From mild to wild
Tropical North Queensland’s inherent natural beauty provides the perfect setting for a destination or beach wedding. Warm dry winters mean an outdoor ceremony is unlikely to be subject to the vagaries of the weather, and there are limitless memorable locations to say your vows – from a chapel overlooking the sea at Port Douglas to beneath a Daintree rainforest canopy, a deserted island beach or in the gardens of a luxury resort.
This natural playground is a ‘choose your own adventure’ mecca, where the flick of a paddle or tug of a bungy cord will turn up the thrill levels. Whether you prefer your adventure mild or wild, there’s an experience to match, immersing you in the beauty of this living, breathing wonder.
Make like George of the Jungle with these rainforest adventures in Tropical North Queensland.
If there’s one thing Cairns Adventure Group knows, it’s adventure. Suit up for one of their half or full-day white-water rafting trips and brace yourself for impact. The Barron River offers some of the country’s most exhilarating rafting as you bounce and flow your way from the mountains to the sea. There are even options for kids aged 6-11. Or if you fancy tackling the mighty Tully River, Raging Thunder offer a full day eco adventure with awesome 3 and 4 grade rapids.
If you’d rather relax than rush, set your own pace and glide along the crystal clear creek of one of Australia’s wettest towns, Babinda with Babinda Kayaking. Hire a kayak or stand-up paddle-board and wind your way between Queensland’s two highest mountains alongside fish, turtles, and the occasional platypus. Head into town and check out the Babinda Museum for a dose of history, before having a much deserved picnic with treats from the Babinda Bakery.
If Indiana Jones is your fictional spirit animal, Cairns Canyoning is your chance to channel your inner explorer with an expedition to the depths of the tropics. Abseil down slippery cliffs, zipline across cascades, riverboard down rapids, jump from rocks, and swim under waterfalls in just a half or full day in the rainforest
