Brisbane’s South Bank is often considered the city’s cultural and dining heart. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how this area evolved from originally a convict work site and then a rough waterfront of wharves and rowdy pubs into Brisbane’s most loved destination. The tour begins at the Nepalese Peace Pagoda, a remarkable structure hand-carved by 160 Nepalese master craftsmen, entirely without nails or power tools. Along the way you'll encounter some of South Bank’s more whimsical touches, like the upside-down elephant sculpture. You'll have a chance to immerse yourself in the Aussie lifestyle at parklands, beaches, and relaxed outdoor living at places like The Boat Pond, Streets Beach, River Quay Green, and Picnic Island. The tour ends at the historic Plough Inn, where you can enjoy a classic Aussie meal at an iconic and historic pub with live music – and, of course, plenty of cold beer and refreshments.

What are people saying about Brisbane

Karen_W, Jul 2026

A must do!

Australia Zoo is an absolute must-do! The day was well organized, and our driver kept everyone entertained while sharing lots of interesting information along the way. The zoo itself exceeded my expectations, with incredible animal encounters and shows. If you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast or Brisbane, don’t miss this experience!

Enjoyable day trip

We had an excellent day trip from start to finish. The itinerary was well organized, with plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. The scenery was beautiful, and every destination was worth visiting. Our tour guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to answer questions. They shared interesting local history and stories that made the experience even more enjoyable. Transportation was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Overall, it was a relaxing, fun, and memorable tour. I highly recommend this day trip to anyone looking for a well-planned excursion with a fantastic guide. It was truly a wonderful experience.

Brisbane River Cruise with entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

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.

Sunshine Coast Hinterland and Noosa Day Trip from Brisbane Incl Eumundi Markets

Kenton_J, Jun 2026

Sunshine Coast daytrip from Brisbane

Had a great day out. Trip is a little more geared towards the shopping tourist more so than the hiking tourist, but the scenery was beautiful and the Eumundi Market was a pleasant experience with lots of artisinal crafts, food and fresh produce. Highlights for me were the views of the Glass House Mountains and Noosa Beach/Noosa Heads Park. Was a great exposure to what the Sunshine Coast has to offer and made me want to return in the future for a longer stay in the area. Also, Bruce was a great driver and guide.

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 Brisbane City

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!

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.

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

Midday Sightseeing Cruise: 12.30pm-2pm (90min)

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.
