The Gold Coast is Australia's entertainment capital, with attractions including wildlife parks to theme parks and everything in between.
The Gold Coast is probably best known for its 43 miles of beaches, making this an attractive option for many tour groups.
Travelling teams can choose to finish their tour on the Gold Coast where they can enjoy a couple of days relaxing on the beach, whilst also enjoying plenty of other activities. The Surfers Paradise Night Markets are always a hit, while some choose to spend a day at an amusement park - its not southern California or Florida, but it might be a fun day trip for your team to finish off their tour.
There are a number of wildlife sanctuaries in the area where you can see crocodiles, cuddle a koala or pet a kangaroo, and for those feeling a little more adventurous you can climb to the top of the Q1 Tower - the tallest residential building in Australia. Many say once the sun goes down the real funs starts, with Cavill Avenue the center of night life on the Gold Coast.
