About this excursion
Brace yourself for one of the most intense and exhilarating experiences in Tropical North Queensland— white-water rafting on the mighty Tully River. This full-day adventure plunges you into the heart of Tully Gorge National Park, where fast-flowing water, rugged terrain and rainforest collide to create the ultimate rafting challenge.
Led by expert guides, you’ll spend up to 3 hours charging through powerful Grade 3-4 rapids, tackling steep drops, and navigate swirling currents that will keep your adrenaline pumping from start to finish.
After conquering the river, wind down with a well-earned pub dinner, swap stories with your crew, and relive the day’s epic moments. If you're chasing serious thrills, this is the adventure that delivers.
