  • 5Must try! I had such a...

    Must try! I had such a wonderful time river tubing with my friends. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a mix of peaceful moments, a little bit of chaos and adventure. Floating through the rainforest was beautiful and calming, while some parts were exciting enough to keep things interesting. Such a fun and memorable experience surrounded by nature :)

  • 3Enjoyable but slow

    Enjoyable but a lot of people and had to either wait around or avoid others in the river. Not particularly fast flowing so not for the thrill seeker!

About Cairns & the Tropical North

Cairns is the gateway to Far North Queensland, with the Great Barrier Reef offshore, Daintree rainforest to the north and the Atherton Tablelands inland.

Cairns sits on Trinity Bay between the sea and a wall of forested ranges. The Esplanade has a public saltwater swimming lagoon and a long boardwalk beside mudflats where wading birds feed, and the Botanic Gardens hold tropical plants and a rainforest boardwalk. The city is the departure point for boats to the Great Barrier Reef, including the coral cay of Green Island and the rocky Fitzroy Island, and for flights over the reef.
