What are people saying about Brisbane

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

karen_H, Oct 2026

Awesome tour

Awesome day out. Pickup gold coast 5.45am. Arrived on the island about 9.30am by the time we went to brisbane, picked up the rest of the tour, then drove to the port (the ferry is 1.5 hours). Sandboarding, snorkeling and kayaking were all great. All guides were fantastic. Lunch was good. Arrived back at surfers paradise at 6.30pm so it is a long day but its definitely worth it. Thanks so much team.

Australia Zoo Day Trip from Brisbane

Susan_S, Oct 2026

I was given bad info...

I was given bad info about closest place to my hotel to meet the tour. Could literally have walked a couple blocks instead of spending $$$ on an Uber to a farther meet point. Zoo is beautiful and worth seeing. Driver/Steve had great information stories on ride there and back.

North Stradbroke Island WILDLIFE Adventure Tour from Brisbane

naomicolburn, Oct 2026

Great day tour of North Stradbroke Island

A really great day out to North Stradbroke Island, there was a lot packed into the day but the pace always felt leisurely, never rushed. The tour guide, Pete was fantastic from start to finish, he was professional, organised, knowledgeable and friendly and had so much interesting information which really enhanced the day. The scenery was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see turtles, dolphins, kangaroos, wallabies and koalas in their natural habitats. I would thoroughly recommend this tour, a really great, full day out.

Brisbane River Cruise with entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Diane_W, Oct 2026

This is a nice, easy way...

This is a nice, easy way to get to the Koala Sanctuary! There's no need to find a car or bus to take you there, as this is a dedicated, round trip river cruise which is also quite pleasant and informative. There's food and drink on board, and the ride is over an hour. The only small drawback is that most of the available animal shows on the property are already over when you reach Lone Pine. Your time on the property (about 3 hours) is spent walking through the many animal viewing areas, and you can book an "up close and personal" visit with a koala, or spend time in the interactive kangaroo area, feeding the many snoozing roos and joeys. All in all, it's a pleasant way to spend a day! You'll also arrive back at the public dock by around 3pm, with time left to go exploring the city!

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary Day Pass

Lynn_C, Oct 2026

Nice to see the iconic animals up close!

This was so awesome! We got to walk right up to the kangaroos. The koala experience was good too, we got to pet Jethro a 6 year old Koala. It was so nice to see the animals and not in cages. It was easy to get to and everyone there was so nice. I would definitely come back if in Australia again. Definitely recommend!

Cruise to Lunch Package: 10:30am – 2pm (3.5hr)

Myron_S, Oct 2026

It was a perfect way to...

It was a perfect way to start our vacation in Australia! We arrived in Brisbane at 6:00 am , so the relaxing cruise was perfect! We met many people and had great conversations with them! The cruise was informative and the meal was a perfect combination of great food and local beer and drinks! Thank you for a memorable event!

Springbrook andTamborine Rainforest Tour Incl Natural Bridge and Glow Worm Cave

Kristi_W, Oct 2026

It was amazing to see Australia’s wildlife plus its beautiful nature.

James did a great job of getting us safely to each site and telling us a lot about Brisbane and the area, very friendly guy, but he went above and beyond by looking for wildlife for us at each stop plus while driving on the road. We saw wild kangaroos, wallabies, and even a koala and her joey! It was amazing!

Moreton Island & Tangalooma Wrecks Snorkel Cruise - Brisbane

Melissa_S, Sept 2026

Must do day trip!

This was a wonderful day trip that we did. Only a 20 minute ride to get to the marina from Brisbane CBD. It was a spontaneous thing we wanted to do and this company was the only one available that I could find to book the day of (literally 2 hours before departure) - thanks for that! Shoutout to the captain and all the crew that was there on Sept 20th. It was a beautiful day so the ride there and back was very smooth. Everything was so well organized from the safety checks, getting grouped up, getting the gear we needed, and getting us to the island. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the food buffet was good! The guided snorkel around the wrecks was fun - we were able to spot a shark and turtle along with so many fish and the visibility was good. We were able to spot starfish when we had our time on the beach. On the way back we were also able to see a dugong and dolphins! It was overall a great experience and I highly recommend doing this trip with this company. Thanks again!

Brisbane: Story Bridge Adventure Climb

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.

Sunset City Lights Cruise: 5.30pm (Winter) or 6pm (Summer) 90min

John_W, Mar 2026

Beautiful trip alone the Brisbane River.

Great cruise, absolutely beautiful. The captain stopped and turned the boat at several points to give everyone a great view. The crew was super friendly and the cheese plate was more than generous. Great value for the money!!! And yes, I would go again.

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.
