The illuminated night kayaking tour would be an excellent way to usher in the New Year. During the tour, participants will paddle through the river and take in the gorgeous sights of Brisbane city lights under the stars on the last night of 2017.
After the kayaking tour, they will head back to shore to enjoy a buffet of gourmet BBQ. The night will be filled with dancing and live music.
At the stroke of midnight, fireworks will light the sky of Brisbane. The venue is the place to be as it offers a prime location to view the fireworks as champagne is tossed all around.

Due to strong public demand for the event, a second session will happen at an earlier time.
