Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was really great experience. The guides(Jay and Kai) are so kind and so co-operative. We tried tubing for a first time and it was much more greater than what I expected. The river was so beautiful as well. Highly reccomend.

The guides were great and the experience was exhilarating. Big tubes with bottom inserts and sturdy handles. The only negative was having to stop the bus for 20 minutes so everyone could register on-line before we left internet coverage. And several people needed help with the process. Go back to old fashioned paper on clipboards, which require not connections.

Thank you for your feedback. Seems like the tour on the water was the best part of the day ,as it should be. However, every guest needs to do their safety waiver for the tour and some guests may need help if they cant complete the checkin sent from the day before. We do this to eliminate paper waste and as a certified eco approved business, we do strive to be as friendly to our environment as possible. Thank you again :)

RIVER TUBING
The experience itself was very good though we had issues with the organisation. We were told the pickup time was 7am. When we got to the pickup location we rang the helpline to double check we were in the right place and were told the pickup was 7.48am, then they didn't arrive till 8.20am. The girl on the bus was very rude and off hand. Without welcoming us she demanded in a rather agressive manner "who is settling your bill today" given we had already paid we were quite shocked by this. She was referring to the river charge which we were aware of. She used the same manner with others that joined at the next pick up location. We also had not been sent the email waiver form we should have completed before the trip, so had to do that on her tablet.

Once all on board she then proceeded to put the fear of god into us as to what was likely to happen to us. We would fall in, they would drag us out by the straps on the life vest,etc by the time she finished we thought we had signed up for the most horredous white water rafting experience and were seriously thinking about not going. (we were booked on the river tubing.) A number of people spoke to us and said the same. The girls also advised me not to take my waterproof camera as it was likely to get smashed on the rocks. As it happened we actually had a really enjoyable day and I was very disappointed not to have taken my camera as I could have got some lovely photos. I don't believe anyone fell in on the trip and there were over 50 of us. Far from the bleak picture the girl had painted, it was a nice leisurely experience.

Facilities wise there is nothing. When you finish you are basically on the edge of the road and there is nowhere to change, so you end up getting on the bus wrapped in your towel, wet. Luckily I had a bikini on - tip for the ladies - and managed to change my bottom half. My top half had only got a bit splashed so was able to put a dry t-shirt on top.

We decided to book the Mulgrave River Tubing trip in January-2024. It was Fantastic for our family. We have a mix of adventurous and non-adventurous people in our family, this tubing trip was great for all involved as it something that we all enjoyed. The staff were great, equipment was reliable and up to standard.
We would highly recommend. : -)

We had booked a full day Cape Tribulation / Rainforest tour, but due to the terrible damage done by Cyclone Jasper, our itinerary was modified. No worries - our tour guide, Oscar, was terrific and we enjoyed the Barron River Gorge, Port Douglass, a crocodile river cruise, and a cool drive through the rainforest. Great trip

What a great experience. We did a half day tubing trip. The rapids were higher than normal given the recent cyclone, but the team at Cairns Adventure Group took care of us. They gave us all the gear, helped us when we needed it and were very friendly from start to finish. Great family activity for an afternoon and highly recommended.
