Gold Coast Day Trips & Tours
Hit the road and see where a day will take you.
With its extraordinary beaches and waterfront streets, the Gold Coast is an easy place to sit back and relax. Don't get too comfortable, though - there's more adventures to be had just around the corner. Explore riverside cities, quirky little towns and remarkable natural landmarks, and still make it back for dinner.
Take a trip to Brisbane and spend the day exploring art galleries, botanic gardens and award-winning restaurants. If you're looking for a rejuvenating escape, a day trip down south will have you feeling better in mind, body and soul. Check out laidback Byron Bay's local markets or sign up for a meditation walk in Mullumbimby's Crystal Castle.
Cross another of Australia's Big Things off your list when you visit the Big Prawn in Ballina. There might not be a big bovine in Mooball, but the cow-print-painted town is definitely worth a stopover, too.
Check out Mount Tamborine to discover the rainforest-clad mountain's wineries, walking trails and glowworms. Just south of the Gold Coast, Currumbin and its exciting wildlife sanctuary are the perfect getaway for families.
Pack the car or join a sightseeing cruise and venture out on an unforgettable day trip from the Gold Coast.
