Let The Behana Gorge River Tubing Adventure Begin
Perfect for solo travellers, groups, families, and friends young and old, this new Cairns river tubing tour is ‘the most fun you can have while floating’ – no previous experience required!
Our Behana Gorge tours are usually conducted in the morning however an afternoon trip is available pending demand and guest numbers. Just another fun thing to do in Cairns!
Cairns’ original half day river tubing tour is ‘the most fun you can have while floating’! Travelling to either Behana Gorge or the Mulgrave River, you will spend two fun and delightful hours soaking up the sights, sounds and smells of the rainforest and the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Perfect any time of the year, the Green Season is particularly amazing as there is more water in the creeks and the weather is warmer so it’s a perfect way to cool down.
Cairns Rainforest River Tubing is a fun, safe water activity and you’ll be provided with tuition and all necessary safety equipment to ensure you’re comfortable and confident in the water.
You will be picked up from your Cairns or Northern Beaches accommodation bright and early at 7:45am for your half day tour floating down a pristine creek surrounded by lush tropical rainforest.
The journey from Cairns to Behana Gorge or the Mulgrave River is approximately 40 minutes and once on the water you will have 2 hours of river tubing to enjoy before the journey home.
Floating down with the calm currents on a professional, high-quality, twin-chamber tube you will tackle some fun grade 1 and grade 2 rapids, enough for a bit of fun and excitement but nothing too scary or serious for kids or less water-confident people.
A minimum of two professional, certified river guides are present on every tour to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time throughout the day.
Behana Gorge
A bit of a local’s secret, Behana Gorge is a truly stunning location made up of a beautifully clear freshwater creek coursing its way through lush tropical rainforest as it flows down from the mountaintops, marked by huge, smooth boulders along the way.
An archway of tree branches above the lower portion of the creek forms a natural tunnel and provides shade and a perfect place to get a few holiday photos to make your friends back home jealous.
Mulgrave River
The Mulgrave River is another beautiful waterway that traces its way through the rainforest between the cane farms south of Cairns.
The river provides small, fun rapids and a beautiful natural backdrop for the day. If Behana Creek does not have enough water the tour will run on the Mulgrave River.
Journey Back To Your Cairns and Cairns Northern Beaches holiday Accommodation
Once you and your river tubing group have made their way back to the bus, you'll enjoy a morning tea of juice and biscuits before jumping back onboard the coach and making your way back to Cairns.
River tubing on the Mulgrave River is a safe, exciting way to view some of the off the beaten track areas of the beautiful Cairns landscapes and we're sure you'll arrive back at your accommodation wanting more!
