PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIA
Cruising upon the river seven days a week, Kookaburra River Queens is a name familiar to most Brisbanites. These cruises are often utilised for functions and parties where guests are treated to a memorable experience aboard a luxury authentic paddlewheeler. As you take in the best views Brisbane has to offer, enjoy the changing city sights by day or night. A themed cruise takes place each month, past winners being the Sex and the City cruise, featuring a mall, clairvoyant and cocktails, and also the Rockin’ with Elvis cruise, for those who still love the king.

Whether it’s a romantic seafood dinner, a wedding or a corporate conference, Kookaburra River Queens can cater for your event. Combining elegant dining, live entertainment and undeniably the most breathtaking views of Brisbane, Kookaburra River Queens offers a fully licensed bar and buffet facilities. The seafood buffet features fresh Queensland seafood, a carvery, salads, antipasto platters, cheeses and desserts. During the day the Kookaburra River Queens provide wine and cheese or Devonshire tea cruises, where Captain Cole whips out his piano accordion, puts on the charm and woos his guests with his old school tunes. To encourage a family atmosphere, children under four years old are free while those up to the age of 12 dine for half price. Children are delighted by the dessert buffet, but most of all by the experience of being on a cruise of the harbour.

Kookaburra River Queens - User Reviews

Richard Holmes:

Our night on the Kookaburra was an experience I’ll remember forever. The boat is a very finely crafted river boat that has all the charm of a vessel that is hand built. The friendly staff, many of whom were international students, were very helpful during the dinner portion of the cruise. The buffet was well worth the wait as the staff called up each table one by one. The local Morton bay bugs (that were in season at the time) presented and tasted fresh and juicy. I know we had more than one each which to me smacks of great value for money. Tiger prawns, freshly shucked oysters and plenty of lemon and limes complemented the seafood buffet. Next came salads, antipasto and 10 hot choices, wow my wife and I were really full and content. Great cruise and the bonus is the range of food presented in a friendly non-formal atmosphere, quite different and unique and hard to compare it with anything else we have been to before. We waited a little to be called to the buffet – approx 25 mins – but given the size of the deck and the number of people it feeds, you end up waiting about the same time you would at an a la carte restaurant. Plenty of time to enjoy a drink from the bar. We will be back to the Brisbane River and next time we want to try one of the other day cruises the Kookaburras offer. Go try it - you will love it as much as we did. Richard Holmesreview 20/09/2011
