It's hard to believe that Surfer’s Paradise was named after a hotel because this Gold Coast city is indeed a paradise for surfers. Surfers Paradise lives up to its name with its summer vibes all year round, waves that just keep rollin', and a surf scene that's as welcoming to newbies as it is to seasoned pros. But surprise, surprise! There are more fun things to do in Surfers Paradise beyond riding the waves. Hop on, we will tell ya what they are based on where your interests lie!
For The Action Junkies
Let us take you to the waters! No, no, not for surfing. As you may already know, Surfers Paradise river cruises are a great way to experience the city from the waters. If you wish to blend a little bit of heart pounding adventure with your sightseeing experience, a jet boat ride in Surfers Paradise is the way to go! With thrilling spins and power slides, these boats are extremely fun and safe for thrill-seekers of all age groups!
And, do not forget the absolute fun that Surfers Paradise theme parks offer! If you are a roller coaster enthusiast, you’ve got to visit Dreamworld, Australia’s largest theme park for some incredibly exciting rides, but if making marine friends is more your thing, Sea World is the place to be. Trust us, the fun never ends! There are plenty of theme parks in and around Surfers Paradise that offer a wide range of entertainment and activities!
