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

Lovely day - nice tour on the river & then the sanctuary & then lovely tour back. Boat was lovely & clean & had a cafe on board!

Wonderful time on the boat as it sailed along the Brisbane River. We were provided with lots of information about the river and the scenery we were seeing. Many beautiful homes along the river as well. The Koala Sanctuary was awesome. We saw koalas, kangaroos, platypus, dingoes and many other animals native to Australia. They have a few gift shops as well as a food area on the property. Overall great experience just wish it wasn’t so hot that day.

Fun day trip. Lots of koalas. Feeding the kangaroos should be done as early as possible because they are uninterested in the afternoon. This was the highlight of Brisbane as there is not much to do in the city

Informative commentary en route to the Koala Sanctuary. Excellent guides and staff once there. Many different animals to see. Koalas are well cared for. Pre-book an experience. Tour timing is good.

This was very enjoyable. We did the morning trip that left at 9am. We had 75mins or so on the boat which had pre recorded commentary which was interesting. The boat has a bar and hot snacks, we had toasted sandwiches which were really lovely and good value. The Captain and his crew were all very friendly and welcoming. We had 3hrs or so at the Sanctuary before embarking to come back. We loved the Sanctuary where all the animals looked well cared for. The kangaroos had plenty of fenced off areas where they could get away from the people when they had had enough, which was great to see. Can recommend this as a half day trip.

It was a lovely trip up the river (and back) and who does not love a koala? Sadly you are not allowed to take them home

Excellent value for money. On board Bar. Bites to eat . Just enough time in the sanctuary. Staff on board friendly and polite . We recommend this as a must do

An excellent trip. Interesting commentary on the way to the koala sanctuary and pleasant trip back. The Koala Sanctuary is excellent. Lots of koalas but other animals too. Well set out. Cafe excellent too. An experience to recommend.

We had a fab time doing this trip. The cruise was comfortable and the commentary very interesting. The staff member were very helpful and professional. Lone pine sanctuary was amazing. This is a great way of visiting lone pine in a really relaxing way. Thank you for a great day.

The cruise was lovely with great staff and amusing commentary. Going through the sanctuary was amazing, even if the nocturnal animals were understandably shy for middle of the day.
