5.00We had a great twilight paddle along the river and saw the city from a different perspective. Lucas was our instructor and he was very attentive, and even let me speak French with him! Thank you Lucas.
A great night on the Brisbane River.

5.00I took my mum for Mother’s Day and it was the best experience ever! The instructor was great adapting the pace for all levels of fitness of the group which was nice and small. Lots of friendly discussions were had while looking at the night lights as the sun sets over our beautiful city. On completion they had a wonderful Mexican theme table set up with our cocktails and burritos ready to go! Highly recommend for all ages.
Wasn’t that great?

2.00This experience was a gift to my friends and to be honest, I was disappointed. We didn’t even get to paddle to the first bridge toward Southbank. There were 2 in the group of 11 that, a) were late, b) were not wearing appropriate clothing and c) couldn’t paddle, so our one guide had to give all his attention to them. This meant the rest of us were doing circles waiting for them. The event seemed to be under staffed. The burrito meal afterwards was not great. When my friends previously did this twilight paddle with wine & grazing board after, they had raved about it. This current experience in comparison was very average.

5.00We received the twilight kayak tour as a gift and it was such a great experience. Even though we live in Brisbane, it was beautiful to be on the river at this time to see the city come to life. Our guides Gieran and Lucas were excellent. They were friendly and ensured everyone's safety at all times and also provided some interesting facts about the history of the river. In fact all the staff, from booking over the phone, through to the staff on the desk on the night were very pleasant to deal with. The Mexican food was delicious and the wine and beer went down a treat rounding off a very enjoyable evening. Keep up the good work.

5.00What a fun thing to do for our group of 5. We were blessed with perfect weather - despite it being May, it was not cold at all. You must be prepared to get wet... one of our team capsized. It was all part of the experience - despite being wet, she was not cold - too much adrenaline! It was beautiful kayaking under the Story Bridge, and viewing the city lights from the river. We all had a fabulous time, and were well looked after by Matt.

5.00Everyone from the front desk to the kayak guides were lovely and helpful going above and beyond to make the night comfortable and fun. The food was delicious (we had the vegan grazing boards) and it was a lovely evening out. I highly recommend it.
