It was an amazing experience but there were a few quite elderly and intoxicated people on the trip which felt quite scary. The rapid bits are fun but you don’t want to be around people who can’t swim or move easily! The guides were amazing… handled everything well but it would have been much more enjoyable with fewer people (there was about 40 of us)
they are lovely crew and you will have lots of fun. If it gets a little late to be picked up just don’t get panicked because operator may forget to call and inform you. As you may know all your experience may be affected by other people who wanna attend the adventure but some of them are good. Some of them are booo. But good part is that adventure with those leaders is 10 stars and you will love it.
Relaxed morning out cruising along the river. Great staff who looked after us. Wear a sun shirt or similar and comfy swimwear’s as you do get wet!
Definitely a must do when visiting Cairns. Great guides who are super encouraging and experienced! Amazing for adults and kids 😀
Cheers for this awesome review!
We are 74 yet found it challenging and fun. All the group were fun and engaging. Well worth the experince
We're thrilled to hear this, Beverly! Come adventuring with us again soon :)
Make sure you bring a change of clothes and go to the bathroom before you go. No facilities available. Only the bush. Was a lovely experience in a lovely river with very good tour guides. I loved it❤️❤️
Thanks for this, Melissa :)
First time participating in a game like this and we really enjoyed it! Will definitely come again! shout out to team who polite and help us :)
We're thrilled you had a great time!
It was very relaxing. There was a bit of miscommunication involving pick up points. I waited and even received a txt saying that I would soon be picked up however received a phone call saying that the option I selected didn't apply on that particular day. So, luckily I had my own vehicle and was able to meet at another pick-up point. There was a bit of waiting around for the 2nd bus to arrive and a bit late to get back. But other than that the guides were very helpful, reassuring and made the exp really great.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re really glad to hear you found the tour relaxing and that our guides were helpful, reassuring, and contributed to making the day enjoyable. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion around the pick-up arrangements. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been—especially after receiving a confirmation message. We appreciate you being flexible and making your own way to an alternative location. We’ll be reviewing this with our team to ensure clearer communication moving forward. We also appreciate your patience with the waiting times and the later return. Thank you again for your feedback—it’s incredibly valuable and helps us continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back again for an even smoother experience next time.
We went with our children 10 & 8 years aswell as their grandparents. Was so much fun- beautiful experience. Lots of laughs, well worth the $$ - highly recommended.
Thanks so much for leaving us such a great review, Megan!
Super fun experience. Perfect balance between following safety procedures and flexibility. Friendly, chilled guides. Heaps of time on the water.
Cheers for this, Pete!
