Things to do in Coolangatta
The Southern Gold Coast is home to a range of amazing outdoor activities. The fun doesn’t end at the beach, and if you are looking for a few activities to do during your stay then we have a list of ideas to get you started.
Currumbin Rock Pools
The Currumbin Rock Pools are secret swimming holes just 20 minutes from Cooly. Loved by the locals, these pools are the perfect way to cool off. Plunge into icy cold waters and have a picnic under the trees in this little oasis.
Surf Lessons
The protected waters at Rainbow Bay and Greenmount Beach are the Gold Coasts only northern facing beaches, making them the perfect spot for surf lessons. With rolling waves, these beaches attract all levels of surfers, from beginners to pros.
Gold Coast Theme Parks
You can’t visit the Gold Coast without stopping by one of our incredible theme parks! Make a splash at Wet n’ Wild or swim with dolphins at Seaworld. If you love a hair-raising ride then head to Dreamworld or Movie World for a day of rollercoasters and shows.
Skydiving
There’s no better way to get your adrenaline pumping than jumping out of a plane. An activity for thrill seekers only, you can book a tandem dive from 15000 ft right above the iconic QLD coastline. Take in the white sand beaches and rolling hinterland as you freefall through the sky.
Currumbin Wildlife Santuary
Animals lovers unite at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Spend your day walking dingoes, cuddling koalas and patting wombats. The sanctuary offers a range of animal encounters and shows and is home to The Lost Valley. The valley is a stunning 5-acre rainforest open for your exploration and is home to Red pandas, Capybaras and more.
