Reviews: Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Flight Experience [Includes Taxes & Transfers · Flight Certificate · Flight Photos · Optional 5-Star Hotel Champagne Breakfast · Vineyard Alpaca Experience]
Guest User2025-09-03
The driver and staff were all very humorous and enthusiastic. We flew inland that day and watched the sunrise from a hot air balloon. It was a beautiful and unique experience. The website said there was a flight certificate, but it was not provided. In addition, only photos were provided. Videos were only provided after payment or comments, which was different from what was stated in the booking form.★

Reviews: Australian Kayaking Adventures: 2-hour kayaking at Gold Coast Broadwater + snorkeling at Wave Break Island
Guest User2026-02-18
First, the booking process went smoothly, but that's about it. No one contacted me beforehand. When I contacted Ctrip customer service, they said they were in China and couldn't easily reach the merchant. The merchant is Australian and only sent me the meeting address; without Google Maps, I wouldn't know how to get there. This made it difficult to plan much for the next day. Shouldn't they have clearly stated in the product description if they didn't contact the person who made the reservation? It's inconvenient to tell customers they can't cancel after they've already booked, and then have no one contact you. When I arrived at the designated meeting point, it was just a family home, not a fixed business location. I had to ask several people in English before I realized it was a van parked across from the house. The entire itinerary and kayak descriptions were in English; tourists who don't understand English should choose carefully. The kayaking time was only half an hour round trip, with the remaining 40 minutes for snorkeling in a bay where the UV radiation was extremely strong, so be sure to take precautions. The snorkeling equipment was basic. The walk involved passing a section of extremely hot sand.★

Reviews: Byron Bay high-altitude ocean view skydiving [Brisbane/Gold Coast transfer + tax included/free skydiving certificate/optional photos and videos]
Guest User2026-02-15
Skydiving was one of my bucket list items, and it happened right off the Gold Coast beach. It was so satisfying.
