Excellent experience on the Lady Douglas
Easy to find as the Lady Douglas is the only one of its kind in the marine. Great welcome from the skipper and his helper. I didn’t spot the complimentary drink or the lovely snack on booking making it great value. The trip is at a lovely pace not too fast and not too slow. We found a crocodile. Huge monster just resting. My wife then spotted another one on the return leg and was rewarded with a free drink. Great experience and would gladly do again.

Great tour. Lots to see. The introductory scuba dive was about 20-30 minutes. Do also note that you are not allowed to free dive after scuba diving.Except that the scuba diving time was quite short, it was really worth the money as you more or less get to be in finding nemo.

Perfect Brisbane Day!

Brisbane River Cruise with entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
ashleycrane729, Sep 2026
Perfect Brisbane Day!
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.

It was so much fun. We had the best time especially my 9yr old. White Haven beach is to die for. Was a great day! Sasha our skipper and Corbin our host were great! They made our experience full of laughter and fun! They were very knowledgeable about White Haven and very attentive to everyone on board. We will definitely be back!
