Flights to Australia

Sea World can be found on the Queensland Gold Coast and is potentially the oldest coastal strip’s theme park, it was constructed in 1958 as the Surfers Paradise Ski Gardens at Carrara and soon after it was renamed then moved to Sea World Drive in 1971.

It remains a showcase of underwater life wonders and a location where you can enjoy a variety of rides, shows and other attractions.

Water skiing and Dolphin Shows

For many years its prime attraction has been the waterski show where water skiers do acrobatic jumps and tricks. Then there is the dolphin show where dolphins cavort, do well timed jumps, and generally indulge in showing off.

Shark Bay

One of its more recent attractions is Shark Bay (by no means to be confused with Shark Bay in Western Australia) where not only can you view sharks swimming about but you can also swim with them as well.

And now there are some baby polar bears Hudson and Nelson, and their more adult counterparts Lia and Lutik, can be located at the Polar Bear Shores.

How to Get there?

Sea World is located at Sea World Drive, The Spit, Main Beach, it is around three kilometers to the north of Surfers Paradise on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

If you are planning on driving then you need to take the Gold Coast Highway north near Surfers Paradise, then follow the signs as it is clearly marked. If coming from Southport you need to cross over the Southport Bridge then take a left turn and follow the signs, again it is well sign posted. Coming from the Pacific Motorway you must take the Smith St exit.

There is free car parking available at the front entrance of Sea World. Special parking areas are also available for disabled drivers, these are located next to the main entrance.

You can also get bus tours and services directly to Sea World from Surfers Paradise, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and most other parts of Queensland. These services run frequently, however it is best to check availability before you decide to travel.
