River Tubing
Raft
Cairns’ original half day tubing tours operate in two of the best rainforest locations in town, Behana Gorge and the Mulgrave River. We’ll pick the best one to maximize your fun, pending conditions at the time of travel.
Tubing is a fun, safe water activity, which combines adventure and action, set amongst towering trees, on freshwater streams.
Behana Gorge is billed as a locals’ secret, it’s where we come to play and get away. Think stunning natural rainforest, an arching canopy of trees and gently tumbling cold waters and you’re almost there. The Mulgrave River provides small, fun rapids and a lovely natural backdrop.
Highlights:
- Beautiful rainforest
- Towering trees, ferns

They vary the water release time pending capacity, production and volume which means we vary our Tully rafting itinerary in line with them.

Barron River Rafting
Raft
The beautiful Barron Gorge National Park is only 20 minutes from the centre of Cairns.
It’s known for its rugged rainforest mountains, steep ravines, the mighty Barron Falls and of course, Barron Gorge, which has been carved out over thousands of years by the Barron River.
This is where we do our half-day white water rafting tour, on the ebb and flow of the Barron River, as it snakes its way down from the mountains and heads out to the Coral Sea. This is a scenic rafting/rainforest adventure that combines calm water floating with a series of white water rapids for adventure and action.
The Barron River Half Day Tour is a fantastic introduction to White Water Rafting. It’s fun, exciting and exhilarating, suitable for all the family*. Enjoy up to two hours rafting, on up to grade 3 rapids followed by tea & coffee while you view photos of your rafting adventure. Access to changing facilities at the end of the tour are available for Raging Thunder guests.
Our rafts carry up to seven passengers plus your river guide. No experience necessary.
Let our guides entertain you on this spectacular river, offering guaranteed water levels year-round!
