A Rainforest Adventure for Nature and Water Lovers
Discover a unique way to explore the lush rainforest and waterways of Far North Queensland with the River Drift Experience, just 20 minutes north of Port Douglas.
This family-friendly adventure begins with a tranquil river walk. Meander along the shallow riverbed surrounded by towering trees and the calming sounds of nature. Then, it’s time for the real excitement: grab your river sled and drift along the winding Mossman River.
Feel the contrast between serene moments under a leafy canopy and the thrill of gliding through gentle rapids. The changing pace of the river makes it perfect for an engaging yet manageable adventure.
This is more than just a water activity—it’s an immersive connection to the stunning natural beauty of the rainforest. Whether you’re escaping the heat or seeking a unique outdoor experience, this adventure is a blend of serenity and exhilaration your family won’t forget.

- What about crocodiles: You should always be Croc-wise in Croc country; that is why you can rest assured that our tour operates in a very safe, Croc-Free stretch of water. Crocodiles use the water, sun and shade to maintain their preferred body temperature of 30–33°C. Where we swim is too clear, too cold at 16-22°C, and too shaded for crocodiles. The cool water is one reason we provide you with a very fashionable wetsuit to use during your tour.
