About this tour
Two days combining whitewater rafting and rainforest exploration in Far North Queensland. Day one takes you down the Tully River's grade 3–4 rapids through World Heritage-listed forest, paddling under expert guidance. Day two shifts to the ancient Daintree, where you'll traverse boardwalks, cross the river by barge, and walk where rainforest reaches reef. Lunch and dinner included both days.
Highlights
- Grade 3–4 Tully River rapids through pristine rainforest
- Boardwalk trails through Daintree's old-growth canopy
- Spot cassowaries, crocodiles and native birdlife
- Daintree River crossing by traditional barge
- Rainforest-to-reef coastal vantage points

What to expect
Day one is physically demanding—expect a fast-paced river descent with continuous paddling through Class 3–4 rapids. You'll be wet, exhilarated and working as a team. Day two is gentler but no less engaging: walking subtropical forest boardwalks, spotting wildlife from a distance, and absorbing vast views where vegetation meets ocean. Both days run full-length; bring sun protection and arrive fit. The river levy ($35) covers environmental management and is collected on the day.
Good to know
Moderate to high fitness essential; not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Snacks and drinks are your responsibility. Wear quick-dry clothes and secure footwear. River conditions vary seasonally; confirm dates ahead.
