About this tour
Watch Brisbane transform from daylight to glittering skyline on this 90-minute river cruise. The boat departs at 5.30pm (winter) or 6pm (summer), timing you to catch the sunset before the city lights dance across the water. Recline with ambient music and a cheese board whilst the Story Bridge and South Bank slip past. No guided commentary—just you, the river, and a drink from the bar if you fancy one.

What to expect
You'll board 15 minutes early and settle in as the boat pushes off right as the sky shifts colour. The first half is about watching gold and orange fade into deep blue whilst the city's outline starts glowing. By the second half, Brisbane's landmarks—the Story Bridge, the Wheel, the skyscrapers—are fully lit and reflected in still water. The vibe is deliberately relaxed: ambient soundscape, cheese and crackers on deck, time to chat or simply watch. There's a licensed bar if you want wine or a cocktail, and a coffee shop for non-alcoholic options.
