North Stradbroke Island WILDLIFE Adventure Tour from Brisbane

Kelly_G, Aug 2026

Excellent experience

This exceeded my expectations. I was looking forward to a relaxing day of being out in nature, maybe seeing some wildlife. We saw lots of wildlife along with amazing scenery. Our tour guide, Rio, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, kind, and made sure everything ran smoothly. There was plenty of time on our own as well and the people on the tour with me were great. I highly recommend it.

Bruce was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as keeping us fully informed about things like meeting points and toilet stops. On the drive between the stops he told us lots of interesting facts about the region. All of the places we visited were great.

Brisbane River Cruise with entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Anindita_B, Aug 2026

Overall the experience...

Overall the experience was very good with the boat providing free wifi, blankets and table service. However due to a shortage of ceramic cups we were unable to enjoy our hot drinks on the way to the sanctuary and so had to wait for cups to become available on our journey back. To mitigate this maybe have more cups/disposable options. The commentary on the boat was clear and informative. The time they gave us to spend in the sanctuary was adequate and was definitely worth the visit.

Jillian_S, Jun 2026

Much easier than you think.

Best guide ever! Ethan (?) was great and very enjoyable to listen to. He kept a good eye on the group, gave lots of fun facts, and was very personable. The team double-checked our gear before we headed out providing me with extra safety assurance. I’d do it again…. And yes, heights do make me nervous.

Diana_E, Feb 2026

That the historical...

That the historical commentary was very informative and interesting. The weather can mean it can be very windy on the river. I would have liked more detailed information on how to find the Pontoon. I did not see any public signage and had to ask for directions, which were not accurate. I nearly missed the cruise.
