Top 10 Things to do on the Gold Coast

So it’s settled: you’re celebrating your mate’s final days as a single man on the Gold Coast. Excellent choice! This destination in sunny Southeast Queensland is a popular spot for tourists and holiday makers for so many reasons. There are the blissful, sandy stretches of surf and swimming beaches. There are the famous theme parks with their vast selection of tall, fast, heart-stopping rides. There’s the famous (or should that be infamous?) district of Surfers Paradise with its “glitter strip” of nightclubs, bars and strip clubs. One thing’s for sure, you’re gonna have a blast on the Gold Coast. And Wicked Bucks are here to help you make the most of it.

You may be wondering where to begin. With so much happening on the Gold Coast, how do you pick the most fun and most satisfying activities? Luckily that’s where Wicked Bucks can help you. We’re Gold Coast locals, and we’ve put together a list of our most wickedly enjoyable Gold Coast bucks activities. You can pick and mix several of these wicked things to do in order to plan the perfect weekend. While we have something for everyone and believe all our activities are pretty cool (of course), these ones will give you a good taste of what the Gold Coast is all about. They’ll also leave you wanting more.

 

Bucks Party Day Time Ideas

Sky Diving

Sky diving is such a thrilling activity that, really, it should be on everybody’s bucket list. And now when you celebrate your buddy’s bachelor party on the Gold Coast, you can finally tick it off. You’ll get views of the Gold Coast like no other as you go flying through the sky in over a minute of exhilarating free-fall. Then when the parachute opens, you can take a deep breathe, relax and enjoy the views on offer in this beautiful part of Queensland.  

 

Brewery Tour 

There’s plenty of beer on the Gold Coast and you won’t just find it in the many bars and nightclubs here. The Coast also has a large number of breweries offering both one-of-a-kind local brews and craft beers plus a chance to peek behind the scenes and see where they’re made. Some of these breweries are in beachside locations like Burleigh Heads while others are in quieter hinterland or country spots such as Tamborine Mountain. At Wicked Bucks we can take you on a tour of some of the Gold Coast’s best breweries so you can see how a good craft beer is made, Gold Coast-style, and taste it for yourself.

 

Surfing Lessons 

Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to surf but haven’t had the chance yet. Maybe you grew up far from the beach. Well, here on the Gold Coast, surfing is not only a popular activity but a big part of the culture. So you’re in the perfect place to let Wicked Bucks take you on a surfing experience! You’ll feel like Mick Fanning the first time you catch a couple of waves, so go ahead and give it a go.

 

Jet Boating 

Another thrilling activity that the Gold Coast offers is jet boating. And in the pristine waters of the Gold Coast with the bright sunshine above, you’re in the perfect location to give this activity a go. Your boat will blast across the water at stunning speeds and then execute a number of fast spins, 360-degree turns, and slides. This isn’t just a relaxing boat ride on the Gold Coast (although we can organise that too, if you like). This is a fast-paced, fun-filled activity for thrill seekers, those who love the water and those who appreciate good scenery.

 

Barefoot Bowls and BBQ  

Barefoot bowls is a classic manly down-to-earth sport, and when you throw in a BBQ as well you’ve pretty much got the ultimate laidback buck’s activity. Combine these two great things – BBQ and bowls – Wicked-style on the Gold Coast, one of the best locations in Australia and possibly the world to indulge in them.

 

Paintball Skirmish

The forests of the Gold Coast are good for a bushwalk but that’s not all they’re good for. They’re also an excellent place for a game of Paintball Skirmish. Run through a military-style obstacle course shooting paintballs at your buddies. It’s as adrenaline-pumping as a military battle but instead of being dangerous, it’s just fun. And with Wicked Bucks involved, it’s not just paintball but the wickedest game of paintball around.
