An absolutely brilliant cruise. We saw some incredible whale activity, including breaches and tail slaps, which was breath-taking to witness in person. The boat was great, the crew was super helpful, and the whole trip was seamless. 10/10 would recommend!

The Brisbane BridgeClimb is an awesome, well-organized experience, totally worth it. The safety briefing is reassuring, the guides are friendly. The views from the top are breathtaking, especially over the river and city skyline. This is definitely a great pick.

There's a minibus shuttle. Upon arrival, you first register and purchase photos and videos. They only accept credit cards there. Then wait for your name to be called; your English name will be displayed on the screen. The instructors will help us put on safety gear and then watch a video to learn about landing. After that, you get on a small plane and descend for 10 minutes in the middle of the sea. There's no G-force, but it's super windy, which can be scary for the first jump. After jumping, you can relax and enjoy the scenery. The parachute opens quickly, allowing you to see the scenery for a bit longer. The return bus only leaves after everyone has jumped. You might have to wait until noon to go back.

I chose the Gold Coast for my first skydiving experience because I was drawn to the coastal scenery. The skydiving company sent a WhatsApp message the day before, informing me that my scheduled 10:30 AM jump was moved up to 8:30 AM due to air traffic control. The staff were excellent and patiently explained everything. On the day of the jump, the staff closely monitored the weather. We couldn't jump at 8:30 AM as planned due to thick clouds and rain, but after waiting an hour, we were able to depart and successfully complete the skydive. I also purchased the photo and video package, and I received the video and photos that same afternoon. The results were very good.

we had to pay extra $60 on top of the $88 (original payment for the axtivity) just to get digital photos. I feel it was slightly overpriced. but apart from that, the experience was great. 😊

really fun experience with beautiful views. the last timing is the best as the sun sets while you’re on it. the guides on the boat are great too

The experience was fantastic! The itinerary is well-organized, and I was grateful that the sequence of the activities (sandboarding, kayaking, snorkelling) I was assigned to was perfect because the sand, sweat, and sunscreen were washed off during the snorkelling, haha. We had an early lunch, before noon. The DIY wrap was quite filling, so don't worry about whether you have the strength to play, haha.

Cam, our driving instructor, was really nice and patient. it was a surreal experience and the good was also great. Staff took great care of us all. A few points to note, too many people on the boat with many we has to take turns getting into the choppy ocean after lunch. Not really an ideal dive option. Secondly the evening tea should have had the pastries rather than morning as we were all getting ready to dive into the ocean, so food wasn’t on our minds…

General info
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.

You’ll watch skilled riders, special effects, and a heartwarming story while enjoying a three-course meal. It’s a great night out for families, couples, or anyone who wants a taste of Australia’s rural culture.
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.
