Great day out - Our tour guide Mitch was very informed about the journey that we were taking down the river, provided an excellent how to guide for how to get back into the boat if you fell in which came in useful when my partner ended up in the water, great atmosphere and a unique experience to do while in Brisbane

So much fun! - There were maybe 10 people total for our group. Instructor Alex was very knowledgeable about how to get into the kayak, how to adjust the life vest, what to do if you happen to flip, and most importantly, how to get back into the kayak if an impromptu swim happens. Everyone stayed in their kayaks, but don't think this means you won't get wet, especially if you have not kayaked before! Fortunately, the weather cooperated, and I did not mind. It seems to be all in the handling of the paddle. We shared the river with ferries, City Cats, private boats, and jet ski's, which caused a bit of turbulence on the water. If you're a newby, just turn your nose into it, keep your arms, and paddle low. and don't panic! I ended up looking forward to the wakes. We started out against the current then paddled back to the starting point with the current. Smart planning, since my arms, at least, were like noodles by then. Alex kept track of all of us, checking in to
make sure we were doing all right and offering suggestions along the way. Had a great time and look forward to doing this again with my next Brisbane visit!
