Gold Coast Túrák

Minden évben nyári vakációra megyünk a családdal. Az idén a jelentkezési időszakban megnéztünk egy Ausztráliáról szóló tévéműsort, ezért az ausztráliai Gold Coastot választottuk. Mivel szerettem volna egyszer kipróbálni a hőlégballonozást is, a Klookon keresztül fizettem be a programra. Bár elég korán volt az indulás, pontosan megérkeztek a szállodához. Útközben a fennsík felé volt egy mosdószünet is, és amikor közeledtünk, angol, kínai és japán nyelvű magyarázatok/figyelmeztetések mentek egy DVD-n az autóbuszban, amitől a várakozásunk a tetőfokára hágott. Lassan lebegtünk a hajnal hűvös és csendes levegőjében, valóban „ahogy a szél fúj”, és még a napfelkeltét is megcsodálhattuk a horizonton egy mintegy egyórás légi séta során. A legelőre való leszálláskor legelésző tehenek fogadtak minket. Az összesen mintegy 20 résztvevővel és az érkezésihelynél várakozó hőlégballonos személyzettel együtt összehajtogattuk a hőlégballont, és megkóstoltuk a pezsgőt, ami olyan értékes élmény volt, amelyet Japánban aligha lehet átélni.

Our first time riding a helicopter, and honestly, what an unforgettable experience. 🚁🥹 It was a mix of excitement and nervousness at first, but once we were up in the air and saw everything from a completely different perspective, it was all worth it. There’s something so surreal about looking down and realizing how beautiful everything is from above. 🩶

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!

I highly recommend this night tour! The Chinese-speaking guide was very professional and friendly, providing in-depth explanations of the blue glow-worm's ecological characteristics throughout the trip. They were also very thoughtful and proactively helped everyone take photos! Walking into the Springbrook National Park cave and seeing the glow-worms like a blue starry river was truly stunning and dreamlike. After the activity, the guide even took us to admire the night sky, and we were lucky enough to see the Southern Cross and the beautiful Milky Way. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic! The convenient pickup and drop-off service was a great bonus. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Gold Coast!

Although it was a bit pricey, it was definitely worth it! Nature is truly amazing. The glowworms were beautiful, but the starry sky, with the Milky Way visible, was absolutely stunning! I went in mid-August, and it was quite cold in light clothing, so the hand warmers they provided came in handy!

A kínai idegenvezető nagyon profi volt, és rendkívül szórakoztatóan, humorosan beszélt. Ráadásul aznap az időjárás is tökéletes volt, az idegenvezető elvitt minket csillagokat nézni, és megtanított néhány trükköt, hogyan tájékozódjunk a déli félteke csillagai alapján. Meglepő volt, hogy az idegenvezető által mutatott csillagok és csillagképek pontosan megegyeztek azokkal, amiket az alkalmazásomon láttam, ez igazán lenyűgöző volt. A kékfényű szentjánosbogarak nagyon különleges élményt nyújtottak, korábban csak BBC dokumentumfilmekben láttam ilyet, és végre személyesen is megtapasztalhattam a természet nagyszerűségét és finomságát.

Kudos to Stevie wonderful and entertaining service! Good scenery!

We met by the side of the road. Several companies had canoes loaded and were parked on the street, ready to go, so I showed my Klook reservation screen and asked around to see if it was their tour. Since the map location was approximate, I recommend actively asking any car with canoes loaded. The tour started at 7:30 AM, and they were there promptly before the scheduled time and called out my reservation name. It's a little nerve-wracking to meet the guide, but it's easy to find them, so please head there with confidence. Also, in my case, the day before, I received a message from the guide via Gmail suggesting that since the weather wasn't looking good, I should change my 10:30 AM start time to 7:30 AM. They also told me that snorkeling would offer a clearer view in the morning. Although I was worried about waking up early, I changed it because I wanted to see the beautiful ocean. I was touched by how kind they were to proactively contact me based on the weather. This email exchange made me feel confident that I would enjoy myself at the location. Four women gathered, and I rode in a canoe with one other person, while the other two rode in single canoes. They asked if I preferred a single or a pair, and if it was my first time, and then paired us up accordingly, which was great. They explained the photo route and the flow of the activity, so even if my English wasn't perfect, I understood everything without any problems. Once we started, it was a lot of fun, and the guide explained about the birds and shared various stories. They also took photos while we were canoeing, which created lifelong memories. They lent us waterproof backpacks, wetsuits, and snorkels. I definitely think a towel and swimsuit are essential. Also, there are no changing facilities, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit beforehand. We saw many beautiful fish in the ocean. Those near the rocks and those in slightly deeper areas were truly beautiful. Other companies were also snorkeling in the same area, and there were boats in slightly deeper waters, but we enjoyed it without any issues. This is definitely one of the activities I will do again when I come to the Gold Coast.

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.
