White Water Rafting, Tully River (near Cairns)
We’ve been told that white water rafting on the world-class Tully River is a must-do for thrill adventure seekers and for white water rafting enthusiasts. The white water rafting on the Tully River is rated moderate to challenging, offering mainly grade 3 and 4 rapids.
In the remote World Heritage Rainforest, the Tully River winds through dramatic gorges, rushing waterfalls and untouched ancient rainforest.
It’s recommended that you get on a tour for the full day at no more than $150 or a half day at $85. Most of the different tour companies will be able to pick you up from the house. Or you can depart from Cairns city centre, travelling to the upper gorge of the Tully River just 2 hours south of Cairns or you can catch The Sunlander or Tilt Train to Tully yourself.
Those that have been strongly recommend that you take the following items:
- Lace-up runners/sandshoes plus an extra pair for afterwards
- Swimmers
- Shorts and t-shirt
- Sunscreen, cap/hat
- Towel
- Dry change of clothes for the trip home
- Jumper/pullover
- Sunglasses and strap
Another tip is to eat before you start rafting and remember there’s no point taking your camera - as you can’t take it with you on the rapids.
Our final advice is that this is a MUST on your visit to the Far North Queensland!!!
