Gold Coast Tagestour von Brisbane

Loved this tour. We had a really nice hike through the rain forest, saw a waterfall, went to surfers paradise, had a nice lunch there, then went to see Koalas and Kangaroos! Jamie was an awesome tour guide!

It was a great day. Our guide Ryan did a fabulous job all day keeping us on schedule to get to all of the activities included in the package.

What an incredible day! We started with a stop at Natural Bridge. We took a short, shaded walk down to a river which had a waterfall that flows into a cave underneath a natural stone bridge. Then we were off to Surfers Paradise. We had free time to do whatever we wanted or there were several other tours which could be taken (Jet Boat or AquaDuck Tour). After wandering around Surfers Paradise we were treated to lunch at Q1 which is a restaurant 77 floors above the city/beach. The food was good and the views phenomenal. Next we were off to The Spit. We walked all the way to the end of the Spit and took in the views of surfers, dogs on the beach, sailboats and even a sea turtle. The last stop of the day was Coombabah Preserve. This was the highlight of the trip. We saw hundreds of kangaroos, 3 koalas and a wallaby. I should mention that this tour included a lot of walking (15,000+ steps) and could be difficult for some. But it was so enjoyable and worth all the walking. Our guides Amber and Jamie were great and so knowledgeable. 10/10 Recommend

Full day trip. You will be walking in rainforest, grass, and sand. You might want to have hard trainers plus flip flops (thongs). It will probably rain and have ferocious sun. All part of the experience! Amber was our guide and she really made the trip special. She is passionate about nature and we learned so much from her about Trapdoor spiders, paddy melon wallabies, Gimpy Gimpy, to name but a few. The stop at the Spit - wow! The waves were wild. So good. Sky Point for a good value lunch (which included a choice of food and drinks) - fab views. We were lucky to get the view in the sun. Weather wasn't kind so my plan of sunning myself on Surfers Paradise beach were quickly abandoned in the gale force wind and rain 😂. We managed to see 2 koalas in the trees, a kookaburra, and a huge mob of kangaroos, as well as many other birds. Honestly a brilliant trip. Great communication from the company. I highly recommend this to you.

This is a really good tour. Amber is such a great tour guide! She went above and beyond in making sure that we saw the best of Gold Coast! The lunch included was great as well. This is one of the best tours I've ever booked . Good job!

Great trip, long day but Mark or tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable telling us lots of stories about the culture and history as we went. Skypoint was a great addition, fabulous views with great food, they were very large portions but lovely. Ended with the rainforest and waterfall so which was beautiful. A long day with Brisbane traffic but was worth it.

The tour driver was knowledgeable and balanced the narrative with time for quiet. He was great. We enjoyed the day very much.

Very good tour. Our tour guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable about the history of the Gold Coast and had valuable information on the animals we were seeing as well as Springbrook overall. The tour company, Southern Cross Tours, provided excellent customer service, and great communication communications. I recommend.

Brilliant day out from Brisbane covering a lot of ground it would be difficult to do on your own or impossible on public transport. Early morning pick up was from three central Brisbane locations. The driver/guide, Amber was prompt and great fun - and the minibus is modern and comfortable - providing a cool environment in the hot climate. The day started with a scenic drive through the stunning Numinbah Valley to Springbrook National Park, where we walked (gentle, easy footpath) to the Natural Bridge Falls. Then onwards to Surfer's Paradise for two hours. I'd highly recommend the AquaDuck tour which can be booked at a discount from the operator ahead of time as it provides a fun experience for both adults and kids. The included lunch at the Skypoint Observation Deck underlined the advantage of an inclusive tour - reserved table and food & drink ordered and delivered, no queuing or hunting for a table. Finally the Spit and Coombabah Lakeland Conservation Park, for Kangaroo (many) and Koala (one!) spotting rounded out a very enjoyable day, with return drop off in Brisbane.

Mark was a great guide. It was a great day at the natural bridge after a rainfall and saw so many mushrooms and a smaller python. Mark was so knowledgeable on the area and history of it all.
