The Gold Coast waterways happen to be some of the best in the world. There is little doubt to why adventurers and water sports enthusiasts always find themselves drawn to the Gold Coast and all the water adventures this slice of heaven in Australia has to offer. Let's dive the best of the lot.
The Gold Coast has long been a very exciting surfing destination. Professionals from around the world flock to the Gold Coast so they can catch a couple of waves. Hotels in Gold Coast Qld are almost packed to the brim during the surfing season. But if you are just starting out, then that is okay too as there are plenty of surf schools in the vicinity where you could go to learn more about it. If you don't want to go through "school" to learn surfing, you can always ask the locals if they are willing to let you tag along. It is one of the favourite past times for Queenslanders.
Another fun experience that water sports lovers would find utterly exciting is kayaking. While it might not give you, the adrenaline rush you are constantly craving, kayaking is a great way to see the surroundings. Especially if you love marine life and floating out at sea with minimum noise disturbance, kayaking is the sport for you. There are training courses if you'd like to learn a bit more and most tours will also include the instructor who will come along with you. These tours can last up to two hours. If you'd like to know more you should request information from the hotel you hope to stay at like Oaks Gold Coast Hotel, for example.
If the adrenaline shots are what you are looking for, check out the jet boat scene. You will find yourself strapped to a jet propeller and whipped across like you are walking on water. Some of these experiences come in full tour packages with video footage and commemorative photographs as well as seamless hotel transfers. Ask your hotel if they can arrange one of the jet boat tours on the Gold Coast for you and take to the skies!
The Broadwater is where you should be going if you want to go on a jet ski safari. Thanks to the fact that these safaris will be guided tours you don't need to have any prior experience on learning to manoeuvre a jet ski. The tours will take up to two and a half hours or just 30 minutes whatever you prefer. There are tours for all kinds of budgets and experience levels.
It's not a trip to the Gold Coast if you don't spend some time seeking out the giants of the sea. Climb aboard a fishing vessel prepped to take on the high seas and chase some whales. The pure majesty of these gigantic creatures when they burst through the surface is something everyone should see. As long as they are not very small, you can take children along too.
