Things to do in Brisbane

The river cruise is good as we could hear a lot of history about Brisbane. Lone Pine is a small zoo and we spent only 3 hours there. We paid AUD$35 each person for the koala moment but we only had a few minutes encountering a koala.

The experience was fantastic! The itinerary is well-organized, and I was grateful that the sequence of the activities (sandboarding, kayaking, snorkelling) I was assigned to was perfect because the sand, sweat, and sunscreen were washed off during the snorkelling, haha. We had an early lunch, before noon. The DIY wrap was quite filling, so don't worry about whether you have the strength to play, haha.

Cam, our driving instructor, was really nice and patient. it was a surreal experience and the good was also great. Staff took great care of us all. A few points to note, too many people on the boat with many we has to take turns getting into the choppy ocean after lunch. Not really an ideal dive option. Secondly the evening tea should have had the pastries rather than morning as we were all getting ready to dive into the ocean, so food wasn’t on our minds…

North Stradbroke Island is so beautiful! Rob was nice, funny and tried his best to locate the wild life animals for us. We saw one humpback whale, many kangaroos, and some koalas. Trust me, the experience of looking for animals in the wild was wonderful!

Had a seamless transfer and a great day out at Australia zoo! Got to feed some kangaroos and also pet a snake and a koala! It was a good day!

Having purchased tickets in advance, our entry was smooth and efficient, which was great. Inside the park, all the staff were friendly, making our visit very pleasant. The kangaroo area was very spacious and open, which was wonderful, but it was a shame we couldn't find where to buy food to interact with them. The sheer number of koalas was impressive, and their cuteness was as expected. A unique highlight was seeing a platypus, and watching it swim was a great experience. The gift shop had a good variety of cute souvenirs, and the park offered high-speed Wi-Fi, making communication easy and allowing us to navigate smoothly using the browser-based map. If I have the chance to visit Brisbane again, I would definitely like to go back.

There's a minibus shuttle. Upon arrival, you first register and purchase photos and videos. They only accept credit cards there. Then wait for your name to be called; your English name will be displayed on the screen. The instructors will help us put on safety gear and then watch a video to learn about landing. After that, you get on a small plane and descend for 10 minutes in the middle of the sea. There's no G-force, but it's super windy, which can be scary for the first jump. After jumping, you can relax and enjoy the scenery. The parachute opens quickly, allowing you to see the scenery for a bit longer. The return bus only leaves after everyone has jumped. You might have to wait until noon to go back.

The pass was easy to purchase. Got the Australia pass (2 activities). Definitely, had to plan ahead and 2 activities that are worth more than the cost of the pass. convenience:10 ease of redemption:10 activity inclusions:10

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Brisbane. We joined the twilight climb, and my daughter and I were the only Asians in our group, which made the experience even more unique. Our climb leader, JASPER, was outstanding—professional, humorous, and incredibly attentive. His clear safety briefing made everyone feel confident, and throughout the climb he shared fascinating stories about the Story Bridge while ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. JASPER also took wonderful photos for us at every scenic stop, giving us memories we will treasure forever. Reaching the summit and overlooking the Brisbane River and the stunning city skyline was breathtaking. Watching the golden sunset as the moon slowly rose was a magical moment that words can hardly describe. It is a memory my daughter and I will cherish forever. I highly recommend the Story Bridge Adventure Climb, especially the twilight session. Thank you, JASPER, for making this adventure so special and unforgettable!
