Tour not the best missed while in Cairns

5.00Expect fun, thrill, and a great guide! We had the best time with Dom taking us around the falls and down the River. The cliff jumping, swimming, sliding, and exploring was so much fun! Dom was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the tour. It’s a hidden locals spot, so we felt very privileged to get to experience it during our stay in Cairns!! 10/10 would recommend and would do it again. Do not miss this!
Simply brilliant! BEST activity of our week-long Cairns trip!

5.00Bazz and Dom were exceptional guides: safety-focused, knowledgeable, and so much fun throughout the trip. As the least confident member of our group, I really appreciated their thoughtfulness and encouragement. I felt safe tackling early challenges and quickly built confidence thanks to their supportive approach. The equipment provided was high quality, and the trip was very well organised. We purchased the helmet camera footage, which has excellent video and audio quality and is a fantastic keepsake of our epic adventure with the Cairns Canyoning team. Simply brilliant – I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!

5.00This experience was the best part of my visit to Australia. It was simple enough to join for the first time, but thrilling enough to ensure the adventure was most memorable.
Great outdoor fun for the whole family!

5.00Our family of five booked the early morning canyoning adventure at Behana Gorge. Canyoning has been on my to do list for a while & it didn’t disappoint! We managed to score a tour to ourselves (bonus!) & our guide Dom really bought the energy and vibe to the tour, making the day super fun whilst learning a bit of local knowledge and taking in some pretty spectacular views from a different angle. The canyoning itself was well planned and equipped and the activities were a perfect mix of adventure, challenge & chill. We felt safe throughout the whole journey. Definitely recommend using this company!
Fun but exhausting afternoon

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.
Don’t miss the most fun way to see Cairns by land

5.00This was a fun exciting way to see a gorgeous side of Cairns. Luke and Thomas made sure we were safe while having a blast! You feel like Laura Croft Tomb Raider; it’s a great way to see a beautiful canyon with waterfalls and swimming holes. Do not miss this adventure!
Amazing canyoning at Behana Falls

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!!!!
