About this tour
Scramble up Brisbane's steel-lattice Story Bridge for unobstructed views across the city and beyond. This 90-minute guided ascent takes you 80 metres above the Brisbane River, where you'll spot Moreton Bay's islands, the Glass House Mountains, and Lamington National Park stretching toward the horizon. Your leader shares the bridge's history and local geography whilst keeping the group safe. One professional photo is included; additional shots are available to purchase.

What to expect
You'll begin with a safety briefing covering harness fitting and climbing technique. The ascent involves climbing steel steps and ladders on the bridge's external frame—it's steady but never vertical. Your guide points out landmarks and shares stories about the bridge and surrounding regions. At the top, you'll have time to take in the panorama and snap your complimentary group photo. The descent follows the same route. The full experience takes around 2 hours including preparation.
