Gold Coast Visitor Information

Gold Coast is famous for its Theme Parks, beautiful beaches and picturesque waterways but many visitors are not aware of the the amount of fantastic day trips on offer. Hire a car from Surfers Paradise or Gold Coast airport and explore the world heritage rainforests of Springbrook, Mt Tamborine and Lamington national parks, all only an hour away or head down the highway to Byron Bay, only 1.5 hours away. All of these destinations feature stunning waterfalls, boutique shopping, walk under rainforest canopies and great food and wine trails!
