Hot air balloon rides

Take off for incredible views of Surfers Paradise, or watch the sun come up over the magnificent hinterland region, with a Gold Coast hot air balloon ride. These breathtaking journeys are a unique and magical experience, so take your pick and prepare for a journey like no other. A well-earned gourmet breakfast back on the ground is included as part of some experiences.

V8 driving

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a racing driver? The Supercars Official Driving Experience at Norwell Motorplex, just 30 minutes north of Gold Coast, is just about as close as most of us will get. This Gold Coast V8 driving experience lets you get hands on with its fleet of Holden and Fords, purpose-built onsite by Paul Morris Motorsports.

Jet skis, jet boats and jet packs

Surfers Paradise is a dream destination for water sports. Whether it’s jumping on a jet ski, holding on tight for the thrills and spills of a jet boat ride or strapping in for a fun session using a jetpack or flyboard, there’s plenty of choice. Be sure to pack your swimmers and get out and make a splash!

Helicopter flights

Tick off all the Gold Coast’s most iconic sights with the bucket list favourite of a helicopter ride. These scenic flights are impressive at the best of times, but aerial views of Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, Sea World, South Stradbroke Island and Broadwater are particularly breathtaking.  It’s also a great way to see the best beaches in the area.

Cruises

No visit to the Gold Coast would be complete without getting out on those magnificent waterways. There are so many ways to do it, from city tour cruises, dinner cruises and boat hire, to snorkelling, sailing and dolphin watching.

Whale watching
