SkyPoint Observation Deck

I visited SkyPoint Observation Deck solo and really enjoyed the experience. The 360-degree views from the top of Q1 are excellent—clear views over Surfers Paradise, the beach, the coastline, and the hinterland. It is a great place to take in the scale of the Gold Coast from 230 metres above ground.As a solo traveller, I found it very easy to enjoy at my own pace. I found a seat by the windows, ordered a beer from the bar, and simply relaxed while watching the city and coastline below. The atmosphere was comfortable and unhurried, and having a drink while taking in the view made the visit feel more special than just walking around an observation deck.The lift ride up is quick, and the deck is spacious enough to move around and find a good viewing spot. I would recommend visiting around late afternoon if possible, so you can enjoy both daylight and the changing light over the coast.Overall, a highly recommended stop in Surfers Paradise.

Gold Coast Sea World

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

No tickets are needed; simply scan the QR code to enter the park, which is significantly cheaper than buying tickets on the official website. Most rides have no queues, making for an extremely enjoyable experience. Even the most popular roller coasters only have queues of about 20 minutes. Transportation is convenient; take the Surfers Paradise light rail to the northernmost station and then transfer to a bus; the entire journey takes only one hour.

Dreamworld

The rides and attractions are good. However, most of the rides got only one staff operating the process. Even though not many people were queuing (maybe around 30), we had to wait for at least 30 mins or more. Therefore we didn’t have enough time to play.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.
