Fantastic - 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.

Beautiful rainforest tour - 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.

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!

Relaxing Rainforest Tubing - 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 activity to do in Cairns. - 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.

Great fun for all age's - Staff were great, very chatty all the way. Answered everyone's questions, mainly are there crocodiles about, answer is No ! We laughed all the way along river, some bits fast but mostly it's slow going. Beautiful countryside. Would definitely recommend 👌

Great fun for all ages - Cracking way to spend half a day away from Cairns. We got to see the local scenery in a comfortable air-conditioned bus. Staff were brilliant and really helpful. The river trip made us smile the whole way. We did the trip as an add on to all the usual stuff you have to do in this part of the world and we are so glad we gave it a try. We are in our late 50s/early 60s and found it quite easy. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed 👍

river was so low travel... - 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.
