River Tubing
We did River Tubing on the Little Mulgrave River & it was amazing. The guides were great & we had so much fun. My 5yo didn’t want it to end.
Response from the operator: It makes us so happy to hear that the tour was amazing and that your 5 yo did not want it to end! We hope to see you all back on the river soon :)

Exuberant adventure on the river
We had only half a day left the next day before we departed. We walked in to an adventure happy travels booth which we were passing by. The attendant was quick to reassure us that she could arrange something for us. She suggested River tubing with a 10 year old and 16 year old together with my wife. That sounded fun and the brochures painted a wonderful picture what we can expect. The nest day the Cairns Adventure Group personnel were on time to pick us up from our hotel Novotel Oasis Resort. After picking up a few others we ventured out to the river. During the ride, Zack the person in charge was explaining to us about the adventure and the Do’s and don’ts in a funny and jovial manner captivating his audience. Of course he ensured that the pertinent points were understood by all of us. He and his team of two girls; Laura and Dorothy took Greta care of us and after splitting us into teams we ventured out into the river enjoying nature and comprehensive explanations given by the guides. All the guides had ensured that we knew the safety protocols thoroughly before heading out. The weather and the speed of the water in the river were perfect. We had a few wow moments as the rapids at certain points were a tad faster adding to the excitement we all had. There was also a chance for us to have a dip in the river. It was so refreshing as the sun beat on us through the sparse canopy formed by the natural vegetation. It was simply beautiful and we all had an enjoyable time. We had snacks provided by the team at the end and went home having a sense of great satisfaction. Kuddos to the Team! Tank you once again; Zack, Laura and Dorothy!
Response from the operator: It makes us so happy to hear reviews like this! We are so glad to hear that you had a wonderful trip and got to meet some awesome guides :) We hope you and your family join us for some more adventures in the future!

Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairns & the Tropical North.
How much does Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairns & the Tropical North usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairns & the Tropical North is not rushed.
Is Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairns & the Tropical North, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairns & the Tropical North can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairns & the Tropical North and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainforest River Tubing and Cairns Jetboating for 1 Day 2 Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairns & the Tropical North within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairns & the Tropical North experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fun, Falls and Forest Day Trip from Cairns, Passions of Paradise Great Barrier Reef Cruise by Catamaran, Tully River Full-Day Rafting: Cairns, Mission Beach or Self-Drive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
