Paddle your own kayak along the Brisbane River on this 90-minute guided tour, suitable for first-timers and experienced kayakers alike. After a safety briefing and kayaking tips from your professional guide, you set off from the Riverlife Adventure Centre below the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and head out on south-east Queensland's longest river. Paddling with the tide, you see Brisbane's landmarks from the water, passing South Bank and gliding under the Story Bridge, with great views and plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Your guide shares insights as you go, and you set your own pace, whether you want a relaxed paddle or a more energetic ride. Each kayak carries one person, and all the equipment you need is provided. Tours depart at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00 and finish back where they started, making this an easy way to discover the best of Brisbane from a different angle during your stay.
