Cairns: Behana Gorge Rainforest Canyoning Tour
Description
There is no other canyoning experience like this in Australia. Behana Gorge is the real thing: natural rock slides, cliff jumps, and abseiling down granite walls inside World Heritage rainforest, 30 minutes from Cairns CBD. Your 5-hour adventure runs through cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear pools inside Wooroonooran National Park. Every jump, slide, and abseil is optional. Your guide reads the group from the start and adjusts accordingly. First-timers, families, and adrenaline seekers all leave satisfied. Groups are capped at 10 per guide. Your guide knows your name, watches your confidence, and pushes you at the right moments. All gear provided: wetsuit, thermal top, helmet, harness, and life vest. Routes are selected daily based on water levels. Behana is the only canyoning tour in Australia operating year-round. Suitable for ages 8 to 80. Return shuttle from Cairns CBD included.
