The Most Comprehensive Guide

I heard that after the recent hurricane, the Gold Coast has turned into a "golden cliff". I I visited early. Here, 🏖️ beaches, 🏙️ high-rises, and 🌊 the sea blend perfectly—it’s a paradise for vacationers. This issue brings you a Gold Coast vacation guide! 🚘【Itinerary Guide】 The Gold Coast Airport is about half an hour from the city center. It’s recommended to rent a car online for self-driving. Attractions are neither too close nor too far, making self-driving very convenient. 🗺️ Overall schedule: See cover image 1 🍜 City center food and accommodation recommendations: See image 2 🐨 Currumbin map layout: See image 3 🪲 Springbrook National Park glow-worm map: See image 4 📅 Total itinerary: 3 days 2 nights / 4 days 3 nights 【DAY 1】City Exploration, Food & Sky-Sea Activities Morning: Skydiving 🪂 / Parasailing / 🚁 Helicopter sightseeing Noon: Lunch with a view at Q1 Building, the tallest residential building in the Southern Hemisphere Afternoon: Water sports at Surfers Paradise Beach—surfing 🏄 / 🛥️ jet skiing 【DAY 2】Koalas, Kangaroos & Late-Night Adventure Morning: Breakfast with koalas 🐨 at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (detailed guide in another post on our homepage) + lunch 🥣 Afternoon: Chase the sunset 🌄 at Burleigh Heads Beach A popular photo spot; you’ll need a telephoto lens to capture the distant high-rises Evening: Adventure in the blue light wonderland of Springbrook National Park (it really feels like an adventure!) 【DAY 3】Park (Carnival) & Farm Time Morning: 🎬 Warner Bros.
