The main novelty is travelling from the road into the water aboard the same vehicle.

The Gold Coast Aquaduck is worth considering if you want a short, family-friendly and unusual sightseeing experience. Its strength is the fun land-and-water format; its main limitation is depth, as this is a light introduction rather than a comprehensive city tour.
