Indy for a day! - Floating down the river was great. Reminds me of Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. Just be aware of the surrounding trees and rocks.

Beautiful slow tubing adventure - Great family experience if you have young children. We are older and still had a nice time. Kept thinking our grandchildren would enjoy this.

lazy afternoon, simple joys of life - its for families with young kids or people who cannot do high grade rapids experience. Its had grade 1 rapids. They provide tubes. though under the lush green rainforest tubing with river water is fun.

It was alright - The tour lead Dhalia was great. We had to wait for a group that did not show up, and she managed the group well by giving us a max time that we would wait before we take off. She was also clear with the day itinerary and safety instructions. The tubing experience itself though good, but fall short a little off expectations. We booked because there's a pick up at Palm Cove, but was contacted later on that there's no pick up over the weekend outside of the city. Lots of manual assist by the tour guides when water wasn't flowing and where the rapids were, just because water was too shallow. Sandals with strap at the back will do. There's no place to change, so either you get in the bus wet or change by the side of the road. Light snack consist of a packet drink and an U.Toby's granola bar.
