Fun and engaging - Absolutely love these guys, and would love to try again next time I visit Cairns. Energetic, fun, and engaging, although the weather ruined a bit of it. They stay strong and positive attitude. True Blue Aussies!

One of the best time I’ve had for a long time - I would love to thank everyone at raging thunder particularly Karel our guide on the raft I was on for one of the best time I’ve ever had . From time you get picked on the bus with wonderful staff and reach the gorge and the professional setup as you get on the raft and the fun begins, I highly recommend for every one to try this and this great people and company thank you Karel for making this fun

Amazing first time river rafting experience - The most amazing first time experience for us! Convenient location from the town city, chill and easy going staff, great site for rafting. Although the rivers were a bit gentler than we expected, we were told they would be much more wilder especially after rain season! All in all, a great trip worthy of value P.S. Elliot was super fun and helpful, he offered to drive back to the hotel and return something of ours when we almost lost it on the raft!

Super fun! - This was great! The rapids were fun, but not too crazy - perfect for beginners. Everyone we interacted with was funny and kind but special shout-out to Ash who was a great guide even with no voice. Hope it gets better buddy.

Fantastic awesome afternoon - Pick up on time, our driver and bus guide Chris were awesome such a characters laughed all the way to the river. The instructions given were precise and simple to follow. They are repeated a few times along the river, for those who got too excited and weren't listening. Jack 21 was awesome and helped put us at ease and enjoy the experience he is an asset to the company. What a fantastic fabulous awesome afternoon highly recommend to any age 😀
