Gold Coast 6 days in Gold Coast

Hi all,

My galfriend and i will be travelling to Gold Coast in 2 weeks time.
Our itinerary is mostly visits to the 3 Worlds (Movieworld.etc) and surf school in the morning.

Can anybody suggests any good locations for White water rafting or bush walking, anything else other than the zoo? We are pretty much up for anything as long as its not too far off from our hotel area in Hanlan Street.

Please kindly leave your comments as soon as possible.
Thankz in advanced :-)

Hey mate,

There's heaps to do on the Gold Coast, if you want to go bushwalking there's the springbrook national park.. its a little while from Surfers Paradise where you're staying but there's tour buses that take people out there all the time. The theme parks are great, as you already know by the sounds of it. The beaches are awesome.. I think it really depends on what kinda things you're into..

White water rafting is probably a bit further north, i can't say i know of anywhere that does it here on the Gold Coast. it's probably worth a look at one of the tourist info desks though.. If you go into the main shopping centre in the middle of Surfers Paradise you can't miss the tourist info centre there - they have brochures for all sorts of things and they can probably give you more info on the national parks.

I've been searching through the travel books and found one activity 'Zorbing'. Any idea if its really worth a try? I'm considering between Zorbing and bungee jumping...weeeeeee!!!!
