Tours Around The Gold CoastGo on a guided sightseeing tour

The Gold Coast, in fact the entire south-east Queensland region, lends itself to group tours due to the large number of excellent destinations and attractions. You're on holidays so sit back and let someone in the know take you on a journey to all the best places without having to do the research and planning yourself!

There are heaps of options - half day tours, day tours and even quick little jaunts to just a couple of destinations. You can choose between a 4WD tour, a relaxed cruise on the waterways, activity-based tours and sightseeing tours. For something a little different, you can even tour the Gold Coast on a fire truck or learn about the city's spooky past on a ghost tour! Often your tour will combine a number of Gold Coast attractions in the one journey with time available at each to stop and experience them properly. Stops are also provided for morning and afternoon tea and lunch with some tours including this in the price. Each tour is different so make sure you read all the inclusions before booking.
