What are people saying about Brisbane

Grainne_W, Jul 2026

Three sisters from Ireland visit the Lone Pine.

A most wonderful experience. Unique experience to get so close to kangaroos, emues, and koalas. My personal favourite was the plataplus, a mammal I have been fascinated with since childhood. Denis was so kind and helpful. Everyone was so positive and happy. A sweet day we all will remember forever.

Australia Zoo Day Trip from Brisbane

Ella_O, Jun 2026

Australia Zoo

Bruce was fantastic, super punctual and very nice - he pointed out land marks on the way to the zoo and assisted us in getting through the entry swiftly. He also gave tips of where to go and what time the shows are so we didn’t miss anything fun! I would definitely recommend and 100% do again!

Brisbane Segway Sightseeing Tour

Kelly_S, Jun 2026

Exciting way to see Brisbane!

We saved this activity for last but we should have done it when we first got to Brisbane! Our guide was great and he gave us a great overview of the city and its history. This is a really fast and fun way to see the city. He had so many suggestions of what to see and where to go that it would have been very beneficial to have gone at the beginning of the trip. Now we know a lot of things to do and see on our next visit! We would absolutely recommend this excursion!

Moreton Island Day Trip (Kayak, Snorkel & Sandboard) frm Brisbane or Gold Coast

Liz_S, Jun 2026

GREAT guides!!

Keith, Jacob and Josh were all so welcoming. They made sure everyone was ready and comfortable with each experience. This was my favorite excursion I have done with Viator. Jacob was very personable and got to know us during the day! It was like being with family!! For future adventurers: CLOSE your mouth when going down the sand dunes!!!!

Brisbane Whale Watching Cruise from Redcliffe or Sunshine Coast

Mingrui_S, Jun 2026

A quick tip for this...

A quick tip for this whale-watching trip: take seasickness medication beforehand! I got incredibly seasick and barely saw anything, which was a bummer. However, the silver lining was the crew. Their service was absolutely amazing, especially Loz. A huge thank you to the whole team for taking such wonderful care of me and my mom!

Story Bridge Adventure Climb, Brisbane's #1 Iconic Adventure

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.

North Stradbroke Island WILDLIFE Adventure Tour from Brisbane

Heather_H, May 2026

Worth every penny and more!

This truly was the best way to see the most animals in the wild! Forget zoos and santuaries, see the animals in the wild and sometimes even up close and personal! A kangaroo literally hopped down the beach and right past my daughter as she waded in the waves. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, flying foxes, kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras, and so many other critters and creatures we lost count! Huge thanks to Rob who had an endless supply of fun facts and a music play list that made the drive seem like a bonus karaoke session! He kept us on track on time, safe, and engaged the entire day - and his food recommendations were spot on! I would do this tour over and over again if I was here longer! Thanks Rob for an amazing trip and putting an epic exclamation point on the end of our trip down under!

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary Day Pass

Bruce_S, May 2026

Great experience

We thought we would visit here and spend a couple of hours. Man we're we wrong. We spent all day here and we're thrilled with the visit. We are from the States and seeing these unique animals we've heard about or seen on TV programs was wondeful. From the platypus to the echidna, the wombat to the tasmanian devil, the emu to the cassowary, and, of course, the kangaroo to the adorable koala, we saw them all. It was a wonderful experience! Paying a little more to be actually meet and stroke the soft fur of a koala, Edmund was his name, as well as feeding kangaroos in a free range field was fascinating. It was a very educational AND memorable trip. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Springbrook andTamborine Rainforest Tour Incl Natural Bridge and Glow Worm Cave

FUMI_Y, May 2026

素晴らしい体験ーWonderful experience！

ガイドは素晴らしく、参加者の歩調に合わせて案内してくれた。また、たくさんの野生生物(数種類の鳥、ワラビー、カンガルー、コアラ、蛇)を見つけだして私達に説明してくれた。ただ非英語圏からの参加者のために、もう少しゆっくり話してくれたなら、なお良かったと思う。 The guide was excellent and adjusted the pace to match the participants. They also spotted plenty of wildlife—several species of birds, wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, and snakes—and explained them to us. However, I think it would have been even better if they had spoken a little more slowly for participants from non-English-speaking countries.

Stradbroke Island Eco Day Trip from Brisbane – Wildlife & Beaches

Ken_P, Apr 2026

Amazing Island Tour Wildlife and the Beach

We had a great day exploring Stradbroke Island with our guide Jack. Starting with picking us up at a central Hotel and taking the ferry ride to the island. We took a trail around the the highest points with awesome views and flora and fauna. We then had lunch at our choice of great island restaurants. Then spent the afternoon at the beach. There were 11 people in the group from UK, USA, Italy, Switzerland and Australia. We all got along and had a great time. Jack was courteous, knowledgeable, and entertaining his smile was infectious and made the trip memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. 10/10

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.

Morning Sightseeing Cruise: 10:30am-12pm (90min)

Taylor_F, Jan 2026

Great way to spend your morning!

We booked this as an easy thing to do while in Brisbane. You recieve coffee/tea and scones but there is a bar available to purchase other things as well. I liked that there is commentary as you sail across the river. I found it a little confusing finding the dock but they do recommend you give yourself time to get there for this reason.
