AI summary of 14 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge, alongside their friendly and supportive approach that makes both first-timers and experienced paddlers feel confident and safe. The stunning scenery of the Tully Gorge and rainforest setting stands out most frequently, with the balance of exciting rapids and more relaxed paddling sections providing an adventurous experience that does not feel overwhelming. A small number of travellers note practical considerations: water levels can be low at the end of the dry season, the drive to the meeting point requires careful attention to map instructions, and March flies and sun exposure are worth preparing for with appropriate clothing.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
We've just had a wonderful half day with these guys, professional, fun and supportive of us amateur paddlers. Great value, and adventurous and challenging without being terrifying.
We did the half day rafting and absolutely recommend it. The guides were really enthusiastic, experienced and knew a lot about the area.
I had the best half day rafting with Lila as our guide. She made us feel confident and we had loads of fun.
We had the best time white water rafting. It rained, but the scenery was gorgeous and the team were friendly and clearly knew their stuff. We were nervous at first and fell in on the first rapid, but felt safe and had an incredible morning.
I did the half day rafting, my first time ever, and it was amazing. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and put me at ease, and the Tully Gorge is stunning.
My wife, our two teenage boys and I did a half day rafting trip on the Tully River, with great, supportive guides. Tip: wear leggings to keep the March flies and sun off.
