Step by Step
Discover the Gold Coast from the water with the Hopo sightseeing ferry, a relaxed and scenic way to connect the region's most interesting sights. Throughout your day, you'll alternate between cruising the canals and strolling along the shore, changing from stop to stop as you please.
The tour takes you first to the Sea World Cruises Terminal, an ideal starting point if you're coming from Main Beach. From there, the ferry moves on to HOTA (Home of the Arts), where you can mingle art, culture and seascape before boarding again. Every institution and attraction is a short walk from the pier.
One of the great things about Hopo is that you don't need to book in advance or download a special app - just present your digital pass. Plus, transport is sustainable, with boats designed to minimise the impact on the aquatic environment.
If you're looking for luxury on the high seas, the Marina Mirage stop puts you next to exclusive yachts and boutiques. Prefer a quieter plan? Broadwater Parklands offers ample green space, playgrounds and a family-friendly atmosphere that contrasts with the elegance of Marina Mirage.
End your day wherever you feel like it, or simply wait for the next ferry to return. With a day pass in hand, the Gold Coast is at your fingertips, with no fuss or rigid schedules.
