River Cruise to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
DAY 4
Time at Port: TBD
If you’re looking to spend some ‘koality time’ with some of the most incredible Australian animals, and you’re after the chance to admire Brisbane’s stunning cityscape and surrounding scenery, this is the perfect excursion for you! A definite ‘must do’ experience while you’re visiting Brisbane and Australia’s east coast, the aptly-named Koala and River Cruise will take you along the stunning Brisbane River to the world-famous Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary on a charming excursion you won’t soon forget. The tour starts with a relaxing river cruise along Brisbane’s waterfront with informative commentary from a world-class tour guide offering insight into the hustle and bustle of the city’s skyscrapers, and the waterside mansions in the leafy suburbs surrounding the city. Then, you’ll arrive at the spectacular Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, having three hours to explore everything on offer at your own leisure. Both the oldest and the largest koala sanctuary of its kind in the world, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is home to over 130 koalas – although, they’re only a part of what this experience offers. Here, you’ll also have the chance to hand-feed kangaroos and emus, admire an authentic Australian sheep dog show, spot a shy platypus swimming in the sunshine, and more. Once you’ve had some time to explore the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, you’ll then embark on a return river cruise right back to where you started. A fantastic introduction to Brisbane as a city and an unforgettable opportunity to admire koalas (and other magnificent Australian animals) in protected environments, this tour promises a fantastic day of adventure that will leave you with lasting memories and a greater appreciation for the conservation efforts being made by the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Things to see:
Brisbane Waterfront
As you enjoy a relaxing and informative cruise along the tree-lined Brisbane River, you’ll have the chance to see the city’s skyline alongside the South Brisbane Cemetery, Indooroopilly Golf Club, Sherwood Arboretum, and more.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Established in 1927 with the primary goal of protecting koalas at a time when the species was being culled for its fur, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is home to well-over 100 koalas alongside 75 species of Australian native animals and birds; it’s also home to an education department, a wildlife hospital, and the Brisbane Koala Science Institute.
Koalas
A vulnerable species of marsupial native to Australia, these incredible creatures are known for their stout bodies, black noses, and fluffy ears; at the Long Pine Koala Sanctuary, you’ll have the chance to spend time in the presence of these incredible animals while observing their natural behaviours in a protected environment designed to fully support their mental, physical, and emotional health.
Red Kangaroos
The largest land-based mammals native to Australia, red kangaroos are something of a symbol of the nation and remarkable animals, with powerful hind legs and a strong tail; with an open field of red kangaroos visitors can observe, pet, and feed, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is one of the best places to witness these creatures up close.
Platypuses
Unique egg-laying mammals, Platypuses can sense prey in cloudy waters using electrolocation and are one of the few species of venomous mammals, with the males of the species having a spur on their hind foot that can deliver an extremely painful venom.

Wrong time of the year for the ports that were chosen. This ship had been in dry dock in Singapore and was not ready when the cruise began. The monsoon season was in full swing and several ports had to be missed or changed and excursions altered.
