Your hour-long adventure begins with a city tour of Surfers Paradise, and continues waddling along the beautiful Gold Coast beaches and up to the luxe Versace and Marina Mirage Resorts. Feel the thrill as you splash into the Broadwater aboard your amphibious duck and see the city from the coastline to the water.
