Day 1 HANG LOOSE MOTHER GOOSE
The Gold Coast is the picturesque beachside location where Australians choose to go on holiday. Without wasting a second of the tour we start by visiting a local favourite beach to view the surfers enjoying the clear blue waves. Take a walk on the beach or grab a coffee before continuing onto your hotel to freshen up before spending an afternoon of fun learning about the regions surf culture. Travel to an uncrowded beach for a hands-on surf knowledge/lesson with some true blue experts – all abilities are catered too in a safe and fun environment. There is a chance for you to try your hand at a boomerang throwing and wander along beach looking for wildlife.

Day 2 A WHALE OF A TIME
Humpback Whales are the stars of the show today although the tours often encounter Bottlenose Dolphins, Common Dolphins, sharks, turtles and albatross. Within 20 minutes of departure you will be assisting our expert crew to find Humpback Whales by scanning the horizon for the famous “blow”. At this point in the tour there is always great anticipation which quickly turns to excitement when a distant splash or a great exhalation of breath confirms we have found a whale. Venture to another favourite beachside suburb for a guided easy walk through a coastal National Park. Then indulge in the vibrant food scene of the Gold Coast with an exciting progressive dinner visiting several restaurants as you mix with locals and holiday makers.

Day 3 TURTLE ENCOUNTERS
A morning encounter of snorkelling with some impressive green turtles on Cook Island. A 15 minute boat ride will have you cruising past some of the most beautiful beaches Australia has to offer. Cook Island is famous for its large population of green turtles, and the clown fish are always happy to pose for a photo. Once at Cook Island you will enjoy a mix of colourful hard and soft corals, tropical fish and of course the magnificent turtles. This is an experience of a lifetime led by a qualified instructor to show you the way. Snorkelling with the turtles at Cook Island is one of the few places in Australia that gives you the opportunity to see not just one, but many turtles in a shallow and safe environment. Back on the coast visit a laidback coastal village with time to find lunch in the cafes before your transfer to the Gold Coast airport and the end of a sensational #GTS_Snapshot. (B)
