The view was breathtaking. The guide was super nice, and it was a lot of fun. As a fitness trainer, the pace could have been a bit faster for me, but I think many others in the group worked up a good sweat. It was simply fantastic!

It was a nice trip and a great way to explore the city. Since the description read ‘listening to all sorts of anecdotes about the city’, I kind of expected a bit more info than the few we got. But I loved that our guide Daniel encouraged us to try tricks on the kayak and patiently explained us how to safely navigate the kayak.

We had a small group of six so I was able to chat with the friendly guide as I kayak on the beautiful Brisbane river. I specially like it when he talked about safety precautions and things to do if you flipped over and fall into the water. Had a really fun row and chill night on the water! Great experience

The view from the canoe of the skyline was wonderful. Our humorous guide Daniel safely introduced us to the technique of canoeing and shared many exciting facts about the Brisbane River and its wildlife. It was a great experience. Thanks to Daniel for the tour. We highly recommend it.
