I absolutely loved this trail. I am from the UK so it was a fun way to see the sights of Broadbeach. Exploring this way is much better than a tour as you get see more than just the popular sights everyone goes to. The trail enables you to learn about the local area with a nice amount of challenge added in. What more could you ask for? I have never seen anything like this before and I was so impressed with how easy the app was to use. I would definitely recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Tricity experience having done both Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach trails. The ability to see the sights and get around at our own pace, while being taken on a mysterious journey through such an iconic location was very special. As a wheelchair user I found the experience very accessible and loved solving all the clues. Great way to get around and get the lay of the land as a visitor or a local seeing how well they know their unique areas.

We just did this yesterday and had a fantastic time. Our guide Nick was brilliant, the organisation, timing and equipment were all spot on. It starts with kayaking which was fun and both easier and harder than expected. Saw a dolphin swimming and jumping on the way to island. Walked across the island to have breakfast which Nick had to carry with him. Plenty to eat but don't go expecting great food. Not a problem for us but just to be aware. After breakfast more kayaking to reach next stop for snorkelling. We've done snorkelling with soooo many other operators and have always been disappointed in quality of masks and snorkels but these were excellent. Saw heaps of fish and created my own little feeding frenzy (including a tiny little bite on my hand) when we fed them (food was not disgusting). Weather was amazing and currents were kind to us. This trip was excellent value for money and we would totally recommend it to anyone with no health issues.

Stand before presidents and queens, statesmen, artists, musicians, generals, explorers, religious leaders and heretics, the famous and infamous. At the Gold Coast Wax Museum each emerge from history, life-size, life like, almost as if they could speak, to bring again their glory and tragedy. Chamber of Horrors - Is one of its kind in the world. A guided half hour tour provides a vivid image of this painful past. The tour of the chamber includes over 40 instruments of punishment from different parts of the World, from the tongue tearer to the guillotine. Each instrument of torture described in illustrative story telling glory with historical background information. The Tour Guide is thought provoking about torture and punishment in today's "civilised world.

First of all there is nothing irreverent on this tour. The Tour Guides were polite, fiiendly and knowledable of local history of the Cemetery and also the Paranotal. There are no jump scares of sillyness and i sense nothing malevolent in the Cenetery itself. The energy of the Cemeter was welcoming and loving. You could even smell the scent of roses in the air. Also for anyone starting out on investingating the paranormal this is well worth it. Lee-Anne

Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.
