Raj, our instructor, was great. The briefing prior to kayaking told us all we needed to know to get on the water. It was a beautiful evening despite the wind and current, with Raj guiding us safely on the journey.
Would definitely do this again, hopefully with less wind next time.
I would definitely recommend.
He was accommodating to our different skill levels and we were fortunate to have perfect weather
We had an amazing kayaking experience with Georgia! She shared so many fascinating insights about Brisbane along the way, making the tour both fun and informative. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and we felt completely safe the entire time. Highly recommend!
Daniel was a great instructor, with his rugged good looks and amazing life experience 10/10 would recommend
Would be fine if groups were smaller (5max) or there were more ropes and instructors.
Thanks Will.
Our tide time adventure was around past the The Story Bridge and back to Riverlife. The bridge structure was epic to see from water level looking up. Thoroughly enjoyed the paddle on the Brisbane River. Post paddle beverage was good too. Thanks Alex for a great adventure!
Also tried the abseiling and it was such a thrill! Perfect for anyone looking for something exciting!
FYI- I thought it would be easier to go around the town on the bikes, but with construction and lots of traffic (both people and cars) we ended up sticking to the bike path.
I recommend it to everyone!! Cheers
Highly recommend!
