Activities

A mix of activities you can get involved in during your study abroad adventure!

Around Gold Coast

Bush walks

The hinterland of South East Queensland is perfect for hiking, with must-see spots including Tamborine Mountain, Springbrook National Park, and the Numinbah Valley.

Surfing

You can’t visit the Gold Coast without picking up a surfboard. With countless surf spots to choose from, there’s something for every skill level. Beginners should visit Rainbow Bay for gentle waves and easy access, while more experienced surfers—or those who just want to watch the pros in action—should check out Snapper Rocks and Kirra Point.

Cold Nips, QLD

Dip, nip, and sip with this sunrise cold plunge group in Gold Coast. Every Wednesday this gang rises with the sun to raise awareness about mental health with a good ole ocean dip. Stick around for coffee and a chance to catch up with friends at a local cafe. Follow @COLD_NIPS_GOLDCOAST to see which Queensland beach they’re at!
