Experience Cairns White Water Tubing and Rafting
Fun family river activities
We did two tours on the same day. First up was river tubing and then white water rafting in the afternoon. Both were fantastic experiences led by our river guide Kyle and also Zac for the tubing. We got picked up from the northern beaches and the journey was comfortable. All in all, a great day. Thanks Kyle and Zac.

Barron River Rafting & Waterfall Tour - 2 Tours
Fantastic Barron River Cruise with rafter expert Jack
We had a fantastic Barron River Rafting Tour with our Guide Jack! Initially, I was rather nervous, but knowing Jack has over 15 years as a rafting guide, I was put at ease straight away. He gave clear instructions, and we worked as a team with our other rafters to enjoy a fun-filled trip down the river. We loved hearing Jack's stories; the scenic amber down the river at the end was just amazing. The whole team worked so well together to coordinate and execute all the rafters - we were so impressed! Great day - Great staff!

River Tubing
We did River Tubing on the Little Mulgrave River & it was amazing. The guides were great & we had so much fun. My 5yo didn’t want it to end.
