Stradbroke Island
Described by many visitors as a trip to paradise, Stradbroke Island is an unmissable experience if you are in the area. A 45 minute ferry trip from the centre of Brisbane, this amazing place is actually the second largest sand island in the world, lying at 40km in length! Naturally, its beaches are something of complete awe – pure white beaches that will make you never want to leave. Whilst on the island, you can spend time with wildlife, walk the North Gorge to take in some amazing scenery and head to Brown Lake for a truly unique experience.
Springbook and Tamborine Rainforest
Head out to Springbrook to experience the Australian rainforests in all of their glory. Take a walk around the Springbrook National Park for a scenic trail with landscape that you’ve never seen anything like before. The magnificent Mt Tamborine is one of the most popular tourist areas on the east coast, and includes numerous wineries and restaurants where you can take in the picturesque views whilst you relax with a drink. You can even go to Cedar Creek, famous for the Glow Warm caves. Or try a trip to see rock pools and waterfalls. There really is an abundance of activities and things to see on the beautiful Springbrook and Tamborine Rainforest day trip.
Brisbane City Tour
Whilst the surrounding areas of Brisbane are simply stunning, you can’t visit the area without making the most of the city itself. The Brisbane River winds around the city centre and offers a multitude of watersports activities and walks around the riverbanks. Book a cruise on the river to take in the sights from the water. Take in the history of the city with visits to the City Hall and St John's Cathedral and relax at one of the fine bars and restaurants with a magnificent view of the magnificent river.
