Fun Things To Do In Brisbane. You might think you’ve seen and done it all if you’ve been in Brisbane for a while. But there are so many great things to do here, and you’re bound to have missed something off your list. So, before you say goodbye, end your visit on a high with one of these incredible, once-in-a-lifetime activities.
Flying isn’t just for Virgin Atlantic pilots and multi-millionaires like John Travolta; anyone can do it at Darling Downs Aero Club. From Toowoomba Airport, take a flight with your instructor and spend 30 minutes learning about the basics of piloting while overlooking Australia. Learn about the aircraft and assist with taxi, take-off, mid-flight, and landing for just $150. For an even longer experience, choose the hour flight for $280!
Seal Experiences
At Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, you can get up close and personal with the adorable seals! Just over an hour’s drive from Brisbane, Underwater World offers the chance to meet, stroke, and shake flippers with a seal for just $50, swim with them in their very own habitat for $90, or become a trainer and take part in the Seal Show before feeding and swimming with them! All this, plus a t-shirt, photo book, and certificate, is included in the $350 price tag.
Kiteboarding
Get lessons from Moreton Bay Kiting before heading into the ocean—even the best began as amateurs. Instructor and company director Trevor Jack strictly follows the IKO curriculum. He aims to get his students to level two—upright and independent – and charges $400 for five hours of lessons, $600 for seven-and-a-half hours, and $800-1600 for 10-20 hours. His teachings combine theory and practice, so prepare to do your research!
