Comfortable, unhurried guided tours designed around you — wheelchair accessible, small groups, hotel pickup, and every detail considered so you can focus entirely on the experience.
Cooee Tours has been creating comfortable, accessible tour experiences for seniors, retirees and over-55s for decades. We understand that the best travel experience is one where every detail has been considered so you never have to worry about logistics, physical challenges or feeling rushed. Our senior tours are designed from the ground up with that philosophy — not retrofitted from standard group tours.
The Gold Coast offers seniors a remarkable blend of experiences — 57km of pristine Pacific coastline, the UNESCO World Heritage Gondwana Rainforest just 45 minutes inland, charming mountain villages, abundant wildlife, and one of Australia's finest arrays of day-tour experiences. Every single Cooee Tours senior experience is designed with comfortable, accessible travel at its core.
Did you know the Gold Coast Hinterland is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Gondwana Rainforest? These ancient forests have existed for over 60 million years and are home to spectacular waterfalls, unique glow worms and breathtaking mountain views — all within 45 minutes of Surfers Paradise, and all accessible on our senior-friendly tours.
Our guides are experienced, patient locals who understand the needs of mature travellers. They know every accessible rest stop, the best café for morning tea, the smooth path to the waterfall viewpoint, and the optimal time to visit each attraction for the most peaceful experience.
