SHORE TOUR - Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and Brisbane HighlightsTour

About this experience

The Lone Pine and Brisbane Highlights Express from the Cruise Terminal! Nothing to worry about! Lunch and Entry included!! We have reliable fun and friendly drivers, and each bus is limited to a total of 11 passengers, so no waiting around for other people or noisy passengers! Let's take a drive through the city and up to the heights of Mt Coo-tha originally name Coo-tha which is reminiscent of the stingless honeybees which were native to the area and means honey mountain in the aboriginal language. The highlight of the tour must be our visit to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and explore at your own pace. With over 130 koalas, it is the world's first and largest koala sanctuary. Get up close and personal with emus, wombats, and maybe even the endangered Tasmanian Devil! Next up is a sumptuous lunch which is included at the botanical garden cafe, we will enjoy a cafe style meal with incredible views of the gardens, then we will have some time to meander through the gardens and visit the planetarium. We will take you to Southbank Parklands a famous area for recreation, you can get a photo with the famous Brisbane Sign and take a stroll through the bouganvillea arches. We will then make our way to Kangaroo Point Cliffs, where we may be lucky enough to see some serious rock climbers or brave abseilers. Fun fact - the cliffs were created by convicts mining the volcanic rock which form the cliffs. Lastly we will see the amazing Cantiliver bridge (Story Bridge) from Captain Burke Park! If time permits we may even see the beautiful New Farm Park and Powerhouse Direct transfer back to the port makes for an amazing and seam free day out!
