Insider Tips
- Sky Dive: Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers — you’ll be harnessed up, so avoid anything too bulky. Don’t forget to book early if you want the prime morning slots when the views are clearest.
- Jet Boating: Bring a change of clothes or at least a light jacket — you will get wet. Sunglasses with a strap are a bonus if you don’t want to lose them.
And don’t forget the sunscreen — we’re lucky enough to enjoy sunny days almost all year round on the Gold Coast!
POV: tell us you’re on the Gold Coast without telling us… you’re holding a takeaway coffee with sandy feet and salty hair.
Warner Bros. Movie World — Australia’s #1 Theme park – enjoy adrenaline-pumping rollercoasters like DC Rivals HyperCoaster and Superman Escape and explore the magical Wizard of Oz precint.
Dreamworld — home to Australia’s biggest scream machines, including the Giant Drop and Steel Taipan.
With the parks just minutes from Wake Park, it’s the ultimate back-to-back adventure — water splashes by morning, rollercoaster screams by afternoon. Pro tip: buy your tickets online in advance to save time (and often money, too!).
Until next time, keep chasing that adrenaline.
