Gold Coast Tours & Vacations

Queensland’s Gold Coast is best known for its beaches, but there is plenty more natural beauty to discover here.

The Gold Coast has some stunning national parks, from the dramatic coastline hugging Burleigh National Park to the cool rainforest walks of Tamborine Mountain and thousands of glowworms at Springbrook. It’s also the ideal spot to immerse yourself in nature as you walk the Scenic Rim. Or to take the time to discover how the frenetic energy of Surfers Paradise is a far cry from the old-school vibes at Rainbow Bay. Or to stroll along the most famous stretch of sand in all of Queensland. So, sit back, relax and let us show you the different sides of this popular tourist destination.

Walk Queensland's Scenic Rim

Melissa · Traveled September 2024
Our Scenic Rim Walking Tour was amazing! Our tour leader Alison, was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and looked after all our needs from day 1. The walking was very manageable and we learnt a lot about the birds and wildflife. It was so much fun sharing the experience with like minded people and relaxing at night time with each other. I highly recommend this trip. It has changed my outlook on being with nature, and I am ready to keep exploring our beautiful world.

Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Liberty · Traveled August 2024
A brilliant trip that shows you lots of places on the East coast. Taimi was an excellent tour guide and shared her knowledge of the country throughout the trip. Activities are suited to all abilities - a good mix of sightseeing, walking and sporting. There are long drives to get to each location and not many meals included. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Sydney to Cairns Adventure

Laura · Traveled August 2024
I would highly recommended the Sydney to Cairns Adventure that Intrepid Tours offers especially if you are a person who likes to learn about history and nature. We visited several coastal beaches. For example, they coordinated kayaking in Byron Bay, whale watching in Hervey Bay, snorkeling via Ocean Rafting in the Great Barrier Reef. On three different occasions we learned about Aboriginal history from the Eora Nation in Sydney, the Gumbaynggirr at Red Rock in Coffs Harbour, and lastly Mungalla Station about the Nywaigi people. On top of all this, there were several hiking opportunities to see firsthand the beauty and diversity of Australia. Lastly a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world as well as having a great tour guide named, Taimi.
