Your tour begins with a pick up from your accommodation in Mission Beach or Tully. You’ll be met by your experienced guides with introductions and big smiles. Sit back, and enjoy the 45-minute informative drive along the beautiful winding Tully Gorge Road into World Heritage-listed National Park. If you are lucky you may see a Cassowary along the way.
Change rooms and toilets are available at the park, the departure point for your rafting adventure. Here your guides will unload the rafts, kit you up and talk you through some handy rafting instruction before pairing you up in your rafts. If you are confident and there are enough rafts your guides may even let you go on your own!
Enter the Tully River in a beautiful, calm section of the Gorge. Here your expert guides will show you everything you need to know to become a ‘White water warrior.’ When everyone is happy….the fun begins….
You'll start off with our ‘practice rapid’. A nice span of small rapids to let you practice your paddling and turns and give you a feel for the water, your raft and for things to come. Your guide will be with you every step of the way  showing you the best way to go and what to look out for. Stretches of calm separates each group of rapids where the sights and sounds of nature connect you back to the wild. Ulysses butterflies, birds of prey, rainbow bee eaters are a common sight. Focus and you will see so much more as you cruise through 410 million year old rainforests. The scenery alone is worthy of the experience. But don’t get too distracted  here come some rapids  woo hoo!
Rapids get a little bigger and trickier, you’ll watch the water currents, dodge rocks, steer your raft to take the rapids head on, crash through a wall of foaming water, and emerge drenched but euphoric at the feeling of the conquest, and eager for more. And more you shall get..…With each rapid comes more confidence, more control and more excitement. You may go in, you may not, but that’s how nature rolls, and one thing is for certain, what nature teaches you, will be with you forever.… what you learn about yourself is priceless….Welcome ‘White Water Warrior’ You paddled, conquered and survived the Wildside.
