Top things to do in Gold Coast

Rising 270 metres above Surfers Paradise atop the iconic Q1 building, the SkyPoint Climb is one of Australia's highest external building walks, an open-air, adrenaline-charged ascent unlike anything else on the Gold Coast. Secured to a purpose-built safety rail system, an expert climb leader guides you up the walkway with regular stops to soak in stunning 360-degree views of the golden beaches, city skyline, and lush green hinterland. The full experience, including the briefing session, takes approximately 90 minutes.
