If you're visiting Surfers Paradise, you absolutely have to experience the highest and most beautiful views of the Gold Coast. I recommend coming in the afternoon so you can see the daytime view, the sunset, and the night view. Night views are prone to glare when taking pictures. I don't think you need to include breakfast; just seeing the view is enough. Buying tickets on-site costs AU$45, but pre-purchasing tickets on a platform is super cost-effective and you don't have to wait in line for too long.

Movie World is the closest to a 'theme park' of the Gold Coast's Big 4. It's not huge, but the IP is solid, so even though Dreamworld is large, it feels like it's just 'filled with rides,' whereas Movie World feels full of content. Wet'n'Wild is the most 'Gold Coast'-like water park of the Big 4. When I was looking to book separately, I found that the price difference between buying tickets for two of the four parks separately and this package wasn't that big, but I'd have to specify dates, and I thought it would be a disaster if it rained. I had a great time at 3 of the Big 4 parks with this package, excluding Dreamworld.

The Gold Coast Aquaduck tour is a unique sightseeing experience that allows you to enjoy both city street views and waterfront scenery. The itinerary is novel and interesting, the tour guides are lively, and you can experience both urban vitality and a relaxing cruise atmosphere, making it perfect for families or friends traveling together.

This was a rare and wonderful experience – our first time seeing whales out at sea. We were on the third deck, and the boat rocked quite a bit once we were out on the water. If you're prone to seasickness, I recommend buying motion sickness pills from the boat company beforehand; they cost $4 AUD for two pills, as some people started feeling unwell and nauseous halfway through the trip. We did see some whales on our trip, and one whale unexpectedly breached, which was amazing, but I didn't manage to capture it on my phone. Overall, it was a great experience. I recommend bringing a jacket, as it gets windy and cold out on the open water.

A must-experience snorkeling trip 🤩👏🏻 It's easy to take a boat to Modeng Island, enjoy the sun and beach, experience snorkeling, and witness many marine life including dolphins and turtles! The boat company also provides pick-up and drop-off services in the city, which is suitable for families and tourists who do not rent a car. The yacht is very new and large. There are also some refreshments to enjoy and some cold lunch platters when boarding. Snorkeling activities are conducted in groups. Under the guidance of professionals, we experienced nearly 45 minutes of snorkeling near the shipwreck area! Highly recommended 😍 (I even thought it was too short). Along the way, our instructors will also explain to us and help everyone find different marine life! Very worth a try!
