the river is even better when it is running clean!
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.

A trip on the Brisbane River provides a different perspective of the city and suburbs. Even better in a kayak at your own pace.

As part of a team building day with my work, we did the Kangaroo cliffs ab sailing with River Life. It is probably not something I would have gone out and done my self - But I am so glad I did. The view at Sunset over our beautiful city of Brisbane was amazing itself, and to achieve the absail first time was exhilarating!

Whenever we have friends or relative visit Brisbane, this is a must do. This cruise puts a very different perspective on Brisbane with views from the water that are continually changing. The secret about this trip is that you don't have to go far to enjoy Queensland and showcasing Brisbane to others is easy.

We went on the Kookaburra Ricer Queens for a Sunday lunch and it was the perfect setting. Excellent fresh food, great live bands and a grand old boat. What more could you ask for?
