Raging Thunder Adventures

Tully River Rafting

Cairns 12 hours

Australia’s premier white water rafting river, the Tully will see you conquering Grade 3 & 4 rapids as you carve your way through the spectacular gorge surrounded by pristine World Heritage Listed rainforest. Home to the 2019 World. Rafting Championships, the Tully River has earned its reputation as a world-class river offering plenty of thrills and adrenaline-pumping action.

Same Hard Core Rafting Adventure, Just a different time. Why? The Tully River is an integral part of clean, green energy production, thanks to the operations of the 88 MW Kareeya Hydro. They vary the water release time pending capacity, production and volume which means we vary our Tully rafting itinerary in line with them. This ensures you’ll have the very best possible rafting experience. This itinerary includes a hearty pub dinner. If self-driving, the meeting point is the Feluga Hotel.
