Enjoyed the experience on weekdays afternoon. The ship was packed with people celebrating Christmas, yet perfectly handled and serviced from boarding to finish.
The ticket was rather expensive, yet worth it due to the wide variety of food. Four types of salads, complete protein choices such as beef, lamb, and fish, as well as rice, two types of pasta, and three types of dessert; all perfectly seasoned. Moreover, you can refill your plates as well.
Would love to be able to enjoy the experience at night!
Absolutely lovely, wonderful staff wonderful food, and perfect weather. Could not ask for more
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. We were given a table on the forward deck, so we had uninterrupted 270 deg views and a lovely breeze while the boat was under way.
The service was excellent - attentive, friendly and helpful. The buffet was above expectations. The entertainer was very easy to listen to and didn't take a break for the entire cruise. The package was great value at $65 per person, with unlimited drinks included. The selection was more than satisfactory, with at least one each of sparkling, white and red wine, light and full strength beer and spirits.
We thoroughly recommend this cruise to others. We'll be back for the dinner cruise next time.

Our night was just amazing. the food and the cocktails were nice, but what definitely made our night more than perfect was the attention and service from Cristina one of your staff members she is from Spain I just want you to let her know that we don't have words to say thank you enough for making our night one of the best ones.
My family and I absolutely loved the cruise. We were really impressed with how accommodating and friendly the staff were. The food was absolutely delicious and there was amazing variety for everyone. The dinner cruise was a must and my parents can’t wait to “go again”. We will be back soon for sure. Thank you to Kookaburra Cruises for making my mums birthday dinner one she will never forget.
Kookaburra River Queens dinner cruise🚢🍽! If your all for a romantic dinner with a river cruise or fun family dinner event, this a great idea to try ! ✨This 3 hour cruise, takes you crusing up the river while you enjoy a buffet dinner of breads, roast, Chinese or mixed cuisines, live music and buffet dessert. You can purchase drink tickets prior to boarding to purchase drinks from the bar to get cheaper deals or just pay onboard. All the food is already included in your ticket price. Our tickets were about $69 per adult and $20 for kids.✅
We noticed there weren't many kids on the cruise the night we went. It seems to be very popular with elders. Some even got up and had a dance to the live music which was lovely to see them enjoying the atmosphere. You are allowed to explore the boat while it is cruising the river. The night lights were beautiful. They also run afternoon and day time cruises. 🔆
It is a good once off occassion to do with family, friends or a loved one, however not something you'd do regularly unless you are a crusing addict! But overall nice experience & food is good, nothing too fancy but they are very good with catering to dietary needs. as they did this for us and were very attentive with checking we were ok. They also have great kids 3 tier dinner plates with nuggets, chips etc on there for them. We liked this idea. They are also very helpful with birthdays and bringing out & storing the cake. There were serval birthday onboard during our trip and the singer sang each happy birthday which was nice.
We came on Saturday to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday, we ordered platters and birthday cake, had cocktails and an amazing time! It was so much better than we even expected, had such a brilliant night. Jean was looking after us and should get a special mention as she was fabulous - kind and friendly and truly a credit to you. We will definitely be recommending you!
An awesome experience and something we would highly recommend.
From the moment we stepped on-board the hospitality was outstanding, with all of the friendly staff members making us feel most welcome.
The food was very well prepared and plentiful and whilst we are not huge eaters there was a great selection to choose form.
Outstanding value for money and a great night all round!
Father's Day Brunch.
A lovely day on the river, the weather was perfect and the Brunch was excellent.
I will certainly recommend Kookaburra cruises and will be a return customer.
Went here for a lunch cruise as part of a corporate function and had low expectations which plummeted when I realised it was a buffet. However, there were four fresh and delicious types of salad, at least 6 meat dishes that all my friends said were awesome, roasted steamed vegetables and an amazing mushroom pasta dish which I could eat everyday and not get tired of. Dessert was alternate drop- I had a berry meringue which was beautifully light and indulgent, and others rate the pannacotta well. Service was very professional and prompt, despite the large size of the group. Definitely exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
We were on a work Christmas party last night and had a great time. I have to mention all staff on board, managers, bartenders, DJ etc. ran the show amazingly. They were so helpful, friendly and served with a smile. Beautiful city views at night. Food can be better but I'm happy that there were lots of vegetarian options. The cocktails are amazing. Must try.
Hello there Kookaburra team, First of all, I would like to say thank you for an amazing night😍 The service, food and the crew were fantastic 👌 very impressive with the work you guys are doing everyday.

I hope y'all get a pay rise from your Boss coz you all deserve it😊 God bless and stay safe x till we meet again😁
Review of: Brisbane River Lunchtime Cruise
We are from SA visiting our daughter in Brisbane. We had a wonderful time on the river cruise. Our daughter booked online. The website was easy to navigate. We took advantage of the discounted parking, which made the journey worry free. From the time we arrived to wait for boarding, our time on the boat and to disembarking, customer service and interactions with all the staff was excellent. They were happy & friendly and this definitely contributed to our experience. The entertainment was great, the boat was decorated beautifully with Christmas tree, decorations and fairy lights etc. The boat was spacious, which made it easy to move about. The facilities were clean. The food was delicious, lots of choice to cater to different tastes and there was plenty to eat. We had a window seat on the 2nd level, perfect spot to observe the scenery along the cruise route, including city views, bridges, parks etc, which also presented great photo opportunities, it was lovely. The roof top deck provided another option of enjoying the scenic views. The cruise was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. When we visit again, we would like to try the dinner cruise. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and thought it was a lovely way to spend an afternoon and enjoy the Brisbane sights on the water. We would highly recommend the experience.
Great memorable experience! Staff were very accommodating and made it special as they were aware the booking was for a birthday celebration. Music was entertaining - limited options for requests for young adults age group. Curtis was very personable. Much appreciate the experience!
Had the pleasure of a date for one, on board the Kookaburra Queen for a lunch buffet cruise.
All the staff were friendly and inviting. The boarding and seating system flowed well being guided to the upper deck.
With 360 degree views and spotless windows, the cruise down to Southbank and back up past the story bridge, around and back again was spectacular - plus it was a magical day.
A quick trip up to the roof top deck was the perfect opportunity to bask in the sun.
Table service was provided with drinks easily accessible.
The buffet lunch was varied and with great choices.
I’m really looking forward to coming back in a couple of weeks for the dinner cruise.
Had a perfect evening for River Fire here. Thanks to your amazing team- they were all sooo busy but never stopped smiling. All the food was delicious especially the calamari salad. Will be back, will recommend. Cheers!
Enjoyed the cruise, it was lovely , the food options were reasonable nice , atmosphere was lovely... I had a good time definitely will be back.
