Lonely Planet review for Riverlife Adventure Centre

Opened in 2005, this diverse centre offers a wealth of river- and land-based activities. Group kayaking lessons along the Brisbane River are held daily at 1pm ($34), Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm ($45), or you can hire your own ($25 for 1½ hours). The paddle and prawns ($69; 1½ hours kayaking followed by beer and prawns on the riverfront deck) on Friday nights from 7pm gets rave reviews. On Thursdays at noon you can participate in traditional Aboriginal song and dance performances (adult/child $45/25) with members of the Nunukul, Yuggera, Yugimbir and Nugi tribes. Performances ($65 per person) are also held on Saturday at 7pm; bookings are essential.

    Perfect for Adventure in Brisbane

    tuluss recommends this,

    I only had a short time in Brisbane (and limited funds) but I was able to go kayaking on the Brisbane River, abseiling on the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and have lunch and a cold drink in one day for less than $100 Ausie dollars. Great day and just what I was after. Thanks Riverlife

    Great adventure centre - nothing like it around the world

    jeffray1978 recommends this,

    Imagines climbing a natural cliff wall, kayaking the river right next to a major City like Brisbane. You can go rollerblading or cycling, learn to stand up paddle board or go abseiling all in one day. Riverlife is a fantistic place a real find on any trip to Queensland Australia. I can't wait to go back for night sessions when I am back in Brisbane. Thanks to Riverlife Staff! :)

    A perfect place to spend any day

    2live4today recommends this,

    It was only just recently that I came across this Adventure Centre on my walk along Kangaroo Point. I was absolutely amazed by all the activities they had on offer; from roller skating to abseiling and no experience needed! The staff were so friendly and helpful when briefing me on the activities. The views of the city from the centre venue is also a highlight of my visit. I look forward to coming back and trying out a new adventure! Just last week I saw a brochure in a city cafe on their first cocktail ball on the night of Brisbane Riverfire!! I was so excited I booked a ticket straight away for me and my friends. Riverlife has been amazing and I look forward to their upcoming event!! Everyone should come! :)

    The Best Place to do Kayaking

    cathychen recommends this,

    Yesterday the weather is very nice and beautiful. My room mates and I decide to do kayaking after lunch. We hired kayak without instructor and still had a really good time. Very relaxed! The weather was not cold, sun was beautiful! It's perfect timing to do kayaking!

    I totally love this place, Riverlife rocks !

    adventuredeb recommends this,

    Riverlife is the place to go if you have ever wanted to try on some adventure, I was never really the type, but got a voucher given to me for a Kayak, it was fun, so went back and did a night kayak ending up on their magic deck overlooking the city having prawns n a beer.

    Then I really pushed myself and did thier abseil and rock climb, initially I was scared to death, but they have the most amazing instructors, that made everything so simple, cant believe I waited so long in life to do this stuff, now I am getting married their next year in their beautiful marquee... This place is worth visiting :)
