    We had an incredible time tubing through the rainforest river in Cairns. Even though the river was a bit low which is completely out of their control the experience was still relaxing, scenic, and really enjoyable. A huge shout-out to the guides: Jackie, Lura, Tom, and Andrew (I hope I got everyone right!). They were all friendly, helpful, and made the whole trip fun and safe. The views along the river were absolutely fantastic, calm, lush, and peaceful. We loved just cruising down surrounded by rainforest. Overall, a beautiful experience and definitely recommended! 🌿💧🛶

    Really enjoyed tubing down the river, the guides were all fantastic and very helpful around the rapids. Felt completely safe all the time, enjoyed the surroundings and all the noises of the rainforest, saw the most brilliant blue butterflies.

    This was a great day out well organised bit confusing on pick up times but we eventually got there. The equipment was good. You need to either rent shoes for five dollars or take them. You need a glass strap. If you wear glasses you can purchase them on the bus The crew are really helpful and thorough. I really like Jacqui who is very good at looking after everyone and friendly and drove the bus the view along the river is nothing but spectacular with beautiful rainforest. Clearwater lovely and cool. You have to get dressed in your helmet and lifejacket and sit in thetube which can be a little difficult. It is a little bit hard on your neck because of the angle, but the view is worth it.

  • One of my top days during vacation!

    river was so low travel on a tube for anyone weighing more than 50 kilos was scraping the river bottom for a good portion. guides were very friendly. poor communication on pickup time. email said 1:15. a phone call to the company at 1:30 informed that the pickup was actually 2:00. IMO, they should not take your money for the experience. i would recommend the trip if the water level was verifiable for a true float. certainly for all ages.

  • Loved it!

    It's both a relaxing and exciting adventure! The rapids are only level 1-2, so they make it so much fun 😄 In between the rapids parts, you just float gently. It's wonderful and the guides are great!

    Loved cruising down the clear rainforest river in a small group—peaceful, scenic, and fun. Taking personal photos with my phone in a water pouch was a great touch! The water was low, so a few rocks slowed us down, but it made the journey feel playful and calm. Nature all around was stunning. A beautiful way to unwind.

  • Great mix of relaxing and fun

    This was a great half day activity in Cairns. It was amazing cruising down the river on a humid day under the canopy of the trees. Our guides were Lexi and Dorothy and everything was so easy. There hadn't been much rain so the river was a little slower than I would expect but being in nature was amazing. We had a great mix of ages in our group but it wasn't too hard for anyone. A fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Cairns.
