DISCOVER THE
GOLD COAST

The Gold Coast delivers one of Australia's most diverse tourism offerings in a remarkably compact region — from 57 kilometres of Pacific coastline to World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforests just 45 minutes inland, from eight championship golf courses to the nation's highest concentration of theme parks, and from a thriving craft food and drink scene to ancient Aboriginal cultural landscapes.

Cooee Tours has been guiding visitors through this region since 1974 — longer than most of the hotels, theme parks, and resorts that dominate the coastal strip. Our advantage is not just experience, but genuine local knowledge: we know the guides who have personal relationships with the producers and park managers, the time of day each attraction is at its best, and the hidden places that most visitors never find.

Every Cooee Tours Gold Coast experience includes return transport, expert guide commentary, and entry fees where applicable. Our modern, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles and maximum group sizes of 16 mean you travel with the attentiveness of a private guide and the social energy of a small group of fellow travellers.
