Flights to Australia

Sea World is located on the Queensland Gold Coast and is definitely the oldest coastal strip’s theme park, having been started in 1958 as the Surfers Paradise Ski Gardens at Carrara and soon after it was renamed and moved to Sea World Drive in 1971.

It is a gallery of marine life wonders and a park where you can enjoy a large amount of rides, shows and other attractions.

Water skiing and Dolphin Shows

For many years its showcase event has been the waterski show where water skiers complete acrobatic tricks and tricks. Then there is the dolphin show where dolphins swim about, do well rehursed jumps, and generally take pleasure in showing off.

Shark Bay

One of its newest attractions is Shark Bay (which is not to be compared with Shark Bay in Western Australia) where not only can you view sharks swimming about but you are able to swim with the sharks also.

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 at Sea World Drive, The Spit, Main Beach, it is just over 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, and 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.
