Adventure on the Brisbane River
We had a great trip kayaking on the Brisbane River and testing our skills against the tide and wake from the city ferries. Lucas is a great instructor and was very patient with us being first time paddlers. It was lovely to be on the water and see the river from a different perspective.
Operator response
Thanks for leaving a review! We're glad Lucas helped make your experience a good one—we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him.
Hope to see you on the river or cliffs again soon.

Great fun
Fantastic kayak experience on the Brizzy river. Not too hectic although you better be ready to paddle and enjoy the scenery simultaneously. Highly recommend for the active and adventurous individuals or groups. Value for money & not too difficult to get the hang of for first-timers. Attendees are also very helpful. Definitely would do this again.
Operator response

Great Experience!
We enjoyed a fabulous kayaking tour on the Brisbane River with Mae from Riverlife. Mae had a great sense of humour, we were well looked after and felt completely safe during the tour. The tour was well worth the cost, and the staff at Riverlife were very efficient and helpful. We recommend an early morning tour to avoid the heat of the midday sun - I'm sure the twilight tour would also be a nice time of day to enjoy the river without the humid Brisbane heat.

Many thanks for the great review! :)

A morning on the brown snake. Brisbane.
I had been thinking of this kayak trip for a while, and, when a friend visiting Brisbane suggested it, I said YES!
Booking was easy, communication great and the staff very friendly, informative and caring. Would recommend!

The bike was not well maintained.
Five of us rented five mountain bikes.
At the time of borrowing, I found a broken brake lever and a broken stand, and had them replaced with something else.
When you start running, the chain and gear are not engaged well, and it will rattle with a little effort on the uphill. When you put your full force into it, the chain will come off both the front gear and the back gear. I missed six times between the 9:30 start and the 15:30 return.
The tires were a little deflated, so I couldn't really get up to speed.
I think it would have been a bit more fun if the bike had been well maintained.
Wire locks are available for $4/book. One can lock about three units.

FANTASTIC Kayaking trip.
I had a brilliant trip down the river with Hanka. She was extremely knowledgable about Brisbane, the history and present. Great communication from Riverlife Adventure Centre.
I would definitely recommend.

Great day in Brisbane
Great location and easy to find. We hired two bikes for the day which was good value for money. We went up and down, crossing the bridges with a couple of stops at South Bank, fantastic day
