Fantastic 5.0
I visited the Story Bridge at night with my friends. We learned about its construction and the history of the land planning, which deepened my understanding of Australia. Even with many skyscrapers nearby, the Story Bridge, illuminated in blue and yellow lights, was just as impressive. Standing on the bridge and feeling the night breeze made me truly happy. Despite being a little afraid of heights, I'm glad I came, stood on the bridge, and enjoyed the beautiful Brisbane night view.

My two daughters had a wonderful time parasailing. They absolutely loved soaring above the water, taking in the stunning views and feeling the rush of the wind. It was an unforgettable experience that left them both grinning from ear to ear. They can't wait to go parasailing again on our next family adventure.

I made my booking the day before and was contacted to reschedule my skydive from 11:30 AM to 8:30 AM. I would have preferred my original time slot, as I was hoping for better visibility and warmer weather. Still, it turned out well — I got to meet two other solo jumpers and a couple, and together we made a great group. Rolly was the instructor assigned to me, and I’d say I was the luckiest! He’s honestly the warmest and most accommodating person. He gave clear instructions and was kind enough to guide and remind me every step of the way. I’m also really happy with the photos and videos he took — they turned out great! I’m so glad I finally made this happen. I’ll definitely do it again! Highly recommended for your first skydiving experience.

Fun activity and well worth the climb! The twilight climb is the best because you get to see the Gold Coast during the day and at night during the magical sunset. The staff was super helpful and had a great sense of humor, making sure everyone felt at ease.

My trip was canceled 3 hours before the original departure time due to large waves. Thankfully, I was able to reschedule for another day via email. In the end, I was able to depart smoothly and even saw a whale turning over – so lucky! I highly recommend this tour.

What a great experience, trying something new with the kids (mine were older 12+). Kayaking was just long enough to feel like a good challenge and triumphantly tired at the end. It was our first time snorkeling for most of us; the guides were helpful and this was a shallow and easy location with lots of fish to see. The water was a comfortable temperature. The guide Nelson was helpful and made us feel confident that we could do it! Some light snacks and fruit were provided midway through. Afterwards we went to Charis Restaurant about 1 km down the road to rinse off and change, watch the pelicans being fed, and feast on fish and chips.
