About this experience

I’ve been showing travellers around Queensland for years, and I love helping people see the side of the Gold Coast you don’t get on big bus tours.

This day is all about your group — no strangers, no rush. I’ll pick you up in Brisbane and we’ll head south to meet koalas at Currumbin, wander the coastal tracks at Burleigh Heads, and take in those incredible beach vibes at Surfer’s Paradise. We’ll finish the day up at Q1 SkyPoint with views that never fail to wow.

You set the pace. Want extra time with wildlife? More beach stops? No problem. I’ll shape the day around what you enjoy most.
