The staff on the cruise were very friendly & helpful.

My 3-year-old niece from the UK had a fabulous day, experiencing kangaroos & koalas! Great day out for the kids. The only disappointment was that we were unable to hold a koala. The cruise staff were really helpful and assisted us with the stroller on & off of the boat.

Recommend highly. Great price for relaxing day out

We had our relos from England here and booked this trip. The boat ride down the river was fantastic with the added commentary. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was great. The boat to go back to Brisbane was was well organised and expectations set out so you knew when you had to be back to boat from sanctuary Great trip.

Great day out and lovely scenic , informative way to get to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where you can lunch surrounded by koalas, see eagles/owls up close, lots of birds and plenty of active koalas and more. Plenty of time to see everything, including photo with a koala.
