Private tours of the Gold Coast

In 2026, 69 Tours is proud to welcome the Gold Coast to our portfolio. Renowned for its sun-drenched beaches, vibrant city energy, and ancient hinterland rainforests, the region offers an incredible blend of coastal playground and natural wonders.

Located less than 90 km south of Brisbane, our private tours and shore excursions offer two tailored ways to explore:

  • Brisbane Departures: Premium half and full-day journeys starting from your Brisbane hotel, the airport, or the International Cruise Terminal, bringing you back comfortably at the end of the day.
  • Gold Coast Departures: Designed for guests already staying on the Coast. We take you beyond the typical tourist precincts to hidden lookouts, secret spots, and exclusive locations accessible only via private transport.

Guided by local experts, our itineraries feature captivating storytelling, personalised service, and access to iconic experiences—including our partner destination, the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk. Whether starting in Brisbane or on the Coast, experience the Gold Coast privately, comfortably, and in unforgettable style.
