Brisbane Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had a wonderful time! The boat was very clean and comfortable. We have been on several whale watching experiences around the US coasts and this was in the top 2. We saw so many different whales, big down to babies! The weather and seas could not have been better, so if you do not have that, it could change your day but all around you will not be disappointed if you book this tour. I would recommend getting the VIP tickets/seats for easy access to the upper decks and a place to get out of the wind if you want it.

We had Chelsea as a tour guide. She was amazing. The experience is definitely worth it. The view was amazing and we felt safe the whole time. We booked the twilight climb which I highly recommend.

Great tour of Brisbane. Saw sights we had no idea about. Our tour guide was so kind and friendly. We felt very welcomed and safe. Thankyou

A very pleasant cruise on the Brisbane River with great views of the city and lots of historical information. If weather permits, the top deck gives the best views.

The Koala Sanctuary had lots more to see than just the Koalas but they certainly are the highlight of the visit. The cruise was enjoyable as well. A great and reasonably priced tour!

This was the second time on this trip. I had such a great time the first time I went, I took 2 friends for a surprise birthday celebration. Another great day!WOW

I throughly enjoyed the experience I felt safe at all times and the view was spectacular from the top, great present from family

Cheryl was amazing! Loved how she interacted with the people in our small group. She was entertaining as well as informative and treated each one of us like we’re special. She knew everyone’s name, answered questions, placed a lot of humor whenever it was warranted. Loved traveling with a small group in a van. We moved quickly and yet spent enough time at each destination. A perfect way to see the city highlights. Highly recommended

This was a very pleasant river cruise on the Brisbane River. The narration was very informative, and the crew was good humored. The dock is very well located in a great area of activities and restaurants.

This was a wonderful tour. There were so many fantastic whale sightings! The ship was very comfortable, and it was very convenient to add the hotel pickup and drop-off option. We would certainly recommend this! Bring a jacket, and if you take a hat - make sure it's fastened tightly or it will blow off! It was worth bringing layers, polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen! (The VIP area did make it more comfortable.)

This was an excellent tour! The meeting place was pretty easy to locate. The boat was comfortable, the audio guide informative, and the ride (though a bit windy/chilly!) was comfortable and enjoyable. Lone Pine is SUCH a wonderful place to visit. We booked an additional Koala Moment, and it was worth every penny - such a special moment with a koala! And the ride back on the river definitely added a special way to round out the day. We both (mom and adult daughter) would recommend this trip to anyone.

This was such an informative and fun tour! We learned a lot about XXXX brewery and got to sample the different beers at the end. And the lunch package that we added on as part of the tour was delicious. Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable!

This was such a nice experience. Very relaxing, very informative. Beautiful views of the city! And an amazing lunch to top it all off. Definitely a must-do activity while in Brisbane.

We had a fantastic day our guide Aaron was top notch, he was easy to get along with and was extremely well informed about Stradbroke Island, its past history, wildlife and more

Very informative and enjoyable tour.

Aaron provided great communication in planning the trip and made for a fun morning catching fish and seeing dugongs and turtles along the way. I'd recommend for novice and experienced fishermen.
