After some research - on TripAdvisor - we decided to take a 1 1/2hr (round trip) ferry ride along the Brisbane River. I consider it was value for money - $5.60 per adult for 2hrs. If you stay on the ferry for longer, you must pay more. So we went as far as we could, and saw various mansions, light... More

I often gets on from UQ and get off at the last stop. It was really pleasant experience. Every time someone new come to Brisbane I recommend this to them.

From a recommendation we took the ferry along the river from Toowong to South Bank. The person selling tickets on the ferry was really helpful. She recommended switching to the Red, free ferry to go under the Story Bridge to Sydney Point. There we swapped back to the City Cat for a beautiful trip back to Toowong. A few hours... More

As newcomers to Brisbane, the river cat ferry was a pleasant surprise. We took a late afternoon ride to the furthest stop and back, the sunset on the river and the city lights made this trip quite memorable

For just 5 Aus$ you can have a 2 and a half hour river cruise of Brisbane on the City Cat Ferry. Jump on at any of the stops in town and head up towards the harbour and return past the city centre and then head down towards the University. Some great views from the river. Sit right upfront for... More

We had a few hours to spend in Brisbane upon arriving from Gold Coast before catching our late late night flight back home. Based on advice from fellow forumers, I chose the CityCat to get a quick overview of Brisbane and I am glad I did so. It was so enjoyable to pass through some of the nicest areas of... More

We visited Brisbane with friends for a weekend to spend time with our daughters. We arranged for our trip to coincide with the PowerHouse New Farm Markets. We caught the CityCat Ferry from Hawthorne over to New Farm. After the markets we went for a longer City Cat ride further along the Brisbane River. We went past Towong to the... More

This was our third time back in Brisbane. My son and his wife live near Brett's Wharf, Ascot almost at the end of the Citycat route. If you purchase a 5 dollar Go card you can travel on the boat, bus or train for less than 4 dollars a trip in the rush hour, even less off peak. The boat... More
