Gold Coast Australia Main Attractions Transfers

Getting around the Gold Coast can be easy if you plan ahead. You can hire a car or use one of the other attraction transfer options.

If you choose to use the commercial attraction transfers you have don't have the stress of trying to find each location, but you don't have quite the flexibility.

What To Do If The Weather Isn't Great?



There are many activities you can do on or around the Gold Coast. Occassionally, we do have a rainy day or two!

That definitely doesn't mean the fun stops!

In fact there is still loads to see and do! My rainy day guide covers some of the Gold Coast Australia main attractions that are suitable for rainy days.

As well as the usual indoor activities there are even some hints and tips on how to enjoy some of the other Gold Coast activities and attractions when the weather isn't so great.

To Book Ahead Or Not?

If you want to remain flexible, you can book your tours or activities when you arrive. However, if you want to keep to a plan and a budget it can be a great idea to book in advance so you lock in your spot on a tour which can be very handy especially in peak periods.

Using a local Gold Coast booking service ensures that you are dealing with the real tour operators and I find the information is kept up to date more effectively. I cannot tell you how much rubbish I read about the Gold Coast, I swear some people haven't set foot in Australia let alone been on the Gold Coast.

To get the most out of your Gold Coast experience book all your Gold Coast Australia main attractions, tours, activities, theme park tickets and transfers in one spot.
