Gold Coast boasts of great outdoors complete with scenic beaches, fascinating wildlife along with fresh seafood, and adrenaline-inducing activities. For those who were fortunate enough to have a splendid childhood, Gold Coast is perfect to relive those memories again.
Any fans of DC Comics would simply relish at the chance of impersonating their favourite character for a day! At Warner Bros. Movie World, which is located within a 35-minute driving distance from Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites via M1, fans will be able to make their superhero (or villain) dream come true. You really shouldn't miss this chance if you're a comic fan! During a day spent here, you will find various characters walking around the park, evoking the most pleasing childhood memories. Many characters appear on the park's Main Street – make sure you grab the park's map at the entrance to make sure you don't miss any of these characters.
When you're planning to holiday at one of the serviced apartments Gold Coast has to offer, make sure you set a day aside from your itinerary to go skydiving in Brisbane. Skydiving is one of the top things to do on most bucket lists – the prospect of pushing your boundaries seem extremely liberating. If you're a first-timer for skydiving, you can sign up for a tandem jump, as you get to be harnessed to the safety of an expert instructor. Be prepared with comfortable and stretchy clothing as your body will be curved like a "banana" during the freefall.
If you really want to feel young with exhilaration (or adrenaline) coursing through your veins again, sign up for parasailing! It is the perfect blend between recreation and adventure – go out to the sea on a special parasailing boat where you will be harnessed to a parasail wing. As the boat gains momentum, you will find yourself gently being lifted into the air and flying behind the boat like a bird! This is definitely an adventure that should be shared with someone close, so make sure that you've got your friend or that special someone signed up for kitesurfing too!
Australia is known for its lush green landscapes and beautiful stretches of forests. To experience this natural beauty at a glance, you can try out zipline through it, which will immediately provide you with a mind-blowing bird's-eye view of the entire region. In Gold Coast, you can try out this exhilarating activity at the Canyon Flyer Guided Zipline. Here, you will find seven zip lines that offer visitors a tour that takes almost three hours – as you zoom above the striking jungles, you'll get to relish the mesmerising views of Tamborine Mountain and Cedar Creek Gorge.
Ever seen the stunning hot air balloons pictured against a setting sky? You can check off that from your bucket list when you're holidaying on Gold Coast. Do make sure that you're up and ready before the sunrise to be up in the air as the first few rays of the day lighten up the surroundings.
