River Tubing Cairns Half-Day tour
This exhilarating 1.5-hour tubing tour in Cairns offers the opportunity to navigate some of the most picturesque rainforest rivers in the area. The Wet Tropics is 80 million years older than the Amazon, a vast swathe of pristine wilderness running from Cooktown in the state’s far north to Townsville in the south.
Not only will you glide over gentle rapids and relish the refreshing rainforest water, but you’ll also be surrounded by a stunning natural environment. The riverbanks are adorned with rainforest trees, while ferns and mosses flourish along the edges, and the river meanders over smooth pebbles and sandy beds.
With three different rivers to choose from each day, including the Mulgrave River, Little Mulgrave River, and Behana Gorge, all equally splendid, we will select the best option to maximize your fun based on the water flow on your tubing day.
