Adventures on Brisbane River

Mangrove-fringed Brisbane River winds leisurely through the Brisbane city Centre. This scenic, serene waterway is the backdrop for a whole range of exhilarating outdoor adventure. Tourists can Kayak past Brisbane’s glittering sky-line at night or take in the breathtaking panorama of the city, which surrounds from the top of the Story Bridge. Guests can either climb or abseil the sheer cliffs at Kangaroo Point or walk, bike ride or rollerblade over the floating walkways of Brisbane River walk. They can also take an adrenalin break in the City Botanic Gardens or the lush riverside parks of South Bank. Oaks Hotels & Resorts have some of the best Hotels Brisbane has to offer such as Oaks Aurora. This beautiful hotel is located on the picturesque Brisbane River. This hotel is for both leisure and business travelers, as Brisbane hosts a number of events and festivals too. Rooms at the hotel are spacious, elegant and comfortable.

It is a great experience to climb up to the Story Bridge, it’s an 80 meter Climb. It’s an exhilarating experience that’s one of only three of its kind in the world. Start from Kangaroo Point and learn about the history of the city, bridge and river as you traverse the superstructure. At the top, your exertion is rewarded with a breathtaking panorama over the city, river, Moreton Bay and islands and nearby mountain ranges. For river-level adventure, tourists can join cyclists, roller-bladders, walkers and joggers on the palm-fringed Brisbane Riverwalk, a 20km network of floating pathways. Stop and admire the artistic sculptures or relax in the riverside parks. Picnic beneath the mangroves and macadamia trees of the wild City Botanic Gardens on the river’s north bank. On the other side, River walk leads past the lagoon and sprawling gardens of South Bank. Enjoy a cruise on the Brisbane River on a golden gondola or historic wooden paddle steamer. After all the pulse-racing activity, a rest and relaxation on the River Walk would be perfect.
