5.0Love these guys. Easy for beginners but if you're younger it's better to try the hazard 4 rapids they have on offer.
A bit of a mess on the Barron Gorge

3.0Poorly organised and a lot of time wasted. No guidance from leader on tour. Too many people on tour which resulted in a less enjoyable experience and a level of chaos. Seems to be a little greed in place on the part of the Cairns Adventure Group. Focusing too much on getting high numbers of participants rather than giving a smaller number a quality experience. The gorge was beautiful and the rapids fun and exciting, and the raft guides focused on safety.
Down down river down

3.0Organization was good. Transportation on time and good quality of the bus. Boats great, safety equipment was of good quality as well. Many precautions were taken to pass the dangerous rapids, like having two guides per boat. This was good, nevertheless the waiting time beside the river was a bit long and boring. In general was a good nature to see, fun and very professional people.
Amazing adventure
