There were maybe 10 people total for our group. Instructor Alex was very knowledgeable about how to get into the kayak, how to adjust the life vest, what to do if you happen to flip, and most importantly, how to get back into the kayak if an impromptu swim happens. Everyone stayed in their kayaks, but don't think this means you won't get wet, especially if you have not kayaked before! Fortunately, the weather cooperated, and I did not mind. It seems to be all in the handling of the paddle. We shared the river with ferries, City Cats, private boats, and jet ski's, which caused a bit of turbulence on the water. If you're a newby, just turn your nose into it, keep your arms, and paddle low. and don't panic! I ended up looking forward to the wakes. We started out against the current then paddled back to the starting point with the current. Smart planning, since my arms, at least, were like noodles by then. Alex kept track of all of us, checking in to
make sure we were doing all right and offering suggestions along the way. Had a great time and look forward to doing this again with my next Brisbane visit!

It was my first time trying this sport and there were some difficulties for me, it was hard for me to keep up with the others. Thank you very much for Alex's help and encouragement. His explanation and introduction are very clear and kind, and he has always encouraged me to finish. All in all, it was a very special experience.

Alex was a great guide and conversationalist. I had lots of questions about Brisbane’s infrastructure, neighborhoods, and politics and he had great knowledge about it all! Really great way to see the city and learn a bit about the country I’m visiting.

Really enjoyed my first kayaking experience with Mitch who was an awesome instructor and full of local knowledge. The views from the river were superb. I am 57 years old and was worried about getting in and out of the kayak but staff made it feel safe, easy and were very supportive. Both my friend and I loved it and will be doing this activity again when we are in Brisbane.

A beautiful way to see parts of the city, and fun. I have occasionally kayaked before but am no expert, and our instructor & guide kept us safe & assisted two of our group when each got into difficulty. (One lagged behind and the guide towed them to us, the other went for a “swim”.)
A lovely way to while away some time.
