Koala Hugs & River Views: Brisbane's Ultimate Day Out

This was great- river cruise was a wonderful and informative way to see more of Brisbane. Loved the sanctuary and the ability to be up close and personal with kangaroos, wallabies, and a koala. Definitely a highlight for this visit. Highly recommend!

Leisurely cruise upriver with excellent explanations. The park is awesome can be done at your peace.

We purchased this trip while visiting Brisbane. The river cruise was excellent with amazing staff and the captain provided an education tour up the river. The sanctuary was great to visit and we managed to see all the Australian animals. I highly recommend this tour.

Great boat river cruise. Narration shared tour information. Koalas at the sanctuary were adorable. Don’t forget to feed the kangaroos.

Brilliant experience from beginning to end - an informative cruise followed by an excellent visit to the Koala Sanctuary where you could get close to Kangaroos and Koalas as well as lots of other animals. There were also really informative talks from the staff about all the animals there which are obviously really well cared for. A really enjoyable experience which I would thoroughly recommend !!

A couple of days before our trip we needed to change our day. This was no problem for the tour operator, they just swapped us to the day of our choice. All of the boat crew were very friendly and helpful, the commentary along the river was very interesting and the Koala Sanctuary was a really good. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Brisbane.

Lovely trip friendly staff. Lovely Koala sanctuary and good access to see all the animals. Highly recommend the trip for all age groups.

This was an incredible experience and very good value for money. The crew were very good and the commentary upstream was very informative. The Koala Sactuary was fabulous, the free Raptor show at 10.30 was excellent, then we moved to the Kangaroo area where they are very gentle and willing to be petted and fed from hand. After that the Koalas were very interesting aided by the talk at 12.30. Plenty of other beasts and birds to see followed by the ride back into Brisbane.

Easy to find the boat, boarding was swift, easy, and on time. Commentary interesting, refreshments available / crew were all very nice - even had sun block in case you forget to bring. Sanctuary is great - very well maintained - lots to see other than the wonderful koalas - kangaroos, birds, and lots of lizards just wandering around, plus many other Australian specialities. We had 3 hours there - I went back to boat after about 2.5 and had a glass of wine - then we headed back - excellent trip.

Boat leaves on time so don't be late. Nice trip and plenty of food and drink options so you don't have to spend time eating at the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is well worth the visit and lots to see. No maps around the place so take a picture on your phone.
