Highly recommended day trip - We choose this tour to incorporate a cruise on the river with a trip to the koala sanctuary. We had a fantastic day with Miramar Cruises, with an informative trip up the river with our friendly and amusing captain, Paul, who told us all about the history of Brisbane and points of interest along the river. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was brilliant with many other animals to see and learn about. On the return trip we were invited to the wheelhouse which our four year old enjoyed.

Love this tour - The river cruise was fun and informative. The captain is very personable and talked with us. Such a beautiful venue at the Sanctuary with amazing animals. I was impressed by their stewardship and breeding programs of these animals.

Koalas! - The river cruise was great, the commentary having the right mix of informative and humour. The koala park was fabulous! Lots of animals (not just koalas) and an easy walk around. The koala experience is worth paying the extra.

Great day out - Kangaroos up close! Koala was good. Plants obscuring my photos thou. Wouldn’t let me move the leaves. Needed 30 more minutes in the park to go to gift shop. So much to see!

Pure koalas and kangaroos & Co. - Informative river cruise to the Sanctuary. And then koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, snakes, emus and much more. Everything up close. In particular, the kangaroos are amazingly trusting, tame and really crunchy.

Brilliant - Loved every minute from getting on the boat from start to finish. Captain was very informative on the cruise along with his bit of humour-lovely guy. The Koala sanctuary was amazing, plenty of time to wander around the sanctuary before having to return to the boat.

Delightful day on the river - We had a very enjoyable day traveling on the Brisbane River to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. There were options to purchase drinks and food which many people were taking advantage of. We enjoyed the peaceful and scenic cruise and the commentary from the Captain with many interesting facts. The staff were very friendly and the boat was clean and well maintained.
