and informative commentary.

Cruise was great fun with two 8 year-olds. Got a healthy dose of Brisbane history on the way to the sanctuary was an extra perk. Would recommend to other family travelers.

Great experience getting to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary via the Mirimar II, the captain was friendly, the boat ride was stable, the commentary was informative and the views were great, and the boat was able to reach the doorstep of the sanctuary 👍👍👍
