Canoeing on Brisbane River, Brisbane Sunset & City Lights
This is an easy canoe paddling trip around the Brisbane's Story Bridge and surrounds, from a unique perspective after the sun has set. This is the best way to see the City of Brisbane and its unique Bridge – The Story Bridge, and the historic buildings, beautifully lit up from the city lights.
You'll paddle past wonderful old waterfront homes and towering buildings on what is called one of Australia’s most liveable rivers. Experience the wonderful sights of Brisbane’s waterfront world in a safe and unique environment lead by qualified and experienced staff.
This truly is an experience like you have never had before on the water. The canoe you will be paddling has a flat bottom, holds 2 people and is very stable, even complete beginner's will feel totally comfortable as they leisurely paddle along the river taking in the views.

We had a great time on the Brisbane River Twilight Canoe Tour. The guides were very helpful and informative. It was very cool seeing the Story Bridge lit up with blue lights for the Q150 celebrations. I really enjoyed seeing the city from the perspective of being on the canoe. It's an amazing looking city at night. At the end we were even provided with food on the tour (cheeses, biscuits, cabana etc.) and were so full by the amount that was provided that we didn't need dinner. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd recommend it to anyone.
