Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- CasandraTPSydney, Australia4,206 contributionsWe traveled from Teneriffe to St Lucia then back to Southbank which took around 90 mins. It is the perfect way to see the Brisbane River and all city sites the city has to give. There are different cats, some with a second floor and even one with a cover that protects you from the sun, but do remember the sun screen just in case. You are meant to tap on and off the cat, at the moment it is 50 cents but if you don’t tap twice it is $2.50 which is still a bargain. The ferry stops we went to don’t have seats near where you enter the cat so if you need to sit stay near the opening. Oh and I just loved all the different designs of all the bridges. When visiting Brisbane this is definitely worth doing.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,770 contributionsOutstanding ferry service on the Brisbane River and service the CBD, Southbank and Kangaroo Point and its free. KittyKats are catamaran type ferries with a 60-passenger capacity, very popular in the mornings and late afternoons. We had learnt from our previous visit and waited until late morning before venturing to the ferry port at Holman Street.Written 7 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- obizerokenobiLos Angeles, CA193 contributionsThe City Hopper route is currently the only free ferry service along the Brisbane River, operated by the City itself, though the City operates other routes along the River that are not currently free. The route is good and you don’t need to transfer at the ends of the route because the boat just turns around and does the same route in reverse.Written 12 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
