5.00So this was a very different experience than our previous canyoning experience. Here there were several high jumps, crazy slides (sometimes upside down & usually a lot of dunking you under), and 1 (short) rappel. Just note that there is no rappel inside a waterfall (which was our expectation & previous experience). It was a lot of work swimming against the current sometimes as well. The crew was fantastic! They really cared about your safety & that you were having fun. The photos were great too! And the gear kept you insulated against the cold water. Bonus that it included pick up & drop off. It was a fun adventure for our last day on Cairns!
So much fun!!

5.00Totally worth the money! Luke and Wolf showed us how to jump, slide and rappel down this river of boulders!! The water was crisp but the wet suit kept us warm and it was so much fun! Our 14 year old son loved it!! We also learned a bit about sugar cane and it’s toads and the ecosystem here around Cairns.

5.00We had a small group of 3. Dom was the best guide, having grown up in the area and been with the company for 11 years. He showed us how to have fun, jumping off cliffs, rappelling, sliding down rocks and drifting in the river rapids, while making sure everything was done safely. Afterwards, he gave us beers and let us meet the company dog, “Boofhead.” The photos of our adventure reflected how much we enjoyed this adventure and would come back and do the other more challenging course. Highly recommended!
Must do in cairns!!!!
