The absolute best don't hesitate just go, Leon and Stephan were brilliant rafting guides would do a full day in future ❤️❤️❤️

We had an absolute blast on the Tully with Wildside Adventures, big shout out to Leon for his enthusiasm to teach us about the river and his clear and easy to follow advice about rafting. We felt totally safe and confident following Leon down the river. Definitely recommend the full day trip with this company if you want to get the hang of handling a raft yourself! Thanks team!!

We did the half day trip and it was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Expect to end up in the water at some point so wear clothing you don’t mind getting wet.

We were two 72 year olds with good health and fair fitness. With great instruction we embarked on an awesome experience. Exhausted but still smiling even though we did fall out at one stage. But with the help from the instructor we were off and running again. Great experience

If you're looking for an exciting adventure for family with young kids in Cairns, I highly recommend Wildside Adventures. My experience with this company was truly great, and it was all thanks to our amazing coach team, John and Ashley, as well as the manager Allan, who had taken great effort and made arrangement for our family to make it happened. John and Ashley made us feel welcome and excited for the day ahead. They were experienced, friendly As we have young kids coming with us, they always put safety first. They made sure we were properly equipped with gear and gave us a thorough safety briefing before we hit the rapids. John and Ashley were excellent at navigating the raft and keeping us safe, while also making sure we had a blast. Throughout the trip, they shared interesting facts about the surrounding landscape and wildlife, making the experience even more enjoyable and educational for kids. Overall, I would highly recommend Sports Rafting to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Cairns. And if you're lucky enough to have John and Ashley as your coach, you're in for a real treat! They truly made our day one we'll never forget.

We had such a great day on the Tully Gorge with Wildside! If you’re looking for a safe and exciting adventure that puts you in the heart of nature, look no further. Ashlea and John were very thorough when it came to the safety briefing, before heading down the Tully Gorge. Through a series of 16 different rapids (each one different from the next), the birds and butterflies followed us down the river the whole way, while we took in all the sights, smells and sounds. This tour will spark your adrenaline and tickles all the senses and should not be missed if you’re in the Mission Beach and surrounding area. Very reasonably priced, with friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff has us giving this trip all the stars it deserves. A big thanks to Allen for setting this up and making us feel like family the whole way through. Thank you Wildside, we will be back for sure!

What an experience! Woaw! We loved it! The rafting was so much fun and you get a great view from the river of the nature around you as well! The instructur was very clear when giving information and we were not worried if any Thing went wrong! Big recommendation :D

We booked for this with our two grandsons aged 9 and 11, we are in our sixties, and none of us had any experience. Our leader Leon was great, as were the two other guides Tash and Ash. The other people who were on the trip were clearly more experienced. Would i do it again? Absolutely not. For us oldies the trip was beyond us, we had neither the skill or technique required to advance through quite turbulent water (grade 2/3) of the rapids, fortunately we had already made the decision to ask the instructors to take one grandson each, which was a wise decision. We made it through the first quite gentle rapid, but at the next one the ‘Washing Machine’ we came off almost immediately and then were pulled pushed and shoved for a long time being bounced of rocks, pulled into eddies, the flow was so fast we could get into the recovery position, eventually we were rescued, but I was pooped, cut bruised and with a swollen knee and ankle. One of my grandson’s and his instructor also came out of the boat on the same rapid, but he was quickly rescued by her. At that point we wanted to stop, but …….You can’t get off! So we managed to get to the end, me squeezed in the middle of the instructor and my younger 9 year old grandson. At the end it was clear that everyone else had a great time, and I stress we were looked after, but there is a moral here, please don’t do this if you haven’t done this before and are older adults, more importantly do not have young children in your boat if you are inexperienced or a greenhorn! Always put them with a instructor. If they had been in our boats, neither my husband and I could have rescued my grandchildren we couldn’t save ourselves. Moreover both grandsons were scared we were going to die and this frightened them. Can’t fault Leon, Tash and Ash for looking after us once we were rescued, and the other group who were experienced has a fab time. But we learnt a valuable lesson, and I dread to think what might have happened had we had one grandson each in our two man boat.

I took the inflatable kayak trip down the river in November. Unfortunately the water levels were low. We did spend a lot of time pushing the kayaks off the river rocks. But I did enjoy the trip. It was fun being out on the River and rolling down the rapids. The water is very warm so it’s not intimidating to get wet or step out of the kayak to cool off. The trip was a good physical workout so this activity is not for the fickle. It’s a solid upper body workout that leaves you breathless at times especially when your kayak gets lodged between two rocks in a set of rapids. So if you have a bad back or sore knees, don’t try this. The rapids are scary to look at but really are not that difficult to run. Just point the boat into the main channel and paddle hard. It is surprisingly easy and fun if you hit the fast water head on. Overall I loved the excursion. It was a good workout and definitely an adrenaline rush.

Thanks to John and Rhett for such a great experience! Only a small group so we each had our own kayak. They made us feel super safe while ensuring we got to get wet and experience the white water. Got the heart racing in a beautiful location would definitely recommend for adventurous beginners. Thank you!

Lots of fun and just enough of a challenge to feel the joy of accomplishment- ie not flipping… Al is enthusiastic and keeps everyone safe and happy. My boys in their late teens and me over 50 loved the trip. Good value for three hours of action.

Awesome experience! Small group, low key, very safe and lots of fun rafting the magnificent Tully River. Our 7 year old loved very minute! Thanks John and team. Highly recommend.

Went white water rafting. Great fun for adults. I took my 9 year old and 11year old. I totally recommend it for adults but I would never recommend it for children under 12. My 11 year old went into the water when the raft flipped and although he is a good swimmer he was very scared in the water and went under a few times. If my 9 year old had fallen in he would have really struggled to keep his head above the water. It was great to have your own raft but if you don't have a lot of experience it was hard to control especially with kids who don’t have the strength to do a lot of paddling

Did the half day kajak on Tully with my 14 year old daughter. Great experience with fantastic guides.

Terrific rafting trip, safe, fun and informative. I’m perhaps not as good as I thought I would be, but the water was warm and it was actually a fun challenge climbing back into the kayak in the rapids 😂😂
