Great team and experience

Tom and Seb were super easy going larrikins, that made our experience really enjoyable. we listened to some great stories about the region along the way and although the experience was only 2 hrs, the nature and the activity was just very entertaining. But you do need to be able to be confident in the water as the last rapid was quite tumbling
Awesome day on the river...

This is something totally different and a unique experience. The scenery and staff are great. Never thought I would jump off a bridge or sit in a tube and go down rapids
Great experience to be had in Cairns

Was a great time totally loved it and would do it again.
However, we spent 2 hours doing pick up and 2 hours drop off so a half day experience was really a2 hour ride on the water.
Response from Host , May 2022
We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your Tubing tour although we're sorry that the time spent doing pick ups & drop offs impacted your enjoyment, unfortunately on days when our guests are spread out it can cause extended time on the bus. Thanks for traveling with us, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the region.
Fun fun fun with a little relaxation

Exciting tube ride

Did not attend.
Sam_C

The terms stipulate that this experience requires good weather. Yet ironically, the event still went ahead despite very poor weather conditions. We weren’t able to attend as the rain tends to trigger my asthma so the ticket fees were forfeited.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Thanks for your feedback, we're sorry to hear you weren't able to join the tour. The 'good weather' we require to operate our Tubing tour relates to safe river levels not rain, if it's raining and the river is at a safe level the tour still operates.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the region.
A first step experience

A great intro or first step towards white water activities. Perfect for families with kids 10 and up. Lively, entertaining guides and a beautiful location.
Unfortunately however there were 75 people on our trip, this group size felt too large and created a fair amount of waiting - 50 would have been more manageable for the guides and resulted in more time on the water for everyone.
Best day ever!

Loved it. :)

Such a memorable day and very enjoyable. A great activity to do with kids and friends. The Guides were very helpful and they made the trip fun with facts about the area and jokes as well.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
