Among plenty of bucket lists is a gondola ride down the tight canals of Venice, Italy. Though, making the moment a reality can seem like a faraway fantasy sometimes. The Bribie Island Gondola is the next best thing, giving you a taste of an Italian getaway without leaving Queensland.
Instead of flying to the other side of the world, this romantic gondola ride is just an hour north of Brisbane and, thanks to your own private skipper, will have you cruising down Bribie Island’s Pumicestone Passage and Pacific Harbour canals.
From the gondola, you’ll enjoy unrivalled views of the Glasshouse Mountains towering in the distance, all the while enjoying a bite and tipple with your date or mates.
Prices start at $250 for a 1 to 1.5 hour ride. However, the gondola fits six guests, so the cost of the cruise gets cheaper per person with more people on board.
It’s BYO food and drinks too, in case you wanted to bring a bottle of champers and some snacks aboard.
Alternatively, if you want to be wined and dined, Bribie Island Gondola offers a range of onboard options for food and drinks, including breakfast platters, antipasto cheese platters, as well as luxe seafood platters.
Island Gondola is also a perfect activity for special occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, wedding proposals, romantic sunsets, and more.
