Brisbane City Tour Showcases Wildlife, Scenic Lookouts, and Iconic Landmarks
Travelers exploring Queensland’s capital can experience a rich blend of nature, culture, and city highlights on a guided tour through Brisbane and up to the scenic heights of Mt Coo-tha. Named after the stingless honeybees native to the region, meaning “honey mountain” in the local Aboriginal language, the area offers sweeping views and a fitting introduction to a day filled with discovery.
A major highlight of the journey is a visit to the world-renowned Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the first and largest koala sanctuary on the planet. Guests can explore at their own pace while encountering over 130 koalas along with iconic Australian wildlife such as emus, wombats, and the endangered Tasmanian devil. The experience provides a rare and up-close connection with Australia’s unique fauna in a peaceful, natural setting.
Following the wildlife encounter, visitors enjoy a relaxing café-style lunch at the botanical garden café, surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views. The experience continues with time to explore the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, including the planetarium and tranquil walking paths, offering a calm contrast to the morning’s adventure.
The tour then moves through some of Brisbane’s most recognizable urban landmarks, beginning with South Bank Parklands, where guests can photograph the famous Brisbane Sign and stroll beneath vibrant bougainvillea arches. Stops at Kangaroo Point Cliffs reveal dramatic volcanic rock formations and glimpses of rock climbers in action, while the day concludes at Captain Burke Park with stunning views of the Story Bridge—an unforgettable finale to a journey blending wildlife, nature, and city life.

Customer Reviews
Very nice small zoo with lots of koalas and kangaroos. It is amazing what they do for the animals and people can see koalas from very close even touch them (need to pay extra). Also feeding kangaroos and walking around in the Farm (donkeys, sheep, chickens and etc). Nice birds of prey show. The only disappointment was the separate part of the park where wombats, tasmanian devils and tree kangaroos reside - we did not see a single animal there and it looks a bit unfriendly (at least that was my feeljng)
Such a great Queensland animal zoo not too far from the city center. Lots of koalas, reptiles, kangaroos, birds and platypus is a huge bonus to see in real life seeing as they are so hard to spot in the wild. Love that there are many encounter programs and school holiday programs for the animal lovers young and old. Well planned out space with the peaceful river as the backdrop. Highly recommend especially if you do not have the opportunity to drive to the big Australia zoo 1.5hrs away.
Tickets - We purchased tickets in advance from the visitor information centre at Queen's Street in Brisbane CBD and managed to get a 10% discount + a free silver koala pin each. Highly recommend doing so if already in the vicinity of the visitor information centre. Parking - Lots of free parking available on a weekday. Overall vibes - Loved how relaxed it felt stepping into the sanctuary. The animals all looked like they were living their best life, and all the staff members we met seemed to genuinely enjoy working there. It was great that the shows were available both in the morning and afternoon, so we could tour at our own pace instead of having to rush to catch them. The shows were fairly short (15 mins) but very informative. The keepers clearly prioritised the comfort of the animals and made slight adjustments to the show accordingly. We enjoyed buying some kangaroo feed then venturing into the open field to feed them! F&B - Food selection was good and expectedly pricey (since it is an attraction afterall!). We only got light bites and ended driving back to town for food after leaving mid afternoon. We were five adults and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There were many families out and about and the kids looked like they were having fun. Ample stroller parking all around the sanctuary.
