RAFT ALL YEAR ROUND the white waters of the Barron and Mighty Tully River, with its 44 rapids making it the best rafting river in Aus and NZ. This is a must on your visit to North Queensland.

FLY ABOARD THE WORLD’S LARGEST HOT AIR BALLOON greeting the dawn as you glide over the panoramic Atherton Tablelands - the best way to absorb the diverse eco-culture of the region. After this exhilarating experience you will continue on to a traditional Aussie farmhouse for breakfast with champagne.

EXPERIENCE THE RUSH and hop aboard the fastest commercial passenger vessel on the Great Barrier Reef, the ThunderBolt and travel at 80 kilometres an hour from Fitzroy Island to the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Getting there will be half the fun, and seasickness will be a thing of the past on our vessel specifically designed for the ocean conditions between Fitzroy Island and the Outer Edge of the Great Barrier Reef.

PADDLE YOUR OWN SEA KAYAK on a guided tour to unspoilt areas of Fitzroy Island, which are only accessible by water. Stopping for a tropical lunch on private beach, where you can experience the thrill of snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef, and a guided walk to the island’s lighthouse.

RELAX ON A TROPICAL ISLAND only 45 mintutes from Cairns. Fitzroy Island is actually the top of a submerged mountain, covered in tropical rainforest and maintained as a national park with walking tracks to the summit and the secret garden. While the waters around the island offer a beautiful choice of snorkelling spots within it's fringing reefs, with easy access off the beaches. Day guests have full access to Fitzroy Island resort which offers a wide range of activities, and equipment for hire. While those who wish to stay overnight on the reef can choose from one of many different accommodation styles, and party into the early hours at one of the only night clubs on the Great Barrier Reef.

And for those who want more, Raging Thunder offers a variety of packages which can help you fit the most into your stay, and to experience the best North Queensland has to offer.
