We met by the side of the road. Several companies had canoes loaded and were parked on the street, ready to go, so I showed my Klook reservation screen and asked around to see if it was their tour. Since the map location was approximate, I recommend actively asking any car with canoes loaded. The tour started at 7:30 AM, and they were there promptly before the scheduled time and called out my reservation name. It's a little nerve-wracking to meet the guide, but it's easy to find them, so please head there with confidence. Also, in my case, the day before, I received a message from the guide via Gmail suggesting that since the weather wasn't looking good, I should change my 10:30 AM start time to 7:30 AM. They also told me that snorkeling would offer a clearer view in the morning. Although I was worried about waking up early, I changed it because I wanted to see the beautiful ocean. I was touched by how kind they were to proactively contact me based on the weather. This email exchange made me feel confident that I would enjoy myself at the location. Four women gathered, and I rode in a canoe with one other person, while the other two rode in single canoes. They asked if I preferred a single or a pair, and if it was my first time, and then paired us up accordingly, which was great. They explained the photo route and the flow of the activity, so even if my English wasn't perfect, I understood everything without any problems. Once we started, it was a lot of fun, and the guide explained about the birds and shared various stories. They also took photos while we were canoeing, which created lifelong memories. They lent us waterproof backpacks, wetsuits, and snorkels. I definitely think a towel and swimsuit are essential. Also, there are no changing facilities, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit beforehand. We saw many beautiful fish in the ocean. Those near the rocks and those in slightly deeper areas were truly beautiful. Other companies were also snorkeling in the same area, and there were boats in slightly deeper waters, but we enjoyed it without any issues. This is definitely one of the activities I will do again when I come to the Gold Coast.

Every summer vacation, my family and I take a trip. This year, during the booking period, we happened to watch a TV program about Australia, so we decided on Australia's Gold Coast. I also wanted to experience a hot air balloon ride, so I booked one through Klook. Although the pickup was quite early in the morning, they arrived at the hotel right on time. There was a restroom break on the way to the plateau, and as we got closer, a DVD played explanations and注意事项 (important information/precautions) in English, Chinese, and Japanese inside the vehicle, which made my excitement level reach its peak. We slowly floated up into the crisp, silent air of dawn, truly 'wherever the wind blew,' and were able to watch the sunrise from the horizon during our hour-long aerial stroll. Upon landing in the pasture, we were greeted by grazing cows. It was a precious experience that's hard to come by in Japan, as we helped the approximately 20 participants and the Hot Air Balloon staff waiting at the landing spot fold and pack up the hot air balloon, and enjoyed sparkling wine.

Our first time riding a helicopter, and honestly, what an unforgettable experience. 🚁🥹 It was a mix of excitement and nervousness at first, but once we were up in the air and saw everything from a completely different perspective, it was all worth it. There’s something so surreal about looking down and realizing how beautiful everything is from above. 🩶

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.🤣

Had fun surfing in the Broadbeach. Our Coach Rohan and Jack were super friendly. Go ride a wave surfing operates in three different locations: Surfers paradise, Broadbeach, and Coolangata. If you want to book surfing lesson at Broadbeach, then you have to reach Kurrawa Surf center and wait in the parking lot.

We booked this activity after our whale watching tour. When I showed them the Klook voucher, I was able to check in and was instructed to get changed and meet at the designated spot 5 minutes before the start time. We waited comfortably in the whale watching reception area until it was time. SeaWorld was right in front of us, so I think it would be a great idea to combine this activity with a visit to SeaWorld. When the time came, the only preparation needed was to put on life jackets. The staff helped each person put theirs on, which was reassuring. There's a storage area for belongings, about the size of a locker at a hot spring, where you can put your items. However, the locks are easily opened by anyone, which made me feel very uneasy about security. If you want to bring things to the boarding area, I'd suggest putting only essential items in a waterproof case and keeping them close to your body. But I haven't tried that method myself. I just went with the flow, put my valuables in the locker, and enjoyed the activity. It was cold at the beginning of September, but the driver and staff were very enthusiastic, making it a fantastic memory. I purchased the GoPro video they took for $25. It included a photo with the boat at the beginning and a reaction video of us on the ride. The video was edited like a commercial, so it was definitely worth it. It was an activity I'd love to do again.

What to know before visiting Gold Coast
Top Attractions in the Gold Coast
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
You can meet koalas, kangaroos, and many Australian animals in this large wildlife park. It’s great for families and offers shows, feeding sessions, and close encounters. The sanctuary sits near beautiful coastal areas, so you can enjoy the beach afterward.
Warner Bros. Movie World
One of the Gold Coast’s most popular theme parks, Movie World features roller coasters, movie-themed rides, and live entertainment. Kids will love meeting superheroes and cartoon characters, while adults enjoy the big thrill rides.
SkyPoint Observation Deck
Located at the top of the Q1 building in Surfers Paradise, SkyPoint gives you amazing 360-degree views of the coast. You can grab a drink, take photos of the Surfers Paradise skyline, or try the SkyPoint Climb for extra adventure.

Best Places to Visit in Gold Coast
Surfers Paradise
This is the heart of the Gold Coast, known for its golden beach, tall hotels, and nightlife. You can swim, learn to surf, shop, or enjoy restaurants right by the ocean.
Broadbeach
Broadbeach is calmer than Surfers Paradise but still full of things to do. It has parks, markets, beach playgrounds, and great dining. It's perfect for families and travelers looking for a more relaxed area.
Headlands
Headlands around the Gold Coast offer some of the best views of the coastline. Burleigh Heads is especially popular for its national park walking trail, picnic spots, and local cafés. Surfers also love the waves here.
Tips for Visiting the Gold Coast
1. Book theme park tickets early
A Gold Coast experience is not complete without its theme parks, and popular ones can sell out during busy seasons. Booking ahead saves time and sometimes money, especially during school holidays.
2. Use public transport or shuttle services
Buses and trams make it easy to get around famous beaches and attractions. The G:link tram runs between Broadbeach and Helensvale, and many theme parks offer shuttle buses.
3. Plan beach visits in the morning
Winds are calmer early in the day, making the Gold Coast water clearer and better for swimming or surfing. Lifeguards patrol flagged zones, so swim between the red and yellow flags for safety.
4. Keep sunscreen and water with you
The Gold Coast is sunny most of the year, and UV levels can rise quickly. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water when exploring beaches, walking trails, or outdoor parks.
