Things to Enjoy on Queensland’s Gold Coast

May 18, 2011 By 3 Comments

The Gold Coast has the second largest population in Queensland. It is the most populous non-capital city in the whole country, & it has a sunny, subtropical climate.  Couple that with great destinations including world class theme parks, & arguably the best beaches in Australia, the Gold Coast is an ideal place to have a holiday. The following are some of the places you can visit  in and around the city.

Surfers Paradise, in our opinion, has the best beach in Australia, possibly the world. Surfers is the tourist hub for the Gold Coast region. High rise accommodation buildings are everywhere. They seem to be stacked almost on top of each other, & central Surfers is a 24 hour area with hundreds of restaurants & cafes spilling into the streets.  Dozens of Night clubs & bars bring huge numbers of people into Surfers paradise every night & create a wonderful party atmosphere. The Surfers Paradise & general Gold Coast Area is a water wonderland. The tourist area is built on the coastal strip with the Nerang River just behind it. We have hundreds of kilometres of canals, mainly man made with thousands of homes built right on the waters edge. Most of these homes have private jetties to accommodate personal boats. Rent a boat to explore this wonderful area. Contact Trevor Bell on 0417 780260 to discuss options with a private exclusive charter on ‘Luxury One’ a Mustang 3800 LE Sports Cruiser.    ‘As good as it gets’

Dreamworld (Theme Park)

This is a special place where the entire family can have a great time. You will get the chance to take part in a number of activities here, from watching wildlife to enjoying wacky entertainment. Here is where you will find the highest free-falling ride in the world, which is called the Giant Drop. It will take you just five seconds to drop to 120 meters! If you enjoy to whirl round and round, then go to the Wipeout where you will get the opportunity to spin for five minutes–a surprisingly long time to spin.

At the Tiger Island, you will see white and gold Bengal Tigers in an environment that has been specially engineered to mimick their natural habitat.

Other interesting features at the park include the Tower of Terror, the Cyclone, Wiggles World, Nick Central and the Claw.

The park is open every day from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most energetic city’s and a perfect holiday destination. The incredible blend of sun, surf & sand with a sub-tropical climate  makes it a unique place to be. The development and huge investment in high rise accommodation has transformed Surfers Paradise, the main tourist area, into a city of shining skyscrapers. It is Australia’s premier tourist destination boasting 4 major, themed fun parks, beaches to rival the best in the world, & protected inland waterways that provide hundreds of kilometres of safe flat water to explore.  With plenty of sunshine, clear blue waters, numerous sporting & shopping opportunities and  decadent hotels springing up regularly, the Gold Coast is a perfect destination for a luxury holiday. The Gold Coast is best explored via water, and for this, all you is need time, and Gold Coast Luxury Cruises  38 ft Mustang LE Sports Cruiser. Aptly named ‘Luxury One’.

The reflected light bouncing off the rippled water with the tall buildings of the tourist strip in the back ground creates  a magical ambiance.

The Gold Coast is nationally recognized as Australia’s premier tourist destination.  It has venues and locations for all kinds of events and celebrations. Having said that, I would like to mention that our waterways are arguably the Gold Coasts best attraction. To get the most value from this beautiful water wonderland, hire ‘Luxury One’ a 38′ Mustang LE Sports Cruiser with professional crew for the ultimate experience! ‘Luxury One’ carries a maximum of 10 people including crew.

Be it day or night, the Gold Coast looks absolutely spectacular viewed from on board a boat. The world famous icon of Q1, The tallest residential tower in the southern hemisphere stands tall over down town Surfers Paradise. The cluster of shaped roofs and shadows from hundreds of high rise residential building with a myriad of twinkling lights is our back drop. At night, the reflected light on water bounces every which way & I never tire of just being there! And there is no better place to be than aboard a boat that glides along our Nerang River, day or night, to drink in the alluring look of main river palatial multi-million dollar homes owned by Australia’s wealthiest!

Quietly cruising along, experiencing the ambiance of where we are is always  thrilling, as well as an awe-inspiring experience! A close view of some the homes never fails to impress me regardless of the number of times I visit.

A river, canal & Broadwater cruise has all the advantages that are intrinsic to the best the Gold Coast can offer! Cruising aboard Luxury One can terminate at one of our up-market waterfront restaurants where food is prepared by expert chefs.

Gold Coast Luxury Cruises encourages BYO everything to keep costs under control or catering to any level can be arranged!

All the frills that are essential for a fun-filled party can be integrated into a party for up to 8 people aboard Luxury One. If you have some creative ideas! Party themes, & music, – all of this and more can be organised on a cruise party.

A boat cruise as a party venue is ideal for official and formal functions also. It is perhaps more so as freedom from confining corporate walls and intimidating boardroom environment can help people meet without inhibition and think out of the box. Consider having breakfast meetings on board Luxury One with bacon & eggs cooked on the BBQ & quality coffee. There is nothing like a breath of fresh air to create a flash of inspiration and ingenuity!

What’s more, one never gets tired of the amazing views from a boat during the day or the glittering lights of the city skyline at night!

The Broadwater is the one place that beckons you back again and again no matter how many times you have visited in the past. This is exactly the reason why private boat charter is the ultimate option if you want to experience the best the Gold Coast can offer. The spectacular views, the luxury of the cruise, the extraordinary setting and the lingering ambiance will make for an absolutely memorable and unforgettably enjoyable experience!
