5.00Short drive from Cairns. Beautiful scenery. About 1.5 hrs tubing the river. Fun, friendly guides! Most age groups and abilities can enjoy!
Something different and a lot of fun!

4.00It was good fun but the river was quite low at this time of year so wasn’t very free flowing and got stuck a few times. Also got stung for water taxes and water shoes weren’t Included. Both had to be paid for as extras. The guy also forgot I needed the toilet on way back!
Nice trip for first time or young families - but take your own photos!

3.00I was cool - had expected a bit more action based on the Selling text and the introduction from the guide - it was really calm but nice. The waterfalls were really small so you did not get that exited. We were strongly adviced to reconsider bringing own cameras because of the risk - and they would take loads of pictures! First the risk was really not that big if you would have sealed it in waterproff materials - and second the pictures from our group was really poor - Long distance no group photos and hard to see us - so I really regret not bringing our own. The guides seemed to he great friends and most interested in taking alone and get the job done - so very little engagement in the group - probably resulting in really poor photos ! But nice trips maybe for Young families of they bring own cameras!
Easy online booking, good...
