Tully River Full-Day White Water Rafting
Overview
Available languages
The Tully River hosted the International Rafting Federation’s 2019 World Rafting Championships. This world class river provides a pinnacle rafting experience, with over 40 rapids ripping down through the stunning rainforest gorge surrounds. Classified as a Grade 4/5 river, the Tully provides one hell of a wild ride which ticks all the boxes for those seeking the ultimate Australian rafting adventure!
We have two Tully River itineraries, check them out below, which are exactly the same except for departure times. The Tully River is a Hydro River and we’re informed on water release, which determines when we run.

5.0Our family had such a fun day with Raging thunder. The guides, drivers, and photographers all staff are professional and seem to enjoy their jobs. I highly recommend for everyone to purchase their photos, which were a complete bargain. The photographer went above and beyond for good angles and the photos look epic! Eli, Ash, Benand Tom thank you so much.
