Gold Coast
Must Do
Experience the beauty of nature at Burleigh Heads National Park by taking the 3 km Rainforest Track which will lead you through a stunning rainforest to a viewpoint overlooking the magnificent Pacific Ocean.
Then, continue on your journey with the Ocean View Track, offering you with breathtaking views of the ocean as you follow the coastline.
The Gold Coast is not only popular for surfing and beaches, but also for its famous Australian theme parks that attract many visitors every year:
Dream World is the largest amusement park in Australia. Thrill seekers will be in heaven! Expect to experience: a freefall in an elevator, roller coasters, and unique attractions like a motorcycle-themed roller coaster and spinning aircraft rides.
Wet’N’Wild: the largest water park in Australia. For a more than refreshing day, take a ride down one of the park’s many slides, lounge by the wave pool or in the bubble bath. If you are a fan of water activities, you will love it!
Warner Bros. Movie World: This amusement park is based on the cinema. The attractions feature superheroes and characters from Warner Bros. films.
Feast at the Miami Marketta Market, a street food market that offers dishes from many countries. It is open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 pm. In addition to enjoying good food, you can attend concerts or shows. The perfect spot for an enjoyable night.
Surfers Paradise is the must-see town on the Gold Coast. Life in Surfers Paradise is very lively, especially the nightlife, but this place is also popular for its long beaches and skyscrapers. This is where Australia’s tallest tower “Q1 Tower” is located, climb to the top of this tower at the “SkyPoint Observation Deck” and enjoy a 360° view of the Gold Coast!
Spend the day on the long white sandy Surfers Paradise Beach, which is great for walking and swimming, or just sunbathing.
Stroll down the pedestrian street to Cavill Mall, a place bursting with life where you’ll find everything from bars and stores to restaurants and nightclubs.
Experience the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets, a night market on the esplanade, held every Friday and Saturday from 4 to 9 pm. Many artists present their creations. There are also food and clothing stands. It’s the perfect place to buy Australian souvenirs and find original gifts!
About an hour southwest of Gold Coast, explore Springbrook National Park.
It will take you several days to visit this park. This park is exceptional and worth the detour, many hikes are accessible within this park.
The hike to the famous Natural Bridge is a fairly easy path through a forest with majestic trees. Upon arrival, you will be able to contemplate a waterfall through a pierced rock: an original and sumptuous waterfall!
For a night walk, don’t miss the natural light of Natural Bridge, this light comes from thousands of glow worms residing in the cave, a unique and natural show.
Experience a breathtaking view of the Springbrook Mountains by visiting the Best of All Lookout. A short walk through the rainforest will lead you to a lookout point with a magnificent panoramic view of the national park.
For a stunning panoramic view, visit the Wunburra Lookout for an awe-inspiring view of the natural landscape and the distant skyscrapers of the Gold Coast.
