Crystal Canyon - Departs at 6:30am
Crystal Cascades is one of the most beautiful places to swim near Cairns! This natural water hole and waterfall is popular for day trippers from the city, but canyoning allows you to take your experience to the next level!
Enjoy 5 abseils with the largest being 32m (104ft), a rock slide, and up to 2 rock jumps at either 4m or 10m. There is also a 30m zipline that whisks you through the forest and drops you into a freshwater pool!
This canyoning experience is only for people ages 12 or over, as it is slightly challenging and there is only one way down. So once you embark on this journey, you have to take part in all the fun activities!
Behana Gorge - Departs at 12pm
The afternoon canyoning option visits Behana Gorge. Located in Wooroonooran World Heritage National Parks, Behana Gorge is a massive pool with multiple waterfalls streaming in. There are unique granite rock formations and magical tropical rainforests surrounding the gorge.
This tour is more suitable for beginner canyoners and can take guests ages 8 or older. Every activity in the gorge is optional, so it's great for families and travelers who want a mellow introduction to canyoning. You can choose which activities you'd like to try without affecting the rest of the group. If you're more experienced and daring, you can try it all!
Activities include up to 2 abseils, up to 3 rock jumps with the largest being 12m high, up to 2 rockslides, a water chute, and up to 2 plunge pools. There are no ziplines at this site.
