Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

4.7/5
1.5k reviews

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is split in two by the Gold Coast Highway, with the two areas connected by a concrete tunnel. Established in 1947, the sanctuary was initially known for feeding wild rainbow lorikeets and has since gradually developed into a comprehensive park integrating animal exhibits, interactive experiences, and wildlife rescue. The kangaroo area is one of the core experience zones in the park, where kangaroos and emus roam freely within an open grassy enclosure, and visitors can feed and observe them up close. Koalas reside in a dedicated koala area, where visitors can walk into the koala habitat for close observation and have the opportunity to take photos with the koalas. The park is also home to Australian native species such as crocodiles, cassowaries, possums, echidnas, and dingoes. There is a wild lorikeet feeding experience every morning and evening, where flocks of rainbow lorikeets fly in and land on visitors' hands to feed—a signature activity the sanctuary has carried on to this day. The WildSkies free-flight bird show displays the flying skills of various bird species, and the Lost Valley area brings together tropical rainforest species such as red pandas, tree kangaroos, and capybaras. There is also an Aboriginal cultural performance every afternoon, presenting traditional dance and didgeridoo performances. The wildlife hospital in the park is also open to the public, where visitors can learn about wildlife rescue work through observation windows. △ Get up close and personal with Australia's native species △ Learn more about biology and geography △ Enjoy exciting performances held daily

Gold Coast beach stretches for approximately 70 km, and its golden sand is the defining feature of this coastline, from which the name "Gold Coast" is derived. The sand is fine and glows with a warm golden luster in the sunlight, while the seawater transitions from a shallow turquoise near the shore to a deep blue in the distance, creating distinct layers. The beach is lined with various sections, each with its own unique character; the northern section has a lively atmosphere, while the southern section is relatively quiet, catering to different preferences. Surfing is a quintessential, long-standing experience at this beach. The coastline features several well-known surf breaks, among which the "Superbank" near Snapper Rocks is famous for producing long, hollow waves, attracting large numbers of surfing enthusiasts year-round. The coastal walkway connects multiple beach sections, making it a great way to explore by walking or cycling. Located in a subtropical region, the area enjoys a mild climate and abundant sunshine, making it a suitable destination to visit all year round.

The park hosts multiple dolphin shows and educational sea lion presentations every day, so it is recommended to confirm the day's time slots upon entry before planning the order of your visit, and remember to secure seats early before popular shows begin. Visitors bringing children should not miss Nickelodeon Land, where animated characters from SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Dora the Explorer, and PAW Patrol meet and take photos with visitors; those who enjoy thrills can take on the wooden roller coaster Leviathan, the motorbike-style roller coaster Jet Rescue, and the Storm Coaster, which ends with a big splash. △ Meet your favorite animated characters △ Get close to marine life △ Experience thrilling rides

We went straight to the zoo after getting off the plane. We arrived quite late, but we were lucky enough to see most of the animals, including wombats, Tasmanian devils, and smiling rats. A great zoo, highly recommended. The coffee at the entrance was delicious, and feeding the parrots was also very interesting. Feeding starts at 4 PM, and even when we left at 5 PM, there were still parrots to feed.

It was so much fun, much better than Tokyo DisneySea! The lines for the rides were shorter, and there were shows and interactions with manta rays. It's a shame we arrived a bit late in the morning and missed out on so many rides. The only downside was that the daily operating hours were too short. It's perfect for the whole family (the worst part is that adults aren't allowed to ride the carousel because they're tall; they can only ride in small cars, ugh).

The deepest feeling of the Gold Coast hot air balloon experience is to get up very early, but when the hot air balloon slowly lifts off to see the sunrise, it feels like everything is worth it, and the lifting process is very smooth, looking out from high altitude views are very open!

It's actually a bit difficult. It's very hard to stand on the board and keep your balance. It's also very tiring. But my child loves it so much that she strongly asked to sign up for another class the next day. She was ranked first in her favorite sport, hahahaha

An hour of tour was so relaxing. Crossing from land to water and vice versa was fascinating. Tour guides were fun and informative. Registration was quick, our tickets were already printed by staff before we arrived and didn't need any more details or IDs. The given time frame was also followed. Overall, very good!

[Scenery] One of the most beautiful beaches on the Gold Coast! [Fun] Lots of people surfing 🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♂️ and even watch the sunrise. [Value] Plenty of apartment-style hotels nearby, so you can choose the right budget for your budget. A comfortable stay here for three to five days, or even a week or two.
