Both me and my partner had a lots of fun kayaking in the Brisbane River, nice and peaceful, super relaxing😎
As local, we never thought about doing this, but we will definitely come back! Thank you!
Definitely no regrets. The evening was perfect, weather was clear and the people at Riverlife Brisbane were amazing.
Our guide/instructor Lucas was fantastic. He took time to talk through all the safety aspects of what we were about to undertake. When we were in the water, he was always checking in to make sure everyone was ok and not lagging behind.
Great night out, it was so relaxing on the water paddling along at your own pace, watching the boats go by and listening to the music coming from the various night spots along the river.
Great for all ages and fitness levels. Looking forward to doing it again.
My son 14 and I both enjoyed this very much. It was our first time rock-climbing and the staff, Melissa and Daniel were very helpful and supportive every step. We felt safe and encouraged. Kangaroo Point cliffs is a great natural spot and we enjoyed the walk along them, and climbing them to the top. It was a great experience for our confidence, and trust. We had a complimentary hot chocolate and chai latte at the end. We met some lovely people doing it and would go again for sure. I booked through Groupon.
The staff were lovely but Dan our climbing guide was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring everyone was supported and encouraged throughout.
Would highly recommend if you love a challenge!
Lockers, waterproof camera cases (available to rent) and toilets were available to use.
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
