A perfect way to spend the day!
River tubing was such a fun and relaxing experience. Floating down the river through beautiful rainforest was the perfect mix of calm and adventure, with gentle rapids that added excitement without being overwhelming. The guides were fun, friendly, and professional, safe and well organised. All equipment was provided (even a snack at the end!). A great activity for families, couples, or anyone wanting to enjoy Cairns’ natural beauty in a fun, easygoing way. Definitely worth doing.
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.
