"Ride the Rapids" Guided Half Day Tour

Our experienced tour guide will lead you through the beauty of Thora Valley as you gently paddle through lush rainforest and sparkling waterways. 
This easy-flowing Grade 1–2 river is perfect for families seeking a relaxed, nature-filled adventure.

Along the way, spot turtles, platypus, and graceful sea eagles, and enjoy a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waterholes. Weather permitting, you can even try the playful "human rapid" for a bit of extra fun.

Twelve kms of gentle paddling, wildlife wonders, and unforgettable memories await!
