Classic Pubs Tour

River to Bay

Updated: Feb 02, 2022

River to Bay’s Classic Pubs Tour combines the best elements of a pub crawl and a boat cruise, with passengers cruising the Brisbane River stopping at Brisbane’s best pubs as they go. 

River to Bay will transport passengers between three of Brisbane’s most iconic pubs - Breakfast Creek Hotel, Story Bridge Hotel and Port Office Hotel (or Stock Exchange Hotel on Sundays) - on board their newly-built, high-speed vessels. This means you're able to enjoy the unique atmosphere of these classic pubs and have plenty of time to grab a bite to eat at each venue.

Guests will jump on board at Northshore Harbour, Hamilton before heading to the most famous watering hole in Queensland, Breakfast Creek Hotel.

From there, guests will hop back on board and cruise up river to Kangaroo Point's Story Bridge Hotel. River to Bay's custom-built vessels have been purpose-built to stop right on the beach under the iconic Story Bridge. 

Finally, passengers will embark one last time to travel across the river and dock at City Botanic Gardens, for the final stop of the tour, the historic Port Office Hotel (or Stock Exchange Hotel on Sundays).   

The 6-hour tour offers guests exclusive offers* at each venue, including a steak and beer for $35 at Breakfast Creek Hotel and a burger and beer for only $19 at Port Office Hotel - plus much more. As a guest on tour, you will also enjoy priority entry at each venue, meaning you can skip the queues and enjoy your pints sooner.

*Terms and Conditions apply on exclusive offers.
