'Canyoning' style trips near Cairns?

Postby dmyles » Tue 26 May, 2015 1:25 am

Hi all,

I'll be in Cairns from Jun 3 - Jun 6 before heading off to Chillagoe.

I'm from Sydney and really enjoy canyoning here. Does anyone know of any canyon/gorge style trips near Cairns involving any combination of swimming, waterfall abseils, water jumps, etc.? I'll have a 60m ropewith me.
Otherwise I'm keen to try any fun climbing/scrambling/abseiling trips with good views. I'll probably spend one day going up to Bartle Frere to get a good view of the area.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations :)

Cheers,
David.

We don't have alligators in Australia, just two types of crocs.
