Sports rafts carry two passengers and are group guided under strict river guide supervision, allowing thrill-seekers the chance to sit in the driver’s seat.
Foaming Fury is one of several rafting companies that operate in the Cairns region, with the Tully River, Barron River and Russell River all popular white water rafting locations.
A range of half and full day tours allow visitors to paddle through some of the region's stunning gorges, surrounded pristine rainforest.
