★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,522 reviews · from $82Our pick

Take a Brisbane River cruise to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, with captain commentary and 3 hours to meet koalas, kangaroos, and more.

“The boat was clean and the crew were friendly and helpful. The onboard cafe bar was well stocked with good service. The commentary for the outward journey was clear and interesting. Plenty of time was allowed to walk around the sanctuary and buy refreshments. The sanctuary staff were also friendly and knowledgeable. The return journey had no commentary (same route in reverse so unnecessary) and the cruise was leisurely and relaxing. We all enjoyed this trip”

She helped to bring us to other locations as we are a small group of 4, naturally the tour ended early. It would have been good if more time is given for the sightseeing. Well done, Tania! Thanks for taking us around.”
