What a great day! The river cruise was beautiful and well-narrated and the animal sanctuary was so interesting. I definitely recommend this activity!

Great excursion!!! we thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride up the river to the koala sanctuary, listening to interesting facts about Brisbane along the way. It was nice to see the beautiful homes as well. The sanctuary was absolutely epic loved every minute of it.

Kangaroos up close! Koala was good. Plants obscuring my photos thou. Wouldn’t let me move the leaves. Needed 30 more minutes in the park to go to gift shop. So much to see!

Loved every minute from getting on the boat from start to finish. Captain was very informative on the cruise along with his bit of humour-lovely guy. The Koala sanctuary was amazing, plenty of time to wander around the sanctuary before having to return to the boat.
