Riverlife 1.5 Hour Kayak Tour-fun day out even in the rain.
Awesome! For a first time paddler, they were helpful, informative & made it fun! The view was gorgeous and I cant wait to go again. Huge shout out to staff at Riverlife- on top of delivering a great experience in magic spot, they were very welcoming.
Amazing experience .The staff is friendly and nice and the water was really good 🤣 The experience is a must-do if you visit Brisvegas.
The staff was extremely friendly and very nice. We had a great time. Sad that the people we were with were not friendly at all but that is another story. I recommend trying this kayak adventure on the Brisbane River! It is worth it 😀 Thank you to our guide Sophia and for your kindness when I fell in the water 😂😂
