Gold Coast Driving Adventures
Driving probably isn't the first thing you think of when going on a holiday to the Gold Coast. Driving around to see the sights or visit destinations, yes, but for some, the act of driving is an experience in itself - it's all about the journey!
Unfortunately hire cars aren't usually set up for racing or driver satisfaction, but if driving is your thing, then luckily there are a few options on the Gold Coast to keep you satisfied.
Thanks to the mix of terrain and also good roads and racetracks available, types of driving adventures available on the Gold Coast range from off road ATV adventures in the Gold Coast hinterland to screaming around on the dirt in rally cars, to obtaining maximum traction on the smooth tarmac. There's something to suit you!
Driving Experiences & Attractions
This is the ultimate off-road adventure! Get behind the wheel and explore a purpose-built track and encounter all of the crazy jumps, rock piles and water obstacles along the way. Choose to drive with an experienced instructor (great for kids or teens) or on your own. The exciting experience is located at Wet'n'Wild (though please note it doesn't include a ticket to the theme park). Book either a 2, 3 or 4 lap drive.
