About us

At Local Adventures, we believe the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of the people who live there. That’s why everything we do is about helping visitors uncover the real stories, flavours, and hidden gems of our regions, starting with Agnes Water and 1770.

Local Adventures is not your average discount site or travel directory. It’s a locally curated collection of experiences, recommendations, and offers that make exploring more affordable and meaningful. From our popular Perks Pass to our region-specific itineraries and insider tips, we connect you with the cafés, tours, attractions, and small retailers that locals truly love.

Locals Know Best

Every recommendation on Local Adventures has been hand-picked by people who actually live and work in the region. We know:

• which café makes the best morning coffee before a beach walk,
• which sunset lookout is worth the extra detour,
• and which tour operators turn a good day into an unforgettable one.

By combining local knowledge with real value, we’ve created a visitor pass that’s far more than just a list of discounts: it’s your key to experiencing a destination the way locals do. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or planning a longer stay, the Perks Pass gives you access to genuine savings and suggestions that help you make the most of every moment.

Explore More, Spend Less

Travelling doesn’t need to be expensive to be rewarding. With the Perks Pass, you can stretch your travel budget while still supporting local businesses. Enjoy deals on everything from kayaking and day tours to local dining and retail shopping  and they are all up to four people. It’s an easy, digital way to explore more of what a region has to offer, without needing to chase down coupons or search through endless websites.

Each participating business offers something special: a little thank you for choosing local. Some provide discounts, others offer added value or special inclusions, but all of them share the same goal: to make your time in the region better, brighter, and more memorable.

Supporting Local Communities

Local Adventures is built on community. Every dollar you save helps small tourism operators, family-run cafés, artists, and retailers thrive. We’re passionate about keeping money in local economies and helping visitors form genuine connections with the people behind the counter, on the tour boat, or in the workshop.

When you choose to use the Perks Pass, you’re doing more than finding a great deal:  you’re supporting local jobs, encouraging sustainable tourism, and helping small businesses keep their doors open year-round.

Curated Itineraries & Must-Do Experiences

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered. Our itineraries are designed by locals who know how to string together the perfect day out. Whether it’s a foodie adventure, a day of water activities, or a relaxed meander through local markets, our guides help you experience the rhythm of the region not just the highlights on a map.

Every itinerary includes a blend of iconic stops and hidden gems, paired with perks from participating businesses. It’s the easiest way to plan a trip that feels spontaneous, personal, and full of surprises.

A Modern Twist on the Classic Visitor Book

Think of Local Adventures as the next generation of the old “discount book”: only smarter, digital, and designed for today’s travellers. Instead of tearing out vouchers, you carry your perks on your phone, ready to use at cafés, shops, and attractions throughout the region. It’s simple, secure, and valid for a whole year, so you can keep coming back for more adventures.
