Excellent trip, friendly and helpful staff and good commentary on the river. The koala sanctuary is amazing, you can get really close to the koalas and kangaroos and even the feed the kangaroos. A great day trip for all ages.

This was a great easy way to see a scenic tour of the river and get access to the Koala Sanctuary. Perfect way to tour Brisbane.

It was the best experience. I really enjoyed seeing all the various types of animals. One of the best parts was the Koala moments. Although a separate purchase, it was worth it because you got to pet the koala and learn more about it. You can also take pictures with it. Something else I really enjoyed was the kangaroo area, where you can get up close to the kangaroos and feed them by yourself. Overall, this sanctuary is gorgeous and worth the money. The cruise over was phenomenal as well because you got to see the life of Brisbane through the river. I would recommend it to everyone because it is a one of a kind experience.
