Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Broadbeach in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Warner Bros. Movie World and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

SeaWorld Gold Coast alone was worth the trip, but combined with SeaWorld Gold Coast this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
