Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

8.6
4.7/5
1.5k reviews

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is split in two by the Gold Coast Highway, with the two areas connected by a concrete tunnel. Established in 1947, the sanctuary was initially known for feeding wild rainbow lorikeets and has since gradually developed into a comprehensive park integrating animal exhibits, interactive experiences, and wildlife rescue. The kangaroo area is one of the core experience zones in the park, where kangaroos and emus roam freely within an open grassy enclosure, and visitors can feed and observe them up close. Koalas reside in a dedicated koala area, where visitors can walk into the koala habitat for close observation and have the opportunity to take photos with the koalas. The park is also home to Australian native species such as crocodiles, cassowaries, possums, echidnas, and dingoes. There is a wild lorikeet feeding experience every morning and evening, where flocks of rainbow lorikeets fly in and land on visitors' hands to feed—a signature activity the sanctuary has carried on to this day. The WildSkies free-flight bird show displays the flying skills of various bird species, and the Lost Valley area brings together tropical rainforest species such as red pandas, tree kangaroos, and capybaras. There is also an Aboriginal cultural performance every afternoon, presenting traditional dance and didgeridoo performances. The wildlife hospital in the park is also open to the public, where visitors can learn about wildlife rescue work through observation windows. △ Get up close and personal with Australia's native species △ Learn more about biology and geography △ Enjoy exciting performances held daily

Gold Coast beach

4.8/5
645 reviews

Gold Coast beach stretches for approximately 70 km, and its golden sand is the defining feature of this coastline, from which the name "Gold Coast" is derived. The sand is fine and glows with a warm golden luster in the sunlight, while the seawater transitions from a shallow turquoise near the shore to a deep blue in the distance, creating distinct layers. The beach is lined with various sections, each with its own unique character; the northern section has a lively atmosphere, while the southern section is relatively quiet, catering to different preferences. Surfing is a quintessential, long-standing experience at this beach. The coastline features several well-known surf breaks, among which the "Superbank" near Snapper Rocks is famous for producing long, hollow waves, attracting large numbers of surfing enthusiasts year-round. The coastal walkway connects multiple beach sections, making it a great way to explore by walking or cycling. Located in a subtropical region, the area enjoys a mild climate and abundant sunshine, making it a suitable destination to visit all year round.

Gold Coast Sea World is a long-established marine theme park in Australia, located in the northern part of the Gold Coast. It combines marine animal exhibits, animal shows, and mechanical rides within a single park, so visitors can see animals and watch performances as well as enjoy thrilling attractions. Seeing animals is the main draw here: the penguin exhibit is home to king penguins and gentoo penguins, and through the viewing glass set against an icy landscape, visitors can watch them waddle about or dive into the water; Polar Bear Shores recreates the rocky shores and pools of an Arctic summer and is a rare place in Australia to see polar bears in person; in Shark Bay, sharks and rays swim in schools, and at the adjacent Ray Reef visitors can touch rays by hand; at Seal Harbor, Australian sea lions and fur seals either lie on the shore basking in the sun or chase and play in the water. The park hosts multiple dolphin shows and educational sea lion presentations every day, so it is recommended to confirm the day's time slots upon entry before planning the order of your visit, and remember to secure seats early before popular shows begin. Visitors bringing children should not miss Nickelodeon Land, where animated characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Dora the Explorer, and PAW Patrol meet and take photos with visitors; those who enjoy thrills can take on the wooden roller coaster Leviathan, the motorbike-style roller coaster Jet Rescue, and the Storm Coaster, which ends with a big splash. △ Meet your favorite animated characters △ Get close to marine life △ Experience thrilling rides

Cape Danger is a scenic spot in Australia, located on the southern tip of the Gold Coast, on the border between Queensland and New South Wales. When Captain Cook landed on the Australian mainland for the second time, in order to avoid the reef, the captain ordered a sharp turn of nearly 90 degrees to avoid the sinking of the ship, hence the name of Dangerous Point. There are Cook's Monument and Lighthouse on Cape Dangerous, where there are flocks of flying seabirds, sitting on the cliff overlooking the endless coastline and layers of white waves, facing the gentle sea breeze, very comfortable and comfortable.

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

When you come to the Gold Coast, I recommend you to experience skydiving here. Fly 3 kilometers above the Gold Coast in a small plane. Under the protection of the instructor, jump down, soar in the air like a bird, and see the magnificent scenery of the Gold Coast. It is really thrilling. The whole process takes about 15 minutes and must be very unforgettable.

The terrain of this bay is indeed very steep, with many large reefs extending from the coast. It must have been a dangerous place in the past, but the scenery we see here today is also very magnificent.

Our last stop on the Gold Coast was Burleigh Heads National Park, there are several walks on this small headland that were manageable even for my older partner. After parking at the free car park at the end of Goodwin Terrace we hit the road. We walked up the hill and up a short but steep flight of stairs to a sealed sloping road with three lookouts along the way. We walked slowly as it took my partner 15 minutes to reach Tumgum Hill. There were three or four benches along the way and large rocks to sit on. With more time it would have been pleasant to walk to the beach. Parking is charged around Burleigh Heads and is restricted and charged except for the free car park near the entrance to the NP. This is a very popular destination.
