We did the half day, and it was a decent experience. Its a pretty quick trip, but thats expected based on what's advertised. Unfortunately it's almost too short to really get into it. It takes a while for people without much rafting experience to get confident in even the basics, so while you do get to paddle a fair share,... More

Wow, so much fun!! Its worth the $200 for the day. We had a great guide for the day which made it an awesome experience. The rapids were fairly easy with a few good drops which made it really good. The RnR Rafting team were very professional and made sure we had a safe day. On the down side, don't... More

the Tully rafting is good fun. the photos are over priced, $100 for the usb stick with photos is too much, even if shared by 2 families. food is so-so, expected better for $200. More

My friend & I booked a half day/ afternoon tour on the Baron river. The guides were friendly & provided good safety & general rafting instruction. Our raft guide, Riley, was really experienced. Fortunately (I think) the river was really full from recent rain (apparently at 6.9m & the cancel once it gets to 7m) so the rapids were quite... More

This is one of the best things we did in Australia, it is a full day trip from Cairns to the Tully river, lunch is included in the form of a BBQ, you can hire shoes if you don't have appropriate footwear or don't want to get your trainers wet. The staff are friendly and good fun. You can buy... More

RnR and Raging Thunder seem to have merged and are now one company. I went down the Tully River with them. The river was great with exciting rapids and even a tall rock to jump off. Unfortunately, the staff left a little something to be desired. Our guide was pleasant, but didn't really add anything to the trip. The guy... More

My friends and I booked a hotel in Mission Beach to stay the night before the White Water Rafting in Tully River. We were then picked up by RnR at 7.30am, and arrived at the meeting point by 8.30am. By 9am, we were on a bus on the way to the starting point of the rafting trip. We were then... More

We had a great time on on our rafting adventure. The guides are very experienced and a lot of fun, they will make sure you get soaking wet. If you've been rafting before or it's you're first time, it a must do while you are there. More

Super fun time! We got upgraded to the Xtreme version of the Full Day Tully River Rafting. Our guide, Ash, was awesome. Had a blast getting out of the raft to jump from rocks, go down rapids and float down natural "water slides." The company is well organized. It is a LONG day though and renting the wetsuit is highly... More
