Fun Awaits On the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast has more to offer than just sun, surf and sand. After 50 years as one of Australia’s leading tourist hot spots, it has evolved into something much more. Where else can you go on wine trails, hike rugged mountains, jet boat and hug koalas all within 50 km of each other. Here is a list of some of the must-do activities:
Fuel Your Adrenalin: The Gold Coast is well on the way to calling itself Australia’s adventure capital with no end of thrill seeking activities available – think jet boating, jet-skiing, off road 4WD adventure, Zorbing, surfing lessons, bungy jumping, tiger moth joy rides, helicopter tours, go-karting, Harley Davidson jaunts, WRX rally car racing, scuba diving, Deep sea fishing, hot air ballooning, theme parks and Infinity. To name a few!
Support a Local Team: For a day that the entire family will enjoy, you can watch an Australian rules football game, a rugby game, a basketball game, and even a local iron man contest. You are guaranteed to have a good time.
A Day Of Spa Treatment: If you are looking for a day of pampering, you will no be at a loss for options when visiting the Gold Coast. There are many top notch spa service centres available, including Golden Door Spa Health Spa, Main Beach and L’qua Spa.
Enjoy a seafood feast: Fresh seafood is a regular on many a Gold Coast menu so diners are spoilt for choice. Splurge on one of the top end restaurants such as Absinthe in Surfers Paradise or buy your own fresh seafood at Charis Seafood at Labrador, Peters Fish Market at Main Beach o Ferry Road Market at Southport. Of course there is added satisfaction to be had in catching your own. Several operators also run chartered fishing expeditions and catch a crab cruises.
Go Hot Air Ballooning: Ballooning may not come cheap (prices start at $175 per person) but it pays off. Floating soundlessly in the sky is one of those rare experiences that everyone should try at least once. And on the Gold Coast the views are spectacular, with Brisbane, the brilliant sight of the Coasts endless high rises and peaks of Tamborine Mountain and Mt Warning all visible on clear days. Thirty minutes feels like only a moment up there and you’ll be wishing for more.
