Itinerary
It’s a tour where you can overcome those fears, experience true adventure in a fun, exciting and safe way. You'll be taking a refreshing swim in the warm FNQ waters, within the World Heritage Rainforest and if your lucky you may see some of the endemic wildlife of the Tropics.
Behana Canyon (usually 12 noon – daily)
Your qualified tour guide will take you through on an adventure, the best thing about Behana Canyon experience is that everything on this course is optional & each of our guests can make the choices of what they’d like to do without it affecting the other people in their groups – this makes it ideal for families or those a little nervous or first time canyoners whilst still catering to those more intermediate/advanced levels.
Crystal Canyon (usually 6:30am – daily)
One of the most popular Waterfalls in the Cairns Region is the beautiful Crystal Cascades, surrounded by tropical rainforest, with a 2km track passing through of many water pools. Enjoy a 30 metre zipline into the refreshing pool, an abseil down & through one of the waterfalls itself, jumps, slides, abseils, a chance to appreciate nature in a different style of adventure.

I am not here to rag on this tour, because overall I had a really good time, however it was not what I thought. It is stated as canyoning and described as belaying, but I didn't see anywhere in the description that you would be jumping off cliffs around 20 Kilometers high. Maybe that's implied with canyoning, but as someone who is oddly terrified of heights particularly over water, this came as a surprise to me. And it was like 3 jumps in a row. SO IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS AND JUMPING OFF CLIFFS THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU. I am just stating in caps so someone knows before hand. The crew always gave alternative routes if someone didn't want to jump or body surf down the rocks slides. On at least my tour there was only one belaying activity and it wasn't even through a waterfall as the picture shows. Overall the activity is really fun and about 5 hours, by the end a lot of people were tired or cold, I was neither but the horse flies were a constant irritation. A great environment rainforest like experience as long as you like cliff jumping, rock sliding and swimming in streams.

Such an amazing time canyoning! First timer and if I said I wasn’t a bit timid I’d be lying, but the crew were amazing and patient and kind every step of the way! Highly recommend this as the scenery and experiences were overall fantastic!

I had so much fun. A big shout out to the two guides who ensured our safety and made this trip enjoyable. This was not my first time canyoning, but I picked up skills from these two that I wished I had earlier. It's worth every penny!

The whole trip was fun and exciting, the crew really make it worked. Water jumping and drifting were scary at the first but while you get used to it, it was really fun. Highly recommended.

Incredible experience thanks to a terrific guide, Marcio. He arrived timely to pick us up, drove safely and was very informative the entire time. Marcio made our adventure so much more fun then I ever expected and took awesome pictures. His level of care and professionalism was special and very appreciated. I felt so safe! I highly recommend getting the picture package. Thank you, Marcio!!

I did the Behana gorge half day canyoning experience on 5/9/23 with my 10yo son and it was great.
Both guides were awesome and gave clear instructions for each obstacle and their experience showed.
Whilst there was a clear emphasis on safety, it was good to see that the obstacles were still enjoyable and challenging.
