The Mirimar cruises the Brisbane River every day of the year except Christmas Day and ANZAC Day.
We are based at the Cultral Centre pontoon in front of the State Library (across the Victoria Bridge heading away from the City). We depart at 10am — Boarding from 9:30am.
Our return trip arrives back at the Cultural Centre at 2:45pm.
Begin the day with a relaxing river adventure on the historic MV Mirimar and spend a fascinating Cruise to the world famous Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary — See the Bat Colony and hear the story of Brisbane.
The cruise aboard Brisbane's most famous river Boat, MV Mirimar, takes you 19 kilometres (12 miles) upstream through some of the city 's most attractive suburbs and most interesting wildlife habitats.
You'll see modern mansions alongside graceful "Old Queenslander " homes with their wide verandas and wrought iron lacework — all overlooking lush river-front gardens.
Come close to flying foxes (fruit bats) in the wild. You'll have the opportunity to get a close up view of a unique inner-city colony of fruit bats — so close you can hear the beating of their wings.
And you 'll learn about Brisbane's past — some of it amusing and some of it horrifying as the Captain recalls our history. His local knowledge will amaze you!
The Mirimar is a large and comfortable cruise boat with a licensed bar and tea/coffee facilities for your comfort.
All this before you arrive at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, with the return trip you have a full two hours to cuddle a Koala, hand feed Kangaroos and marvel at Australia's many more animal wonders. Light snacks, rolls and hot or cold drinks are available for purchase on the Mirimar.
Then board the Mirimar for a thoroughly relaxing cruise back to the city, combine food and a glass of local wine or beer and enjoy your cruise back to the city arriving at 2.45pm.
