I'm Japanese! I'm on a family trip to Australia! My parents are golfing, and I joined this tour alone, getting picked up from the Gold Coast. Many of the participants were English speakers, and everyone was speaking English. I can't speak English at all, but I managed with the Felo translation app, gestures, and intuition! 😂 There was another person who joined alone, and I kayaked with them (the only paired activity). I powered through that too! Honestly, I was super anxious and nervous, but I think I'll stop being nervous partway through! Nearly 20 people participated, and I exchanged Instagrams with two of them. I probably won't see most of these people again, so don't be unnecessarily nervous, just go for it! ^^

Was a very smooth ride on the river and learned a lot from the recording about the history of the land. We saw so many koalas and other animals too! Would recommend :)

This was my first snorkeling experience, and I had a wonderful time. Before we set off, a questionnaire was given to each traveler to assess their swimming and diving experience. Since I don't know how to swim and had no prior snorkeling experience, I tried snorkeling under the guidance of our leader, Yuji. Throughout the process, I deeply appreciated Yuji's meticulousness and attention to detail; he explained all the safety precautions very clearly. As for the food on the island, I personally found it delicious, and the other facilities and environment were kept very neat and clean (especially the restrooms, which had no unpleasant odors at all). This was truly a fantastic trip. Thank you, Yuji, for your encouragement, which helped me successfully unlock snorkeling.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Many thanks to Tania, our amazing tour guide. She was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable and memorable. The Natural Bridge, rainforest, and glow worms were absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you, Tania, for such a great day! 💝

It was easy to follow the instructions on Klook for using the Airtrain and the MRT to get to the Gold Coast from Brisbane International Airport. Unfortunately, at that time, there was a problem with the train, so I took a bus to Rome Street, then took the train to Helensvale on the Gold Coast. Apart from that, the travel was okay. I recommend this kind of transportation for those who are not in a hurry.

Avoid the inconvenience of transferring on public transportation (especially since I had two checked bags and a large backpack), and arrive directly at the Gold Coast. Plus, the driver will call out each stop according to the reservation, so you don't have to worry about missing your stop! It's a truly convenient way to travel.

Seamless and much cheaper than an Uber! Super easy transition from International arrivals—just take the lift up to the Airtrain platform. They scanned my Klook voucher smoothly, and I was on my way. It’s definitely the most cost-effective and hassle-free way to get into Brisbane City.

What to know before visiting Brisbane

Best Places to Visit in Brisbane

Howard Smith Wharves

This riverside dining precinct under the Story Bridge is full of restaurants, breweries, and bars with great views of the Brisbane River. It’s one of the best places to grab dinner or sunset drinks.

South Bank Parklands

The heart of Brisbane’s cultural scene, South Bank has gardens, markets, and swimming areas like Streets Beach, plus museums and theaters nearby. It’s perfect for families or anyone looking to relax by the river.

Queensland Museum & Science Centre

A must-visit for history and science lovers. It has fun, interactive exhibits for all ages and gives a great look into Queensland’s culture and wildlife.

West End Neighborhood

Known for its creative vibe, West End is full of cafés, vintage stores, and street art. It’s a great spot to hang out with locals and grab coffee or brunch.

City Botanic Gardens

Located right in the city centre, the Botanic Gardens are an oasis of green space and walking trails. You can relax under the palm trees or join a free guided tour.

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Visit the world’s oldest and largest koala sanctuary, where you can hold a koala, feed kangaroos, and learn about Australian wildlife.

Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha

These gardens sit at the base of Mount Coot-tha and are one of the best green spaces in the city. You can explore themed areas like the Japanese Garden, Tropical Dome, and native plant sections. It’s a great place to learn about local plants.

Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC)

Tips for Visiting Brisbane

1. Book Airtrain Tickets Online

When you land at Brisbane Airport, the Airtrain is the quickest way to reach the city centre. Book online to save money and catch trains that leave every 15–30 minutes.

2. Use a Go Card for Public Transport

You don’t need a car to get around. The TransLink network of buses, trains, and ferries makes it easy to explore the city and suburbs. Some routes, like the Blue CityGlider, even run all night on weekends.

3. Reserve Popular Restaurants Early

Brisbane’s food scene is booming, with top spots like Gauge, Same Same, and Hôntô often booked out. Make reservations a week or two in advance, especially for dinner on weekends.

4. Plan a Day Trip to North Stradbroke Island

Known locally as “Straddie,” this island is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing on quiet beaches. You can reach it via ferry from Cleveland, about an hour from the city.
