Cairns is a tropical oasis in the north of Queensland, surrounded by crystal clear water and lush forests. There are lots of ways to take in the stunning scenery that surrounds this oceanside town. Why not enjoy the scenic views on an adrenaline-filled adventure?

If you’re visiting Cairns, you’re probably already planning to visit the Great Barrier Reef or the Daintree Rainforest. Consider adding one or all these extreme experiences to your itinerary for the ultimate Cairns adventure!

River Rafting

Located south of Cairns is the Tully River. This winding river flows through rolling hills and cascading waterfalls. The river makes for a great extreme rafting experience as the water rushes around large rocks and down mini waterfalls!

The Xtreme Sports Rafting adventure begins at 8 a.m., allowing for a full day on the river. An experienced guide and instructor will be with you all day, helping to manoeuvre the raft through obstacles in the rushing water. All you must bring on this trip is an eagerness for adventure! The tour also includes a delicious Aussie lunch and all the equipment necessary to enjoy a safe, adrenaline-filled journey.

Cairns Bungy Jumping

To the north of Cairns, you’ll find the exciting Skypark Cairns Bungy Jumping experience set in the dense rainforest. Whether you only have free time in the morning or afternoon, there are lots of time slots available to work with most schedules. You can also arrange complimentary bus transport for a hassle-free trip.

As you make your way up the 50-metre tower, you’ll be able to view the rainforest from high above, expanding as far as the eye can see. Once you’re ready to take the plunge, you’ll rapidly descend into the forest. You’ll quickly understand why thousands of travellers choose to experience this adrenaline rush every year.

Skydiving

For the ultimate thrill-seeking adventure, you should probably give skydiving a go. Not only are there fantastic views from high above Cairns, but Cairns is also home to Australia’s highest skydive. Book our 15000ft Cairns Skydiving trip for an extreme adrenaline rush.

You’ll be able to take in the best views above Cairns as you ascend 15,000 feet into the air. Once you’ve reached optimal altitude, it’s time to jump. You’ll freefall for an entire minute until your tandem guide releases your parachute. After that, you’ll get to enjoy about seven minutes in the air, slowly floating back towards solid ground.
