Jetboat Extreme + Helitours was fantastic! The jetboat was incredibly thrilling; I threw my hands up and felt a rush during the drifts. The driver and guide's skills were top-notch. We also had a 10-minute helicopter scenic flight. The staff arranged for us to wait an extra 30 minutes so we could witness the beautiful sunset from the helicopter, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely do Jetboat Extreme again if I get the chance in the future.

This was a very therapeutic and enjoyable trip. Our guide, Terry, was also very efficient in leading everyone, and the winery staff were highly professional. The lunch was delicious too. It's a perfect itinerary to share with friends who enjoy wine.

What a great experience! The shuttle arrived at the hotel right on time. It took about an hour to get up the mountain, and it was really cold in Australia during winter mornings and evenings, so we had to dress warmly. The staff were very nice and efficient; we were airborne in no time! Everyone was so excited after takeoff, floating around and seeing lots of forest animals. Looking down from above, everything looked like tiny LEGOs, just like playing with toys when I was little. The world is truly vast, and humans are so small! There was a small incident: when we were packing up at the end, my phone fell out of my pocket into the folded hot air balloon. The staff didn't mind at all and helped me look for it. Thankfully, another group member found it. I'm so grateful! 🥹

Highly recommend this hot air balloon experience! 🎈
We even had the chance to take photos inside the hot air balloon and help pack it away after the flight, which made the experience even more memorable. The pilot was very experienced, friendly, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the journey.
Our package also included a delicious breakfast at the Sheraton Grand Hotel. They even dropped us off there after the flight and kindly helped us book a Grab back to our hotel.
It was a wonderful and well-organised experience from start to finish. Definitely worth it!

Waking up before dawn, I thought to myself, "Is it really worth it?" The moment the hot air balloon took off, there was only one answer: absolutely worth it! So incredibly worth it! After the flight, there's a delicious breakfast, wine tasting, and you even get to feed alpacas. If you're also looking for an experience that offers: ✔️ One early morning for a lifetime of memories ✔️ Collecting beautiful daytime and sunrise views all at once ✔️ Enjoying fine wine, delicious food, and adorable alpacas all in one go The only downside is... after experiencing this once, all other trips start to feel ordinary.🤣

All good. Staff at the check in office were a bit over tourists though, just a bit rude, but the experience itself was nice

Scanning the QR code for e-tickets was incredibly convenient and fast for entry! This time, I was lucky enough to see a massive humpback whale leap out of the water, along with playful dolphins swimming alongside and a stunning sunset over the sea. The scenery was truly breathtaking and incredibly therapeutic! The boat had clean restrooms, and although the indoor cabin was a bit stuffy and warm, and those prone to seasickness are advised to take motion sickness medication in advance and spend time on the deck for fresh air, seeing the whales firsthand made it all absolutely worthwhile. Highly recommended! Itinerary: Thumbs up! 👍

What to know before visiting Gold Coast
Quick snapshot of Gold Coast and what to expect
Gold Coast is a sun-and-sea playground where theme parks, observation decks and zoos & aquariums lead bookings, with tours and outdoor sports also popular. Demand swings through the year: Klook data shows clear summer peaks and much quieter pockets in early autumn.
Best times to go and how prices move
Klook booking data points to the busiest month being July and the quietest being March. Prices on Klook drift modestly across the year: they hit their lowest typical level in July and August and rise toward the turn of the year, with the priciest typical level seen in January. If you want fewer crowds and lower typical prices, target March for the smallest demand or July/August if you prefer peak-season atmosphere but should expect larger crowds; note that July is both a peak in demand and one of the months with typically lower listed prices compared with the paast peak in January, so price and demand don’t always move in the same direction.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences around Gold Coast can be booked at short notice — typical Klook bookings show travellers securing activities about a day ahead, with some choosing to book earlier up to a couple of weeks. For flexible, last-minute plans you can still find options, but consider booking a little earlier for busy July dates to lock in popular time slots. Browse Klook for theme park and outdoor activity choices and book when you see an option that fits your schedule.
