Hop on Hop Off Bus – Tamborine Mountain from Gold CoastLiann_L, Aug 2026
Friendly and flexible tour
I had read mixed reviews and had received mixed messages about the hotel pick up ( Cool Destinations vs pineapple tours) and was slightly confused as to locations to hop off and on but it turned out to be a wonderful experience made even better by the fantastic cool sunshine !
The tour company whatsapped me 1-2 days before the tour to confirm that they would indeed pick me from my hotel which wasn’t in the list. Mel was punctual and efficient and very accommodating . Anthony - the hop on and off bus driver was ever so patient and helpful and tried his best to make sure we all had a good time. The Cedar falls walk and skywalk are worth doing as you get to enjoy the forest air and ancient trees. Gallery walk has really interesting shops and Anthony was great with his food recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful day out!

Gold Coast Buffet Lunch Sightseeing CruisejohnmP3236YW, Aug 2026
excellent value
Had a very enjoyable afternoon cruising the Broadwater with visitors from Sydney. The crew were excellent with special thanks to the young chef, Nalia (?) who went above and beyond to cater for my wife who is coeliac and the food she prepared and presented was first class. The rest of the crew were also very friendly and proficient.
The only comment I would make was regarding the commentary which was basically non-existent. There could've been a briefing on the history of the GC, its population, how many beaches etc etc.
I would definitely recommend to visitors to the coast

Relaxing tour
A lovely way to spend a sunny afo cruising some canals and seeing how the rich live. Though didnt see many people around. Then went over to the seaworld area to check out some flash boats. Cheese and crackers a nice touch. Drinks available.
Very witty captain Pete kept us entertained 😆

Eye-Opening. Relaxed. Must Do.
Went on the Twilight Cruise around the canals and out to the marina. Had a really relaxing and enjoyable time. The weather was pleasant and a little bit fresh but perfect for an outside river cruise. The vessel was reasonably basic but certainly very comfortable and just the thing for this experience. Certainly don't want a whale watch catamaran style vessel for this. The crew was welcoming and helpful. Food and drink was appropriate for this experience. We sat on the top deck and had a lovely 'glass' of bubbly delivered. You can sit inside. The commentary was delivered by the captain and was clear, engaging and interesting. No pre-recorded loop.We enjoyed it and others on the cruise appeared to do likewise.It would have been nice to have come back a different way but that may not have been possible.

Five star captain sailor!!!
What a fun thing to do solo .
Had a blast the boat was unreal!!!!
Sailor the boat captain was so great he stoped along the way and showed us the nere by landmarks and history he was soooo funny he should be a standup comedian.
I had the best day in a long time laughing the hole time ! Safety was he’s priority and made sure we all had fun and enjoyed ourselves!
Everyone on the boat enjoyed young sailors driving and his fun facts and jokes !

We had a fun time, it was interactive! :) The only thing would be that it’s a little pricey for young children, but still was great fun. Thank you

GREAT DAY OUT!
We really enjoyed our time on the boat and would definitely do it again. The whole experience was very well organised, with friendly staff and great service throughout. The food was varied and enjoyable, and the commentary added a lot to the trip with plenty of interesting information presented in an engaging way.A relaxing, enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

Good-paced and convenient HOHO tour
It was a really good experience seeing glow worms, walking through the rainforest, Skywalk. The hop on hop off option was very convenient. We had some lunch at the Gallery Walk before heading off to see the Curtis falls. Paul told us to watch out for Pademelons and did see some. It was rounded off by spotting some kangaroos at the Coombabah Reserve from the van. The activities were not fast faced and felt very organic and relaxed. Paul was an excellent driver and great conversationalist, with a really good sense of humor. We got a lot of gems of knowledge and stories from Paul. We would definitely recommend this activity.
