About
Experience the true magic of the Gold Coast as you and your partner or friends cruise in style aboard your own private luxury gondola while cruising through our majestic canals. You will be serenaded by soft romantic background music as you glide smoothly through the sheltered canals of Main Beach and Surfers Paradise, past the multi-million dollar waterfront mansions of the rich and famous and their equally expensive and lavish motor yachts. So whether you are looking for the ultimate in Romance and Magic or are merely wanting to sit back and enjoy the experience of a lifetime, nothing will come close to the Luxury, Ambiance and Setting of a Gold Coast Gondola cruise. Cruises are available daily from 9:00 AM on either an un-catered (without meals) basis or on a catered basis (Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner) with Main courses and/or Desserts.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a fantastic time, did the 1.5 hour trip with dinner, there were four of us and 2 little doggies that also came for the ride. The food was excellent, supplied by a local restaurant we had a mixture of hot and cold foods and dessert. We brought 2 bottles of bubbly that was just right for 1.5 hrs but if you did the 2hr ride you might need 3😉. The Gondola we had for 4 persons could have sat 6 they were decked out beautifully with lamb skin rugs, champagne buckets with ice, champagne glasses , great mix of music that we could control the volume of and had a really authentic feel to it. I love the way they sit low in the water. We went at 5.30pm when it was still light and enjoyed checking out the boats in the marina and the flash waterfront buildings. On the way back it was dusk, we saw the sunset and the lights of the city, a truly beautiful experience. Would make a great present for someone who has everything. Can’t say enough about the owners and their hospitality. Booking was easy, lovely friendly people who couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great time. Will definitely be doing this again, a must try experience while on the “Goldy”.

All I can say is, this exceeded any expectations I had for the afternoon. When we arrived we were met by a great guy (sorry I don't recall his name)who was ready to take us for our trip.
The driver gave a quick safety briefing and a couple of very easy ground rules and left us to get underway, we didn't hear from him until we returned to the office which gave us a great opportunity to relax.
The small things make the difference....glassware and ice bucket ready to go. The soft seat covering and blankets ready to keep us warm were welcomed.
The driver took all the care he could when navigating the wash from other vessels to ensure a smooth trip.
We can't speak highly enough of the guys at Gold Coast Gondolas, this is the greatest idea for a date night with that someone special.
Thanks guys

We had an amazing 1 and ½ hour Gondola Cruise for our party of 4 on the Nerang River from the famous Main Beach. A fantastic experience with Taryn & Mike providing professional excellent service from start to finish. The Gondola was clean, comfortable, with wine glasses & ice bucket provided, so we just sat back and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. A must do attraction on the Goldie for visitors and locals!

After 7 years living on the canal and seeing the gondolas pass our home at day and at night we finally went on a perfect Gold Coast day. The 1 1/2 hour trip was smooth and we indulged in a fruit and cheese platter and wine. The staff where very friendly, the fruit and cheese platter was fresh and the wine chilled. We will definitely be going again and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone as a must do.

The cruise is just amazing, wonderful dinner to enjoy while cruising down the canals. We certainly covered a large area and enjoyed the variety in the scenery. The time we chose was fantastic going from the light of day to the evening and the night lights of the Gold Coast made it so good.

Wow! What a wonderful night. Service was extremely welcoming and relaxed on arrival. Food was divine and this experience on New Years Eve was one of the best Goldcoast had to offer to bring in the new year. Thank you to the team at Goldcoast Gondalas who provided an amazing atmosphere and went above and beyond to make our night certainly one to remember. (Especially our Captain) Would recommend a bucket list experience for sure. The fireworks on the water was just the icing on the cake for us.

Every year on our anniversary we do the Dinner cruise. Once again we had the most romantic beautiful night ever last night! We were blessed with a lovely hot night, the water was as still as a pond and the ambience was spectacular. We always choose the 2 hour cruise which is the perfect amount of time. I prepare and bring my own cheese platter and champagne and chocolates for dessert. We always order the dinner which is delicious (and stays warm covered with foil until we are ready to eat). I had the vegetarian fettuccine (to which I added our home grown chilli) and it was delicious!! We truly live in paradise and this is one of our favourite things to do 😊

A magical evening celebrating our anniversary. The gondola was just gorgeous and so comfortable. The seafood platter was enormous and delicious. Thank you Jason (our gondolier) and the staff at Gold Coast Gondolas for making our evening so memorable.

Good food, gondola is exceptionally well with detail.
However on this night I had organised to propose to my lovely girlfriend. All set. The whole bloody 1.5 hour cruise all we heard was the idiot guy on the back talking on his mobile phone. Talking over the music so loudly, extremely unprofessional and disappointing.
Ruined night and ruined experience.
I am so angry at how someone can be so ignorant.
Hopefully this company can contact me and offer me a refund to make this right!
