Spectacular views of the Brisbane river and surrounds.
Brisbane River Adventures
If you think Brisbane is just another city overflowing with excellent shopping, superb restaurants and fabulous cultural experiences, think again - get down to the river and experience Brisbane from a different angle. At Riverlife Adventure Centre you can see the city from the rocks, from the water, or on wheels.
Face your fears abseiling down Kangaroo Point’s weathered walls or crawling up them, rock by rock. From a dangling position you will see the city from a new perspective.
Imagine cutting through the darkness on your kayak and gliding silently under the Story Bridge. Whether you are an experienced paddler or it’s your first time on the water, you will be captivated by the city’s charm as the high rise reflections dance playfully in your wake.
So you’re not a cliff-hanger and would prefer to keep your feet firmly on the shore? Start at the beautiful City Botanic Gardens and follow the river north to connect to the floating RiverWalk, over 20km of walking paths along the beautiful Brisbane River. To increase the pace, break out your wheels or hire them (bicycles, rollerblades and kick bikes) from Riverlife Adventure Centre.
Wining and dining on the water is also popular with cruises such as the Kookaburra River Queen offering buffet lunch and dinner cruises, live entertainment, and everchanging views.
Riverlife Adventure Centre: access via the Kangaroo Point steps (off River Terrace) or catch CityCat to the Thornton St Ferry Terminal then follow the signs.

I love the energy and excitement during the day and the lights and atmosphere at night. It's a fantastic and safe place for families. Also, it's always an essential part of my cycling pursuits.

Just taking the river cat up and down the river is a great way to introduce them to Brisbane. It gives them a great overview and most are surprised at how vast and diverse it is.

With the new park to be built on top of the cliffs in the old Kangaroo Tafe area would add value and draw families to a beautiful place. The activities Riverlife offer are tremendous, good for health, relaxation, and fun for the family.

Love the Riverlife centre for activities and as a function venue ... also Fri/Sat nights are great for watching fire-twirlers in the park at the bottom of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs ... and during the day on weekends to learn to rock-climb (or just watch someone else do it!)
