Relaxing float down the river in Cairns, great way to escape the heat.
Picked up in comfy air conditioned buses, relaxing trip down the river in a beautiful setting only about 30mins from Cairns. Was a little on the slow side, wish there was few more rapids as they were fun but floating down fresh water on a hot day was very nice anyway.
Very nice day out, pick up from the hotel, nice guys to go with
Nice and friendly tour guide, fun activity for the whole family, 1 hour from cairns city, around 90 minutes in the water, safe and fun. Will do again. Remember to bring a big towel to get change in, as there's no change room there. Half day tour nice and smooth.

This is a good fun activity for the family with young kids
I highly recommend this activity to the family with younger kids. This was our alternative option for water activity as my younger boy has not reached the minimum age requirement for water rafting. But we all had great fun and spent good around 2 hours on the river. There is levy charge of $15 per person and shoe rental is also available if needed. Bring some cash with you so you can avoid being charged for CC surcharge.
