Story Bridge Magnificent Climb

Kerry 30 March 2025

The Story Bridge Climb is an experience of a lifetime. Their staff are wonderful and the climb was gentle leading to a fantastic view of the city of Brisbane and its surrounds. If we can do it in our seventies, anyone can.

An enjoyable sunset at the Storey Bridge

Vincent 4 February 2025

The guided tour is well organized and it enforced a safe way to be up on the Storey Bridge to enjoy the sunset viewing of the Brisbane city. Plenty of time was allowed to view different parts around the city peacefully even the road traffic was busy on the bridge

Great guide, great exerscise, great views

Stephanie 15 April 2024

Gifted this experience for a birthday gift and took my Dad. The guide (Nick!) was fantastic - great humour and made us feel very comfortable througout the whole process. Definitely felt very safe. Bit of a challenge if you're not too fit, but doable for my 60yo Dad (albeit we both had sore legs after, but not sore enough to take away from the experience!). You'll get awesome views and great tid-bits about Brisbane (I learned new things and I've been here for 15+ years!). 10/10 would go again.
