Gold Coast Transport

The Gold Coast's extensive transport network means getting around is not only quick and easy, but also safe and surprisingly inexpensive. In fact, sampling the wide variety of transport options can be an added holiday attraction. One day you could be winging your way to South Stradbroke Island aboard a seaplane, cruising in a fun convertible the next or even doing some sightseeing from a water taxi.

There are helicopters and houseboats to hire, cruise boats, monorails, bicycles, bush trails and fabulous limousines to take you the 'stretch' of the Gold Coast. If you fancy a quick flit to the Great Barrier Reef, there 5 even an executive jet to charter or a 4WD adventure.

To take in the sights and visit the region's thrill-a-minute theme parks, local tour operators as well as Surfside Buslines offer services from most points on the Gold Coast while metered taxis will take you wherever you want to go.
