Tour Information: Your white water raft contains 6 people plus a local Cairns white water rafting river guide; many of your fellow white water river rafters are first timers so no experience is necessary. You will get a bit wet, but this is great fun! This is a dam controlled river, allowing consistent supplies of water all year round so this Cairns white water rafting tour operates daily. A professional photographer accompanies each tour, providing top quality rafting photographs for purchase. The minimum age to do this tour is 13 years. 

If you have children aged 6-12 years, you are welcome to try FAMILY RAFTING, which uses the lower grade 1-2 rapids. 8 person rafts & 2 person sports rafts are used.
