Surfers Paradise - 2 Hour Gold Coast Sightseeing Cruise
Great ferry ride
Great way to spend a couple of hours, the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Grab the seats on the front if you can,as the breeze was wonderful on a humid day. We didn’t hop off at any location but if you plan ahead it could be worthwhile. There’s parking at shopping centre on Cavil across from the start point for the ferry. Cold drinks are available for purchase on board but there are no toilets on the ferry.
