Tubing On The Mulgrave River

OVERVIEW

Float down the Mulgrave River in an inflatable tube and enjoy an exhilarating ride as the river winds through the rainforest. On the drive inland, you will get a glimpse of the area’s natural wonders, which are plentiful. The landscape will become even more beautiful and lush as you approach the river, whose source is runoff from the Bellenden Ker Range, Queensland’s highest mountains. Consequently, the water is clear and abundant. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into a circular river tube and begin floating along with the current. You can expect to ride through gentle drifts, over moderate rapids, down fast runs and through the swimming hole at Behana Gorge. The rainforest grows right to the riverbanks, offering shade at times and a naturally beautiful setting the entire trip. Keep an eye out for turtles and tropical birds such as lemon-bellied flycatchers and scarlet honeyeaters.
