Things to do in 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.

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.

Many whales and dolphins were clearly visible, and the crew and captain on the boat were very friendly! (All the photos below were taken with my iPhone, which shows how clearly the whales could be seen! The whale highway is real.)

Amazing experience at SkyPoint Observation Deck! The views are absolutely breathtaking and worth every moment. Super easy booking the ticket on Klook.

Very easy to redeem the vouchers. The parking is free and I can leave the park during lunch. This is a very nice park. Both of my kids loved it.

Movie world us super awesome!!!Scooby Doo is highly recommended you go first before the roller coasters!!!☺️💯👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Perhaps it was luck, but the koalas here were incredibly active, unlike those in other places that are almost always sleeping. We even saw many koalas carrying their babies on their backs and moving around, which was absolutely adorable. The kangaroo enclosure was also very large and spacious, and the kangaroos were lying down, allowing you to pet them. You could easily spend a lot of time and fill up your phone's storage just in the kangaroo area. This is a highly recommended itinerary.
