join us for a leisurely stroll along the Bibbulmun Track. Enjoy the wonderful scenery and wildlife as we wonder along the track in Perths hills.
Mountain Biking Day - 26 March / 14 May - $40 Do you like speed and adrenaline? Want to feel more than the wind in your hair when you go cycling? Mountain biking will get your heart racing, as you speed down steep and uneven terrain.
Rock Climbing Day - 10 April / 8 May - $40 Have you ever wanted to try the sport of rock climbing but not known where to start? This course, aimed at beginners and intermediate climbers, covers rope work, knots and belaying as well as basic climbing technique.
Vertical Challenges, Margaret River - 22 to 24 April - $200Rock climbing, abseiling and caving all rolled into one trip. Feel like you’re on top of the world at Wilyabrup sea cliffs or in the depths of the earth in Golgotha Cave.
Blackwood River Canoeing Adventure - 22 to 24 April - $200Want to see the south west from a sitting position? Come for a trip down the Blackwood River. Be on your guard though, this is no relaxing paddle, as you manoeuvre through white water, down rapids, and around rocks and trees.
Ultimate Sailing Workshop - 27 to 29 April - $200Get on board UWA’s own Foundation 36ft yacht; the Centennial for a 3 day workshop held right on our front doorstep. Over the 3 days you will be shown the finer skills of sailing and get to use these skills in mid week and twilight races.

Testimonial
Ashlee is five years old. She spends many a day playing with her barbie dolls and watching DVDs. In the past she has shown little interest in ball games. That soon changed just after two days in the UWA Uni Sport For Kids program! I’m usually wary of enrolling Ashlee in new programs due to her peanut allergy. I was comforted by the fact that the USFK leaders are trained in the use of epi-pens and are conscious of her specific requirements.
