    Event description

    Splash into the summer with the return of our popular Tides of Brisbane Boat Tour.

    Hop on a historical boat ride around the riverbend that dives deep into the history of Brisbane and the moments that have helped shape our city. Join us as we charter through studied stories of Brisbane’s winding development, including:

    • First Nations lives and experiences around the river
    • Early colonial impressions on the area, convict history and early migration stories
    • Contemporary and historical buildings of significance that played a part in the urban development of our city
    • The Story Bridge as a major crossing point and economic boost for Brisbane during difficult times
    • Flood stories throughout the history of the river
    • Personalities and places linked to the river
    • And more…

    As well as soaking up the many fascinating stories from Museum of Brisbane’s professional tour guides, guests will experience unforgettable views of Brisbane from the river.

    Starting from the lush oasis of the City Botanic Gardens pontoon, join us as we meander past convict-built structures, historic landmarks and incredible feats of engineering. Make the most of our city’s sensational weather and bask in the river breeze on this 2-hour tour like no other!
