Easy to find by car, friendly helpful guides who explained everything before taking off. As a first-time 25yo solo found it was a really fun adventure. Would recommend to all.

As a novice to white water rafting this was a great experience. Rapids were not to severe, but challenging enough to get the adrenaline flowing. Marco was great clearly knew the river inside out and ensured everyone was safe. Highly recomneded

This is my second time going and my first time for my partner. We both had a great time. The guides are all very friendly and funny. Make it very enjoyable for all of us. Will definitely do when we come back again.

The activity is awesome and really good. All the guides were amazing . Shoes should be provided at no cost since paying quite a bit for the rafting.Make sure you have your gear ready for the activity as there are no changing facilities at the venue-also carry your food and drink as no facilities -Did one in Bali and it was much cheaper with food and drink available.

Awesome white water rafting experience in Cairns Fin was a great guide, got us out of some tricky spots Would be awesome if the guides were able to operate a remote controlled croc head to scare us

I enjoyed the trip very much. Alexia greeted us personally for each guest when we got on the shuttle bus. She is very warm and enthusiastic on the way to the launch zone. Rocky was our guide on the boat and he explained in details what to do. Overall, I had a very good time.
