Gold Coast Tours

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.

The guide was friendly and informative, which was great. However, if you're not fluent in English, it'll be hard to understand the explanations, so keep that in mind. It's not impossible to do the tour, but the fun will be reduced by half if you can't understand the history or animal characteristics, etc. Unfortunately, the day I went was cloudy and windy, so there weren't many fireflies and I couldn't see the stars, but I saw about 15 at the waterfall. It was a shame I couldn't capture it with my phone, but it was still wonderful. One thing that's disappointing is that it's a night trek and someone could accidentally get hurt, but the guide is leading from the front, so you have to be careful yourself. It would be safer if there was another person in the back as well.

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.

is a new and remarkable experiences!!! we not expect that “ hop on hop off “ means that we can choose where we wanna go and drop and pick up freely and easily, allow us to explore all the tamborine national forrest area… im so satisfied!!!

amazing view and experience:) definitely go for a tour when you are in Gold Coast. highly recommended!!!!

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!

It’s a great experience to do this hot air balloon ride, we departed from hotel at 3am and started the ride at 5am, enjoy so much especially with the sunrise! the pilot is great and professional, highly recommend this balloon ride.
