Theme parks

One theme park is never enough! While on the Gold Coast you can visit Dreamworld, Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild Water Park AND Currumbin Sanctuary. So the question is not what to do but how much you can fit in!

Water activities

To come to the Gold Coast and not enjoy the beaches and waterways would be a crime. So while you're here splash into a range of water activities including surfing, calm and deep water fishing, water skiing, scuba diving, jet skiing and sailboarding. Guided water tours include kayaking, parasailing, catamaran sailing and leisurely cruises.

Fine dining

Understandably, fresh seafood and contemporary Australian cuisine are the Gold Coast's specialties. But don't worry if they're not your thing, with more than 500 restaurants boasting cuisine from around the world, you'll find something to satisfy everyone's tastes.

Sensational shopping

No matter whether you like to explore large shopping complexes, chic boutiques, craft markets or antique shops, the Gold Coast is the perfect place to shop. And one of the Coast's largest shopping centres, Pacific Fair, is a mere stroll over the Island bridge from Conrad Jupiters, and the Oasis Shopping Resort is only a short ride away on the monorail.

Nightlife

Where do you start? Or more importantly, how do you stop! Whether you choose a canal cruise, stage show, nightclub or dinner theatre, the Gold Coast nightlife shouldn't be missed.

Golf

Enjoy a round of golf on one of the Gold Coast's world class golf courses. Even if you're a rank amateur you can enjoy these championship courses, which feature picturesque lakes and waterways.
