For a fix that will fill any adrenalin seekers quota, your first stop has to be the jaw-dropping rides, heart-thumping water-slides and all-round fun of the Gold Coast’s theme parks.

Maybe you have a need for speed? Race around a track in a real V8 race car or feel the G-force suck you into your seat on a Tiger Moth joyflight. Set your sights high by taking on the SkyPoint Climb at the top of the Gold Coast’s tallest building.

Up in the Hinterland you can learn how to hang-glide, take a treetop walk through the rainforest or put yourself to the test at Australia’s largest ropes and adventure games course at Mount Tamborine.

The adventure doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. Burn up the Broadwater on a jet boat or jet ski. Learn to tame the waves with a surfing lesson or test your balance on a stand-up paddle board.

Chill out with a spot of kayaking, creek fishing or by taking a hot air balloon ride and enjoy the majestic views.
