Our Balloon and Tully Rafting Adventure combines an action packed day of fun and adventure rafting on the thrilling Tully River with the best views across Cairns and the Cairns Highlands from a Hot Air Balloon.
Day 1: Full Day Tully River White Water Rafting
Begin your day with collection from your Cairns, Northern Beaches or Mission Beach accommodation and travel south to the spectacular surroundings that await you. The Tully River is situated in stunning World Heritage Listed rainforest and offers an awesome day out rafting grade 3-4 rapids over 5 hours.
Be prepared to experience rushes as you raft across some of the Tully River's famous rapids such as the 'Alarm Clock', 'Wet and Moisty', 'Stair Case' and the dramatic 'Theatre'.
Once you have mastered the Tully River rapids you will be able to enjoy a BBQ lunch alongside the river as you discuss your mornings adventure.
Day 2: 30 Minute Balloon Flight
As the sun rises your pilots gently lift off and quietly glide the balloons over the panorama of the Cairns Highlands (also known as the Atherton Tablelands).
Afterwards you are treated to a wonderful breakfast at our outback venue, before being returned to your accommodation or Kuranda with plenty of time to enjoy other tours in the same day.
