Lovely views and a relaxed instructor

The views on the river are spectacular and the kayaking is calm, especially if the wind and tide are to your advantage. Hopefully you can get straight in the water without a long wait.

Many thanks for your review Dario we had a great group who paddled well & safely . The scheduled meet time was 5.30pm , some people arrived early & some arrived late. We were on the water at 5.45pm & arrived at our destination at South Bank as it was a fast trip I extended the tour & we paddled towards the Maritime Museum & turned around to paddle back to the boat ramp . Kayak Fun is owner operated by Andrew McCallum who is passionate about kayaking & makes regular improvements in our customers best interests Kayak Fun does not have any control over customers punctuality or the weather & tides Over the last four years Kayak Fun has allowed people free tours & free rescheduling bookings, sadly there are times when less than six people book we must cancel a tour for the Brisbane River Tour Happy Paddling Andrew McCallum
