Things to do in Brisbane

Enjoy a brewery experience with a lot to offer! The tour guides are funny and engaging, providing insight into the brewery's history and operations. At the end of the tour, you'll have the opportunity to sample some beers. The brewery is located in Milton and is easily accessible by train or bus. If you're visiting Brisbane, this is a great attraction to check out!

The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is incredibly easy to get to by bus. I was able to catch the free raptor show, which was fantastic and definitely worth seeing. Getting up close to the kangaroos was amazing. If you love koalas, the "Koala Moment" event is a must-see. It was a truly magical experience.

The day before the activity, you will receive an email from the travel agency informing you of the meeting time and location. Upon check-in, the travel agency staff will collect the ferry fee (AUD 80 per person, payable in cash or by credit card on-site) and attach a colored sticker to your hand (there are four colors in total for this group, with approximately 20 to 30 people per color). The trip from the Gold Coast to Brisbane takes about an hour. After picking up another group of passengers in Brisbane, the bus will head to the ferry terminal to board a 90-minute ferry to Moreton Island. The scenery on the island is beautiful! After disembarking, two color groups will head to the desert first, one color group will go to the beach for snorkeling, and one color group will go to the beach for kayaking. There will be a brief explanation of how to put on the equipment and a safety briefing on the shore. Kayaks are for two people. When the kayak slides next to the Tangalooma Wrecks, the instructor will distribute flatbreads to each boat. When the flatbread is thrown into the water, the fish will come over to eat. Because the kayak is transparent, you can clearly see the fish underwater, which is a very special experience. After kayaking, everyone will put on the same equipment and be taken in groups of six on a small boat with a floating board to the Tangalooma Wrecks. Put your head down and put your goggles in the water, and you can see many, many small fish swimming around. Getting up close and personal with marine life is really fun. The snorkeling equipment is very complete, so you don't have to worry about getting cut by the reefs. After playing in the water, there will be a 20-minute lunch break. It's a buffet, and the table will have flatbreads, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, meat and various sauces, so you can make your own tacos. There will be cold drinking water and sunscreen available next to the table. After eating, a large bus will take you to the desert area for sandboarding. The bus will play enthusiastic music, which is a special experience with the shaking of the bus. I was originally worried that my hair would be wet from playing in the water and that I would easily catch a cold on the long journey back to the Gold Coast, but I didn't expect my hair to be almost dry after sunbathing in the desert. After arriving in the desert, the leader will distribute a wooden board to each person. Everyone takes their own board to the sand dune and then slides down on the board. Each person will have 1-2 chances, and then take the bus back to the ferry boarding area. The bus will provide ice water for you to fill your own water bottles. After returning to the Tangalooma Wrecks, you can play in the water again. After the single-ticket passengers and vehicles have boarded the ferry, the group-ticket passengers can board. Because the group ticket price is lower, it is basically difficult to find a seat with a table when boarding. But after playing all day, you will be hungry on the boat, so if possible, you can prepare and bring your own fruits, biscuits, and other foods that can be eaten without a table, so you won't be hungry while watching others eat. Drinking water is not provided on the boat, so you must also prepare enough drinking water. In addition, because this is a tourist attraction visited by travelers from all over the world, you should also pay special attention to cultural differences. Some white cultures may use multiple bags and place them on multiple benches, which means that these benches may be used by someone in their group later. This is different from Chinese culture, where one item represents one person. Be careful not to sit on chairs that have already been reserved by someone else, otherwise you may easily get yelled at, since white people are still the majority on the boat.

Purchased 2 activity tour for puffing billy train, heasville and Yarra choloaterie as well as Phillip island, moonlit sanctuary, nobbies and Brighton beach boxes day tours. The tours were guided by 2 different company. Both guides were knowledgeable and multi tasked as a driver and photographer too. Redemption was fuss free. Sufficient time was provided at each stop to allow us to take photos or have meals. There were some cost savings compared to booking them individually. Recommend to purchase the pass depending whether the activities listed are places you planned to go.

A must-experience snorkeling trip 🤩👏🏻 It's easy to take a boat to Modeng Island, enjoy the sun and beach, experience snorkeling, and witness many marine life including dolphins and turtles! The boat company also provides pick-up and drop-off services in the city, which is suitable for families and tourists who do not rent a car. The yacht is very new and large. There are also some refreshments to enjoy and some cold lunch platters when boarding. Snorkeling activities are conducted in groups. Under the guidance of professionals, we experienced nearly 45 minutes of snorkeling near the shipwreck area! Highly recommended 😍 (I even thought it was too short). Along the way, our instructors will also explain to us and help everyone find different marine life! Very worth a try!

The tour was definitely worth the money. We had Rio as our guide for the day, he was very informative in terms of providing brief history of the site visits and recommendations for lunch spots, including gelato spot for that sweet tooth fix. Would definitely highly recommend

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.

watching the sunset and stargazing are two highlights of this tour. tour guide Michael prepared for us a picnic dinner and a telescope. we could see the moon, jupitor, star clusters and nebula.

it's sad that the photos could only be taken by the guide and we could only capture the amaing sight by eyes. But the guide is super informative and introduce well about the Brisbane geography and the fun facts and history related to the story bridge. Worth trying! Good safety and stable equipment.
