Tully River Rafting Excursion - Tour from Cairns

price $150.71 (per person)
Why book this experience

  • The tour is led by expert guides
  • Enjoy a BBQ lunch on the river banks
  • Experience the thrill of white water rafting in the stunning rainforest
  • Book in confidence – our local partners are highly rated by users of Trip Advisor

Experience the thrill of Grade 4 rapids as you raft down the Tully river. Trained guides will make this experience truly memorable.

While some other rivers in the area are subject to very high or low water levels, a hydroelectric plant far upstream on the Tully regulates the water flow to keep it at consistent levels.

You will love the beautiful scenery of the World Heritage rainforest, exciting adrenalin-inducing rapids and great food. Prior rafting experience is not necessary, your enthusiasm is!

Itinerary

You will be picked up early morning from your centrally located hotel in Cairns or Northern Beaches and proceed towards the Tully River rafting point in an air conditioned vehicle. Don your safety gear and receive instructions and safety guidelines.

You will have trained guides steering inflatable rafts to help, guide and power the raft down the river. Tackle 12 kilometres of river winding through the World Heritage Rainforest. You’ll experience 44 rapids graded between 3 and 4 by the Australian Whitewater Rafting Grading System.

Enjoy a BBQ lunch along with cold drinks.
