This boat trip is a unique experience. On a hot Brisbane day this is the perfect way to travel to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. The informative cruise shows you a different aspect of Brisbane which you wouldn't normally see. The Koala Sanctuary is exceptional in showing how Koalas live. The talks are so entertaining with a chance to meet a... More

Mirimar is a boat that takes you out to the Lone Pine Zoo which has 100+ koalas. It leaves at 10:00 AM and takes 75 minutes to get there. We had a beautiful day and the boat ride was just the most enjoyable way to go. On the way out they have a narration for tourists (like me) about the... More

This was a great way to spend a day in Brisbane. The cruise is lovely up the river, the staff are welcoming and although the commentary is prerecorded it is still funny. The food on board is lovely and not overpriced, they have free sunscreen to protect you if you have forgotten your own. The Koala Sancutary is great but... More

Ended up going on the cruise on a weekday because our group was looking for something to do on a day off in Brisbane. The reason I chose this cruise was that instead of just a river tour of the city, it added the koala sanctuary. The river was ok. They dis well with what there is to work with... More

This was a very relaxing day you start off with an hr or so long river cruise with commentary about Brisbane that was great, the staff wore very friendly, polite and helpful. Then after spending a couple of hours at the koala sanctuary it is a nice cruise home. You can by food on board which was affordable and very... More

65aud for the trip to the koala sanctuary plus the entrance. The trip is great, a recording shows you the most important places. You can have breakfast onboard and the crew ia very friendly. The best way to get to the koala sanctuary!

Well located departure dock near the cultural center, boat is fairly new and well maintained, and canned river commentary is both informative and well done. Crew is helpful and the Sanctuary worth your time, especially if you attend the scheduled presentations. I especially liked the two presentations on birds of prey and sheepdogs.

Some of the jokes in the commentary were corny! The trip up river and back was an excellent way to pass time with friends. The animals at the sanctuary are worth spending the time exploring!
