Great Kayak tour! - The tour was awesome. We could enjoy the tour fun and safe thanks to friendly instructor Daniel. The view of brisbane riverside was great and kayaking was exciting. We could also take lots of photos there.

Great day kayaking! - I had a lovely time kayaking. Easy to find, nice walk over bridge to get there, and very friendly/helpful staff. Finished off with a coffee at Joey's Cafe. Highly recommended! :D

Wet and wild! - The rain was heavy when we arrived so we weren't sure we would get on the water, but our guide Hanka didn't hesitate and we really enjoyed our time on the river with her. In many ways the rain and fast flowing river made the experience more magical. Thanks Hanka!

Kayak Experience on the Brisbane River - Initially, I was a bit skeptical about the experience due to the busy river traffic. The ferries created significant wake, and combined with the pouring rain, it felt like the odds were stacked against us.
However, Hanka quickly put my concerns to rest. She assured us that as long as we stayed close to the edges of the river and remained calm, everything would be manageable. Her expertise and calm demeanor really made a difference.
Surprisingly, the weather and wake didn’t take away from the adventure. In fact, the rain added a unique, refreshing touch to the outing. Since it was just the two of us on the tour, the experience felt personal and relaxed—almost like a private tour. Paddling through the iconic Brisbane cityscape in such a tranquil setting was an unexpectedly serene escape from the city’s usual hustle.
Overall, it was a great experience! If you’re looking for a peaceful yet engaging way to explore Brisbane, I highly recommend this tour, rain or shine. Hanka’s guidance truly made the trip memorable.

Superb experience - Lauren hosted my tour. A superb experience and perfectly wrapped up a long 3 weeks at work. The weather was 'lamping it' down, but Lauren's enthusiasm really added to the afternoon, really knowledgeable and informative about the area and kayaking

A new perspective of Brisbane. - Thank you Daniel for a relaxing informative kayak tour up to the maritime museum. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a different perspective of the city. You will get wet so dress accordingly. You can rinse off at the river life facility.

Great Experience - One of the best experiences while staying in Brisbane. I’d highly recommend it if you have a few hours to spend outside. Not only will you master (or perfect) your kayaking skills, but you will also enjoy the stunning views of the city. Of course, I should mention the wonderful crew who made it happen for us. Lauren and Daniel were amazing - the coolest instructors! We felt very safe under their care. They were very competent, very professional, and we really enjoyed our casual chat while kayaking. Meeting them was a very nice personal touch to the whole experience.

Great way to explore Brisbane - What a beautiful way to explore Brisbane on the river! Lauren , our guide, handled the entire process so well from safety reviews to helping us all get into our kayaks. I hardly recommend this place if you want a fun time!

Nice Trip On The River - Professionally run, friendly guide, all equipment looked good. It was a nice little run up the river and we took in some good views over the city, but I think I was just expecting more info about Brisbane and what we were seeing. Our guide was lovely and very capable, but I think we could probably have just hired kayaks and gone by ourselves and got a similar experience.
