Frequently Asked Brisbane tour Questions:
Can we extend the trip to include the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?
Yes! We can easily add on time in the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast either before or after your Brisbane stay. Whether it’s theme parks and beaches in Surfers Paradise or the relaxed, scenic vibes of Noosa, we’ll tailor the perfect combo for you.
Is whale watching available during this trip?
Yes — if you’re travelling between June and November, we can add a whale watching tour departing from either Brisbane or the Gold Coast. You’ll get the chance to see humpback whales up close as they migrate along Queensland’s coastline.
Do I need a rental car for this trip?
Not at all. This itinerary works perfectly without a car, thanks to included transfers, walking-friendly locations, and optional guided day tours. If you'd prefer more freedom, we can add a rental car for all or part of the journey.
Can I include more relaxing or cultural activities instead of full-day tours?
Absolutely. We can swap out or shorten day trips in favour of spa time, riverfront dining, art galleries, sunset cruises, or easygoing local markets. The pace is completely up to you.
Can I customise this trip for a honeymoon, family trip, or solo travel?
Yes! Whether you're travelling as a couple, family, or solo, we’ll adjust the experiences and accommodation to match your preferences — from romantic add-ons to kid-friendly options.
Is North Stradbroke Island suitable for swimming and beach time?
Yes — the island has beautiful beaches and is a fantastic spot for a swim, nature walk, or laid-back coastal lunch. It’s also home to wildlife like koalas, kangaroos, dolphins, and sometimes turtles!
