The Best Tours Of The Gold Coast

One of the most diverse regions in Australia, the Gold Coast is a metropolis beside ocean, rainforest and hinterland, and a tour is a great way to see more of the area. Here are the best tours of the Gold Coast that will show you just what this region is made of.

Southern Cross 4WD Tours

Explore into the depths of World Heritage rainforests in Tamborine, Springbrook, Natural Bridge and Lamington National Parks. Using a 4WD, you’ll be able to get deep into the rainforest, then explore on foot with guided tours blessed with waterfalls, wildlife, caves, towering treetops and even wine tasting. With a variety of tours available, you can choose full or half-day private tours, like the Rainforest and Waterfall Tour, which includes Purlong Brook Falls, Rainbow Falls and Twin Falls for $295pp with two passengers.

Whales In Paradise

Situated right on the coast (hence the name), the Gold Coast receives many sightings of whales on a daily basis during the migration season. Departing from Surfers Paradise, Whales In Paradise have morning, midday and afternoon tours out to the ocean to see Humpback Whales between May and November, and if you don’t see any on your tour, you’ll receive a full refund or a second tour absolutely free. On board the Mahi Mahi vessel, you’ll be rewarded with 360-degree views whether you choose to stay on the bottom deck or upstairs on the water level viewing deck. At just $95pp, you can’t beat this kind of value.
