Experiential holiday
Starting Nov 29, Malaysia Airlines will launch direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Brisbane, opening the gateway to unforgettable adventures in Queensland’s vibrant capital and beyond.
From cultural icons to wildlife encounters and coastal escapes, here’s what awaits when you land.
With up to five flights a week, Malaysia Airlines brings Brisbane closer than ever — and you can now enjoy exclusive all-in return fares from just RM1,999.
From exploring the unspoiled landscapes of Moreton Island to snorkeling shipwrecks teeming with marine life or sailing tranquil, crystal-clear waters, visitors are spoiled for choice with memorable adventures.
Thrill quest
A true emblem of Brisbane, the Story Bridge is more than a link across the river — it’s an invitation to experience the city from a new and exhilarating perspective.
As the longest cantilever bridge in Australia and an important landmark listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992, it has become a defining feature of the city skyline, especially at night, when its LED lighting displays transform it into a glowing icon and centrepiece of the annual Riverfire celebration.
As one of only three bridge climbs of its kind in the world, the Story Bridge Adventure Climb takes you on a guided journey to the summit.
From this unique vantage point, approximately 80m above the river, a mesmerising 360-degree panorama of Brisbane unfolds.
The city’s skyline, the serpentine path of the Brisbane River and the lush, distant mountain ranges of the Glass House Mountains and Lamington National Park all come into view, making for a truly unforgettable moment.
Visitors to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary can experience rare, close encounters with koalas.
Wildlife encounters
Just a short journey from the city centre, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary offers a heartwarming and truly Australian experience.
As one of the world’s oldest and largest koala sanctuaries — home to more than 130 resident koalas — it provides an unforgettable opportunity to get up close to some of the country’s most iconic wildlife.
Beyond cuddling adorable koalas, visitors can hand-feed friendly kangaroos, join wild lorikeet feeding sessions and encounter a wide range of native animals including wombats, wallabies, platypuses and Tasmanian devils.
The sanctuary also features exciting daily experiences such as free-flight raptor shows with eagles, owls, kites and falcons, as well as informative koala and dingo talks led by wildlife experts.
Dedicated to conservation and education, the sanctuary offers a tranquil escape that connects visitors with the heart and spirit of Australia’s unique fauna.
River adventures
The Brisbane River is the city’s magnificent lifeline, a winding waterway that defines its landscape and lifestyle.
From sightseeing cruises to leisurely ferry rides, exploring the river offers a different perspective of the city’s landmarks.
You can glide past iconic sights such as the dramatic Kangaroo Point Cliffs and Brisbane’s historic Story Bridge, take in the views of the City Botanic Gardens along the river, or simply relax as you travel between vibrant precincts like South Bank and the newly revitalised Howard Smith Wharves.
The river isn’t just a physical feature; it’s the city’s pulse, offering endless opportunities for scenic journeys and waterfront dining.
Diversified collections
Housed within the beautifully revitalised City Hall, the Museum of Brisbane offers a captivating insight into the city’s past and present. It brings Brisbane’s art, culture and history to life through a variety of exhibitions, events, workshops, tours and activities.
Its collection includes more than 9,000 historical ceramics, along with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks and cultural objects that celebrate collaboration and connection with the city’s First Nations peoples.
The museum also houses the renowned Easton Pearson Archive, featuring more than 3,300 signature garments from the iconic Brisbane fashion label — one of the largest textile collections held by any Australian museum.
A visit here adds context to the sights you encounter along the Brisbane River and within the city centre, deepening your connection to Brisbane’s rich cultural identity and creative spirit.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveller, the Museum of Brisbane invites you to explore the many layers of the city’s story, making it an essential stop on any cultural journey.
Aquatic paradise
Easily accessible from Brisbane, Moreton Island (Mulgumpin) is a stunning aquatic paradise and a haven for wildlife.
As the third-largest sand island in the world, it forms the eastern boundary of Moreton Bay — a large, shallow, biologically diverse expanse of water.
Moreton Bay and its surrounding sand islands provide a vital feeding and resting point for over 50,000 migratory waders.
Over 180 species of birds have been recorded on the island, including seabirds, waders, forest-dependent birds and birds of prey. Among other wildlife, 40 reptile species and 11 native terrestrial mammals including six bat species, inhabit the island.
Additionally, 11 species of amphibians thrive in its freshwater lakes, creeks and swamps.
This pristine bay is home to a rich marine ecosystem, including dolphins, turtles, and dugongs. Visitors can explore this beautiful sand island, snorkel among shipwrecks, or simply enjoy a day of sailing on the crystal-clear waters.
The island offers a tranquil escape and a chance to witness the incredible natural wonders just off the coast, providing a perfect balance to urban adventures in Brisbane.
Gold Coast
A popular destination in its own right, the Gold Coast is celebrated for its golden beaches and coastal charm.
Visitors can relax on sandy shores, surf the waves or explore vibrant retail precincts, diverse dining options and lively nightlife.
The region is also home to world-famous theme parks and nearby tropical rainforests, offering a perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty.
Sports and recreation enthusiasts will find world-class facilities and countless outdoor activities to enjoy.
Whether for relaxation or adventure, the Gold Coast combines natural beauty and entertainment, making it a must-visit destination.
