What you can expect

Offering a convenient departure point right from the heart of the city, this popular Brisbane River Cruise has been taking visitors to the popular Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for over 70 years. There is no better way to travel to the largest Koala sanctuary in the world than with a comfortable boat ride along the Brisbane River that will take you right to a disembarking point on the shores of the park. The perfect way to get up close and see eye to eye with Australia's huge range of native creatures while also enjoying the many sights and sounds of Brisbane's most attractive waterfront suburbs which are accessible only by boat.

You'll gain the benefits of an entertaining narrated journey from the experienced, entertaining and knowledgeable captain and see breathtaking modern mansions and historic Queenslander homes along Brisbane's exclusive riverfront. Upon arriving at Lone Pine, you'll have two and a half hours to explore the sanctuary where you'll be able to hand feed kangaroos and emus, check out the rare and shy platypus swimming, see amazing birds of prey.

Combining great sights with great attractions, this package is great for those looking to explore one of Brisbane's best animal attractions while also enjoying a relaxing and scenic cruise along Brisbane's famed river.

The staff on the cruise were very friendly & helpful.

My 3-year-old niece from the UK had a fabulous day, experiencing kangaroos & koalas! Great day out for the kids. The only disappointment was that we were unable to hold a koala. The cruise staff were really helpful and assisted us with the stroller on & off of the boat.

Recommend highly. Great price for relaxing day out

We had our relos from England here and booked this trip. The boat ride down the river was fantastic with the added commentary. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was great. The boat to go back to Brisbane was was well organised and expectations set out so you knew when you had to be back to boat from sanctuary Great trip.

Great day out and lovely scenic , informative way to get to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where you can lunch surrounded by koalas, see eagles/owls up close, lots of birds and plenty of active koalas and more. Plenty of time to see everything, including photo with a koala.
