Heading to Surfer’s Paradise offers you more than just some rad waves. There’s the ever-popular Seaworld for the family, and also an incredible nightlife scene.

Of course if you do want to get active this is one of the best holiday locations to do so. Take to the waves in any number of ways, with top-class dive schools, perfect bays for windsurfing, serious waves for the pro surfer, and even more relaxed boat tours for those that want to appreciate everything at a more sedate pace. Other activities in the region include the increasingly popular quad biking excursions, as well as horseback riding, and Adventure Park – a great theme park with some brilliant thrill rides. There are plenty of opportunities to appreciate nature too, with several wildlife reserves to choose from. The Rainforest Skywalk is a particularly new attraction, featuring stunning treetop walkways and some of the best chances for unique holiday snaps you can find.
