  • 5Adventure on the water

    Excellent from start to finish. Communication was great, venue easy to locate. Instructor Henka was thorough, patient and very reassuring. Kayaks were very stable and easily moveable in the water. we would highly recommend this activity to see a unique perspective of Brisbane CBD from the river.

  • 5Try it!

    It was a lovely day to be on the 'brown snake'—the Brisbane River. The guide was very nice and gave a clear briefing. For me, as a complete beginner at kayaking, it was very easy to do. The ride was the perfect length, not too long, not too short. We went underneath the Story Bridge, so now I've seen that bridge from every possible angle. Climbing to the top the other day was also awesome!

  • 5fun time on the river!

    Noah was an excellent guide! Very clear instructions and informative and very knowledgeable on riparian topics. He had excellent communication skills and was super friendly. The sunset kayak tour was so relaxing and showcased the CBD beautifully - kayaks and equipment were in excellent condition - would highly recommend this tour.

About Brisbane

Brisbane is Queensland's riverside capital, a sunny subtropical city of parklands, galleries, a koala sanctuary and ferries on a looping river.

Brisbane winds along the bends of its river, with the centre on a peninsula and suburbs climbing the hills on either side. It began as a convict settlement in the 1820s, and the Old Windmill on Wickham Terrace and the Commissariat Store survive from that time. Today sandstone, glass towers and leafy streets stand together, and the Story Bridge, finished in 1940, spans the river beside the city.
