GoBoat Canberra Is Throwing the Ultimate NYE Party… on Lake Burley Griffin!

If you’re still deciding what to do for New Year’s Eve in Canberra, we've got you covered! Cancel the group chat debate because GoBoat Kingston is hosting a dazzling NYE experience on Lake Burley Griffin, and it’s the place to be when the countdown begins.

This isn’t your average “find a patch of grass and hope you can see fireworks” kind of night. This is your own boat, your favourite people floating with you, and front-row fireworks!

Start the Night the GoBoat Way

Kick off at Kingston Foreshore with a quick 6:15pm check-in and briefing, then cruise out at 6:30pm like the effortlessly iconic group you are. You’ll have 1 hour and 45 minutes to vibe on the East Basin with snacks flowing, tunes playing, and soaking up the New Year's Eve spirit.

Then… The Fireworks. Up Close... Really Close

At 8:30pm, we’re gathering every boat at Queen Elizabeth Terrace for exclusive access to the best NYE vantage point in Canberra. When the 9pm fireworks launch, you won’t just see them, you’ll be amongst them. The reflections on the water, the energy, the crowd cheering from the shore… it’s an unbeatable moment you won’t get anywhere else.

And When the Show Ends? Your Night Is Wide Open

After the fireworks conlcude, we’ll dock at Queen Elizabeth Terrace so you can roll straight into whatever midnight adventure you’ve got planned:

✨ Visit a nearby bar like Margot or the Jetty!
✨ Stay for the later shows on the shore!
✨ Wander along the lake and soak up the vibes wandering past local food vans and stalls on offer!
