    Escape the bustle of the city as you board a boat in Brisbane's Southbank district and embark on a relaxing cruise to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. As you glide along Brisbane's waterfront from the skyscrapers to the leafy suburbs, listen to the informative commentary by your captain.

    Once you arrive at Lone Pine, you will have 3 hours to explore the world's largest koala sanctuary, home to more than 130 koalas! Visit the Platypus House where you might get a chance to say hello to the shy platypus. Don't miss out on seeing the Birds of Prey show, where you can see owls, kites, and sea eagles flying high above you!

    If you'd like to get closer to the animals, try hand-feeding the kangaroos and wallabies; over 100 of them live in a 5-acre reserve here. Lone Pine also hosts a sheepdog show where you see the hardworking (and adorable!) dogs round up a herd of sheep while responding to their master's whistles and hand signals. Your tour ends with a relaxing return journey on the same cruise boat.
