The famous Gold Coast is Australia at its best. Experience the largest selection of beaches, sub-tropical rainforest, theme parks, nightlife, shopping, attractions and accommodation providers in one accessible destination.
The Gold Coast is famous for many tourist attractions including high rise buildings, hinterlands and waterways, but the most impressive are incredible coastlines of golden sands, stunning patrolled beaches and world class surfing waves.
Queensland’s balmy sub tropical climate provides warm days and nights which easily attracts holiday makers to the Gold Coast. Enjoy alfresco dining along the beach front from Mainbeach to Broadbeach and beyond or enjoy wandering through night markets lining the Surfers Paradise Esplanade.
A holiday would not be complete without a visit to one of the popular theme parks on the Gold Coast. Movie World boasts thrill seeking amusement rides, and Dreamworld and Seaworld are just as exhilarating with adventure rides, live entertainment and shows. Keeping cool gets a lot easier with a visit to Wet n Wild and White Water World. Whiz through the water slides and splash through tunnels – these rides are for any age to enjoy.
Step outside the parks and explore 40 championship golf courses, one of Queensland’s largest shopping centres, major international and unique Australian events and an extensive collection of tours that allow you to experience the real Australia from land, sea or sky.
