Key bus services include Route 777, offering a limited-stop journey to Broadbeach South tram station. From there, easy transfers to the G:link service for Surfers Paradise, Southport, and other bus routes are available. This service runs every 15 minutes, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm.

Buy it right at the airport. And lastly — if you prefer a direct ride, taxis await just outside the terminal.
