Taking our maiden voyage with Brisbane’s favourite outdoor adventure centre

Brisbane icon Riverlife Adventure Centre celebrated 20 years of outdoor experiences with the ultimate birthday bash in September 2024.

From sending influencers on riverside cycling adventures and hosting media on sunset kayaks to securing event listings and hosting TV media calls, Aruga was delighted to join the Riverlife team for this momentous milestone.
