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! 🥹

Thanks to our tour guide Logan and Steve, we had a great night with the small group. Worth the money as we learnt a lot about the habitat and species at the national park. We were able to find decaying trees, spidey, glow-worms and even some ghost fungus! The tour ended with star-gazing on out way back to the city, the countless stars are the gem of Gold Coast, thanks for the great night~

I was soothed by the beautiful scenery and waterfalls from morning. I even encountered wild kangaroos! Our guide, Enva, was friendly and helped us throughout the tour, even using a translation tool along the way. Since there's some driving involved, those prone to motion sickness should be a little careful. The AquaDuck office, where we were picked up, was clean and easy to find.

Tania was a wonderful guide. She made an effort to get to know each member of our group. Her commentary was very thorough—besides introducing us to the glowworms, she also shared a lot about the forest ecosystem. Along the way, we even spotted some small animals and enjoyed a beautiful starry sky.

The glow worms themselves were beautiful and definitely worth seeing, and our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. However, the overall itinerary felt inefficient, with quite a lot of time spent traveling compared with the actual time at the glow worm site. The bus ride was also quite bumpy and uncomfortable, especially for a longer journey with children. Overall, the glow worm experience and guide were very good, but the transportation, scheduling, and overall value could be improved.

This tour is highly recommended! Our tour guide, Mark, was very professional, introducing us to the ecology of various animals and plants at the Wildlife Park and Springbrook. The scenery from SkyPoint was beautiful, and the food was delicious too.

This full-day tour has a packed itinerary, but it’s so well-paced that we never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed every stop. Our driver/tour guide must moonlight as a radio host because he kept us entertained with fascinating trivia the entire ride—even if you doze off, you’ll still wake up smarter! He also has supersonic ears and laser eyes for spotting wildlife, ensuring we saw everything we came for. Highly recommend!

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.

Australian Outback Spectacular

This live dinner show brings the Australian outback to life with horses, music, and storytelling. 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.
