For 2 Melbournite's escaping the onset of winter, an hour and a half guided kayak on the Brisbane River on a 27 degree day was the perfect activity! More

No such thing as winter in Brisbane. Just get on a kayak and paddle down the River with Riverlife. So much to do! More

the best product is the Saturday night Paddle and BBQ. I also enjoyed the rollerblading to South Bank. Thanks to the great Staff and Service at Riverlife. I will come back for Rock Climbing at Kangaroo Point Cliffs More

We were made almost purposely to feel unwelcome right from the start. Experience was meant to include a bbq or something and a glass of wine. Again after showering everyone else in the party was taken care of and we weren't offered glasses or food. When we asked and they arrived the wine was gone. We were enjoying the nigh... More

Thank you for your comments. I am the owner of Riverlife and I am moving on this poor service. It seems that something has gone dreadfully wrong here and I will contact you and try to make it up to you. I am investigating now and will get back to you with some positive ways to improve our service. Thank... More

I thnk Riverlife is a step above any other adventure / activity places in Bris. They offer kayaking up the Bris river, abseiling (fun!) and rock climbing, all from the wonderful base of the Kangaroo Point cliffs. I've done this with my adult siblings and had a blast, and have taken kids as well (a great healthy outdoor activity option!),... More

I never thought of having a day in Brisbane that included all these activities. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are a great natural surface of climbing and abseiling. The Brisbane River is also perfect for Kayaking and Standup Paddleboarding. You can ride bikes and rollerblades @riverlife. So worth it! More

My partner and I chose Riverlife to celebrate our engagement with our family and friends. The venue looked absolutely breathtaking with cocktail furniture and panoramic views of the city lights. I had raving reviews about the food (all organised through Riverlife) from many of our guests and the party was a huge success. Even my guests with small children were... More
