Surfer’s Paradise attracts the adventure seekers and common folk; while students flock here for the most comprehensive Australian lifestyle.

In addition to these three beaches, there is also the popular beaches of: Currumbin, Coolangatta, and Main.
- You’ll need your runners! Rainforests may be the best-kept secret gems of the Gold Coast. Whether you choose to hike through Tambourine Mountain, Springbrook National Park or Lamington National Park. Tambourine Mountain features wineries, art galleries, hikes, climbing rope and wire hangings, balancing on bridges, and hanging out in the treetops! Springbrook is home to the Best-of-All Lookout (which you can see numerous cities’ skylines), natural bridges, swimmable waterfalls, and a glowworm grotto. Lamington appeals to nature-lovers far and wide with its subtropical rainforest, walking trails, exotic wildlife and mountainous views.
- Cuddle up with a Joey! Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary opens its door to those who want to hold koalas, lounge with the kangaroos, feed the Lorikeets and/or just be surrounded by Australia’s finest animals! What’s even more appealing is the student discount!
- Did someone say unlimited? Deals on theme park admissions are always going on but one in particular remains steady--$100 for unlimited entry into three of the most popular parks in Gold Coast: Sea World (thrill rides, interact with dolphins and penguins, even pay a little extra to go snorkeling!), Warner Bros. Movie World (roller coasters, 3D rides, movie attractions and live stunt shows!) and Wet ‘n’ Wild Water World (Australia’s biggest water park).
- It’s a bird; it’s a plane; it’s YOU! Fly through the clouds at 12,000+ feet with Gold Coast Skydive and land right on the beach!
- Have a movie and drink, on us! Jupiter’s Casino allows 18+ to sign up for their rewards membership for free—then they’ll give you a free movie showing every Monday and up to two soft drinks/hot chocolate every day. Test your luck at the slots and poker tables after all that.
