Things to do in SkyPoint Observation Deck

From the SkyPoint Observation Deck, 230 meters (755 feet) high, you can take in the unbeatable panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Gold Coast skyline! The breathtaking scenery, a blend of sea breeze and sunshine, is truly unforgettable, and the aerial perspective is absolutely stunning! 🌊✨🇦🇺

Unforgettable Gold Coast day tour from Southern Cross. The route is thoughtfully planned with professional service, offering a deep and memorable travel experience. Big thanks to Orion, our driver, guide and DJ! He is knowledgeable, humorous, patient and friendly, always wearing a warm Gold Coast-style smile. His in-depth commentary on nature and culture was brilliant, plus he has amazing music taste, with every track drawing us into the moment.

Compared to other paid tours in Australia, which often cost one to two thousand dollars, this one offers excellent value for money. We chose the 4 PM departure, and it was fantastic to see both the sunset and the night view. The scenery along the riverbanks, with houses built on boats, was beautiful!

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.)

It was such a wonderful experience and the crew were very insightful about the whales. We were mesmerised to see the whale close up and learnt so much from the captain. The boat was so clean too and the staff were looking out for the people on board by offering sea sick medicine and checking everyone from time to time. Would definitely do it again with this team!

Max was fantastic! As it was our first time driving an electric GoBoat, he explained everything clearly and made the instructions very easy to understand. His friendly and professional approach gave us the confidence to enjoy the experience from the start. We had an amazing time on the water and would highly recommend it. Thank you, Max, for making our first GoBoat experience so enjoyable!

All the staff were polite, and the singer was excellent, knowing how to create a great atmosphere. There isn't much of a night view on the Gold Coast, so if I had to choose again, I'd opt for the lunch cruise. I've been on a dinner cruise in Sydney before, and both the scenery and food were noticeably higher quality there.

Just tap the QR code at the entrance and you're all set. Very convenient. No need to print. Screenshot also works. Come early. Buy the express pass if you can. It will make your trip more enjoyable. The marine life presentations here are both entertaining and educational, with the dolphin show being an absolute highlight. The polar bear exhibit offers fascinating insights into these magnificent creatures, while the penguin encounter provides a delightful up-close experience. The Storm Coaster combines a thrilling ride with an educational element about extreme weather. The Nickelodeon Land area is perfect for younger children, featuring character meet-and-greets and gentler attractions. The seal presentation showcases the intelligence and agility of these amazing animals. The park's waterfront location provides beautiful views, especially at sunset. The underwater viewing areas offer a different perspective on marine life that shouldn't be missed.

We booked this activity after our whale watching tour. When I showed them the Klook voucher, I was able to check in and was instructed to get changed and meet at the designated spot 5 minutes before the start time. We waited comfortably in the whale watching reception area until it was time. SeaWorld was right in front of us, so I think it would be a great idea to combine this activity with a visit to SeaWorld. When the time came, the only preparation needed was to put on life jackets. The staff helped each person put theirs on, which was reassuring. There's a storage area for belongings, about the size of a locker at a hot spring, where you can put your items. However, the locks are easily opened by anyone, which made me feel very uneasy about security. If you want to bring things to the boarding area, I'd suggest putting only essential items in a waterproof case and keeping them close to your body. But I haven't tried that method myself. I just went with the flow, put my valuables in the locker, and enjoyed the activity. It was cold at the beginning of September, but the driver and staff were very enthusiastic, making it a fantastic memory. I purchased the GoPro video they took for $25. It included a photo with the boat at the beginning and a reaction video of us on the ride. The video was edited like a commercial, so it was definitely worth it. It was an activity I'd love to do again.
