🇦🇺Gold Coast | Military aircrafts fly low🛩️

What an incredible weekend at the inaugural Pacific Airshow in Gold Coast! From Friday to Sunday, Surfers Paradise Beach became an aviation wonderland that left me speechless. The skies were ablaze with heart-pounding aerobatics and mind-boggling aircraft displays. Loop-the-loops, barrel rolls, and gravity-defying stunts had me on the edge of my seat. The skill and precision of the pilots were beyond belief. This airshow wasn’t just about aeroplanes; it was a full-blown festival! Live music, mouthwatering food trucks, and an electric atmosphere turned every moment into a party. And the fact that it all unfolded against the backdrop of the beach? Pure magic. One of the absolute highlights was the chance to meet the heroic pilots themselves! Their passion for flying and their eagerness to share their experiences were infectious. And yes, I got autographs from these skybound legends. I was there for three days, but the music on the first day was so loud that it was difficult to enjoy the roar of planes. Truly hope the organisers try to fix the problem for a better show next year. If you’ve ever dreamt of combining your love for aviation, breathtaking entertainment, and a beachside paradise, the Pacific Airshow on the Gold Coast is an absolute must. With the added bonus of meeting the pilots in person and snagging their autographs, it’s an experience that’s out of this world. I’m already counting down to the next one! 📍Surfers Paradise Beach Address – 60 Esplanade, Surfers Paradise, QLD Price per person – AUD 45 Rating – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #timetotravel

Malt House, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast)

The restaurant interior was rather bland and unimpressive, only the bar area seemed to be where a bit more thought was put into. The vibe I got was a very sterile and functional one, which was further emphasized by the young waitresses’ perfunctory service. Fortunately, this restaurant’s saving grace came in the form of a more experienced staff member (I couldn’t be sure if she was actually the owner), a sweet older lady who was warm and enthusiastic in her manner towards us. The food tasted pretty average, I felt we could’ve gotten better-tasting food elsewhere for lower prices compared to what we were paying here. I’m hazarding a guess that maybe people come here more for the alcohol than the food. My overall rating of the experience: 3 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #restaurant #australiancuisine #surfersparadise #goldcoast #australia

Hyde Paradiso Restaurant, Surfers Paradise

If you’re looking for a restaurant with an up-close ocean view, great ambience, good food and live music, Hyde Paradiso is the place to be. Getting there was a little bit tricky (maybe because I was expecting it to be a standalone restaurant on the ground floor), and I almost walked right by it. Turns out, the restaurant is located on the second floor of the Peppers Soul Hotel. The food was awesome, the ambience was great, the staff were courteous, the restaurant overlooks the ocean, what’s not to love? In terms of value, however, it wasn’t fantastic as the prices here were steeper than usual and because of the crowds that day, we couldn’t get to fully enjoy the ocean view from the balcony seats (which I was really looking forward to!). Maybe a prior reservation would have solved the issue. But overall, it was a nice experience. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #restaurant #australiancuisine #surfersparadise #goldcoast #australia

Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets

Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets opened for business on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 5pm when we visited. What I really like about the markets here in Australia is that a large number of these vendors actually make the products they sell. They aren’t mass-produced or bought at a cheaper price somewhere else and resold in bulk for a higher price. Although we didn’t make many purchases either because of the prices or the practicality of the items, the amount of skill and effort that was put on display and on sale at this market was a joy for me to experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and I was pretty disappointed when we reached the end of the market stalls. Plus points for being conveniently located at Surfers Paradise and right next to the lovely beach. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #markets #beach #surfersparadise #goldcoast #australia

🇦🇺Gold Coast | Aquaduck adventure 🐤

Just had the most thrilling and unforgettable experience with Aquaduck in Gold Coast! Tracy, our fantastic tour guide, and Chris, our funny driver with lots of duck jokes, made this journey truly exceptional. We started our adventure on land, cruising through the city's iconic landmarks and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Tracy's lively commentary kept us entertained and informed throughout the ride. And then came the highlight - the magical moment when we transitioned from land to water! The transformation of the Aquaduck into a boat was incredible, and the feeling of gliding on the water was simply exhilarating! The best part? They actually let us take the wheel! Steering the Aquaduck on the water was an absolute blast, and it added a whole new level of excitement to the experience! The scenic views of the Gold Coast from both land and water were breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of this beautiful city. We captured some amazing photos during the tour, creating lasting memories of this incredible adventure. If you're visiting Gold Coast, don't miss the chance to ride the Aquaduck with Tracy and Chris! It's an adventure like no other, where city meets the sea, and you get to be the captain for a while! 📍 Aquaduck Gold Coast Address - Shop 22, Circle On Cavill Shopping Centre, Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217 Price per person - AUD 50 for adult Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #beachaholic

🇦🇺Gold Coast | Having a BEACH AND CITY VIEW

The view from Mantra on View was simply breathtaking! I loved waking up to the stunning panorama of both the beach and the city, offering the best of both worlds in one frame. Having a balcony was an absolute delight! It provided the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while taking in the fresh sea breeze and admiring the twinkling lights of the city at night. The highlight of my stay was the indulgent bathtub! After a long day of exploring, soaking in the tub with a glass of wine was pure bliss, and it added a touch of luxury to my experience. I appreciated the unique touch of the wooden room key. The texture felt warm and rustic, adding a charming element to the overall stay. While the hotel had a certain charm, it was evident that some parts needed maintenance. Some walls were showing signs of aging, which slightly detracted from the otherwise pleasant ambiance. Although the hotel showed signs of age, its character and unique features made up for it. I'd certainly consider returning for another enjoyable stay! 🏨Mantra on View Surfers Paradise Address - 22 View Ave, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217 Price - AUD 155 per night Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #hotelstaycation
