The Gold Coast is just a short one-hour trip from Brisbane. Whether you’re planning a day trip, a weekend away or a business meeting, Greyhound has got you covered, with multiple return coach services from Brisbane to the Gold Coast every day.
There’s so much to see and do on the Gold Coast, making it the perfect destination for a short visit or a longer stay.

From there, you can soak up the sand and surf of the Gold Coast’s seemingly endless strip of beaches; make your way to one of the Gold Coast’s iconic theme parks to ride rollercoasters and meet colourful wildlife; or escape to the Gold Coast Hinterland, with its easy walking tracks, delightful picnic areas and stunning waterfalls.
Our coaches also make multiple direct trips every day to Coolangatta, renowned for its pristine waters and laid-back beach culture. Connected trips from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta are also available.
Naturally, you’ll want to bring your surfboard – and we’ve got plenty of room for it in our oversized luggage bins, so it can stay with you the whole time.
