About the Story Bridge Adventure Climb

Experience one of Brisbane’s most iconic activities as you ascend the renowned Story Bridge. With several times available—dawn, daytime, twilight or night—there’s a climb to suit every kind of adventurer. From the bridge’s summit, marvel at panoramic vistas that stretch from the Glass House Mountains to Moreton Bay. This experience is suited for most fitness levels, making it a must-do for families, friends and solo travellers alike.

Preparation and Briefing

Your journey begins at the Story Bridge base camp, where seasoned guides equip you with all the necessary climbing gear. A comprehensive briefing covers safety essentials, climbing techniques and what to expect during your adventure. All belongings will be safely stored in provided lockers before you set off.

The Climb Experience

Start your ascent with a gentle climb up a spiral staircase, then take to the elevated walkway above the bustling roadways. The route leads adventurers towards the southern end of the bridge, where a steeper section awaits. At the summit, you’ll be greeted by spectacular 360-degree city and river views—a rewarding sight at any hour. Breathe in Brisbane’s landscape, spot landmarks in the distance and soak up the vibrant urban atmosphere from a unique vantage point high above the city.

Capture the Moment

Halfway across the river, pause for a group photograph arranged by your guide, so everyone can take home a keepsake. Individual photos are also available for purchase after your climb. Whether you’re looking for a family outing, a team-building activity or simply a new way to admire Queensland’s capital, the Story Bridge climb offers a memorable perspective.

Flexible Climb Options

Choose the time that suits you best. Each climb delivers a different mood—watch the sunrise over Brisbane, soak in the city sunlight, experience golden twilight or discover the magic of the illuminated cityscape after dark as the bridge’s LED lights add extra colour to your adventure. After your climb, make the most of your visit by taking the complimentary ferry from Kangaroo Point to Howard Smith Wharves, cruising right underneath the bridge you just conquered.
