- teresabG5708ZI0 contributionsAbseiling with Riverlife in Kangaroo pointThe view descending the cliff was amazing. All the instructors were extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. My first time abseiling and Hanka in particular made it something special to remember. I highly recommend abseiling with RiverlifeWritten 27 December 2024
- Q2182OEdavidr0 contributionsA fun thing to doA good, fun thing to do in Brisbane. Ian was brilliant, very encouraging and made the experience an enjoyable one. Great location for it.Written 22 December 2024
- Tashymon0 contributionsGreat day kayaking!I had a lovely time kayaking. Easy to find, nice walk over bridge to get there, and very friendly/helpful staff. Finished off with a coffee at Joey's Cafe. Highly recommended! :DWritten 21 December 2024
- L65VJpeterg0 contributionsWet and wild!The rain was heavy when we arrived so we weren't sure we would get on the water, but our guide Hanka didn't hesitate and we really enjoyed our time on the river with her. In many ways the rain and fast flowing river made the experience more magical. Thanks Hanka!Written 15 December 2024
- debrasL2840SA0 contributionsGreat views, fun adventureIt was such fun and well organised. Thanks Ian, our guide. Thornton St wharf was not in operation. Use Holman St. Work out in your group how to get pics if you want them.Written 23 November 2024
- Q8817WKjamesm0 contributionsSuperb experienceLauren hosted my tour. A superb experience and perfectly wrapped up a long 3 weeks at work. The weather was 'lamping it' down, but Lauren's enthusiasm really added to the afternoon, really knowledgeable and informative about the area and kayakingWritten 21 November 2024
- davidrR5453UK0 contributionsA new perspective of Brisbane.Thank you Daniel for a relaxing informative kayak tour up to the maritime museum. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a different perspective of the city. You will get wet so dress accordingly. You can rinse off at the river life facility.Written 12 November 2024
- _milieg7850 contributionsFun new experienceI had a great time trying Abseiling for my first time. I found the instructor Lucca was really helpful with all the tips he had. I would recommend this as an activity because it a lot of fun. Even with a little fear of heights.Written 10 November 2024
- MiroToronto0 contributionsAWESOME!!!Wow! Wow! Wow! Is this the craziest thing I’ve ever done? Sure! One of those! Any regrets? Absolutely none! My son and I spent a few days in Brisbane, and went on a lot of adventures, but abseiling the Kangaroo Point cliffs was definitely one of the most extreme and most memorable undertakings. LOL The cliffs are located along the Brisbane River in a stunning park full of exceptionally beautiful trees, flowers, and birds, so it was really breathtaking! Neither of us had ever done anything even remotely close to this, so I was a bit nervous, but our instructor, Matt, was super confident, very competent, and incredibly patient with us (well, mostly me 😊) He gave us a few tips and after a short introduction session, I was able to conquer my worries and fully experience the excitement of abseiling. I wish we had done rock climbing with Matt as well, but that’s next time for sure! If you want to add a bit of the adrenaline rush to your visit to wonderful Brisbane - abseiling the Kangaroo Point cliffs is definitely a must to do!Written 4 November 2024
- MiroToronto0 contributionsGreat ExperienceOne of the best experiences while staying in Brisbane. I’d highly recommend it if you have a few hours to spend outside. Not only will you master (or perfect) your kayaking skills, but you will also enjoy the stunning views of the city. Of course, I should mention the wonderful crew who made it happen for us. Lauren and Daniel were amazing - the coolest instructors! We felt very safe under their care. They were very competent, very professional, and we really enjoyed our casual chat while kayaking. Meeting them was a very nice personal touch to the whole experience.Written 4 November 2024
- H3614TVsophieh0 contributionsHighly RecommendWe did the rock climbing at Kangaroo Point and had a great time. We had a really fun guide that made us feel very safe. The climbing itself was cool and suitable for different skill levels. Highly recommend!Written 3 November 2024
- hlinden80 contributionsGreat way to explore BrisbaneWhat a beautiful way to explore Brisbane on the river! Lauren , our guide, handled the entire process so well from safety reviews to helping us all get into our kayaks. I hardly recommend this place if you want a fun time!Written 20 October 2024
- 800meilyns0 contributionsAwesome abseiling instructors - Kate and JaredWe booked the abseiling tour for a school trip and our instructors, Kate and Jared, were absolutely fantastic. I slipped and ended up upside down and Jared handled it calmly and professionally so that I felt calm enough to complete the activity. They were both also very calming and helpful with the students which we couldn’t appreciate it enough. 10/10 experience.Written 17 October 2024
- Vacation549704258710 contributionsHanka was an outstanding abseiling instructor for our session ❤A big thank you to Hanka from Riverlife who gave expert advice and encouragement to my daughter (15) trying abseiling for the first time. Hanka was very patient, and was very clear in her instructions, and we are grateful for her expertise!Written 12 October 2024

My fiancé and I had a super date night/birthday experience last night.
I’d never tried kayaking before but managed to get back dry and in one piece.
The guide was very helpful and corrected my appalling technique.
It was certainly a different way to see Brisbane, and although I’ve taken hundreds of photos of Brisbane city in twilight and dawn, being on the water gave a different perspective.
I was able to buy a waterproof camera pouch for $12 which was attached to me by a cord round my neck and certainly made the most of it.
They have lockers for three dollars for hire so we could have a change of clothes in case you didn’t come out of the water dry.
We also opted for the grazing platter afterwards, which we really enjoyed sitting in the dark with a candle just looking across the river and having a great time.
I would really recommend this activity and probably if I had another chance, I’d do it a couple months later, so you get more night lights as you enjoy your journey

Awesome night. What a beautiful and unique way to experience brisbane. Seb was a great guide. We cruised at our own pace and loved being on the river on a balmy brisbane evening from sunset to a spectacular vista of the city at night. We enjoyed the grazing board after. Great way to catch up with friends and share an awesome experience.

Blake and Mitch were excellent hosts, warmly welcoming my friend and I for our much-awaited Brisbane River adventure! They taught the group "kayaking 101" then helped us into our kayaks then away we went on a magical journey along the Brisbane River. I loved seeing Brisbane by night and all the reflections on the water, also seeing under the bridge I drive over all the time. Great to see Brisbane from this perspective in such pleasant company. Highly recommend this experience!

We decided to do this sunset kayak as a last minute activity after a change of plans and was such a great experience! Was so straight forward and easy and felt comfortable in the hands of our instructor. It’s a good workout but great fun! Gieran was our guide and was lovely to chat to, had some great facts about Brisbane and overall a brilliant guide. Would 100% do again and would recommend :)

I wanted to thank you again SO MUCH for your absolutely outstanding customer service displayed by Medhi and work ethic you demonstrated to us yesterday. We are incredibly grateful you were able to just roll with an open mind and able to still take us on our Kayak despite my miscommunication on the day/date. It was an exemplary example to our own team members about how you can make people feel with some effort and the right mindset and turn a potential disaster into a super fun afternoon.
As a business owner myself, having team members like this is what makes a business successful.
Thank you again, I’ll be telling everyone about our incredible experience thanks to you and the rest of the team who helped out yesterday and make our event happen without a hitch (and with a great story to tell!).
Cheers
Carly

We did the guided kayak tour at night. It was such an enjoyable experience, the staff was great and guided us through the activities perfectly. I highly recommend the night tour. The city lights, weather and water were amazing... a perfect experience for a Saturday night.

Was a rather disappointing outing for us, my partner is not a water person and has not been on the water vessel many times.
Ty I think was his name was rather rude and less than a patient when it came to us getting organised.
He must’ve been having a rather bad day because he wasn’t speaking to the other staff very nice either we didn’t catch the females name sounded like Ali.
