    I recently embarked on an unforgettable white-water rafting adventure with Raging Thunder, and it was an absolute thrill from start to finish! A massive shout-out to Ash, our awesome guide, who ensured a safe and enjoyable experience, expertly navigating us through exhilarating rapids on the Tully. Another shout-out to Tom or Harry (I can't recall his name) who was super enthusiastic and made the safety briefings fun. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic day out!

    A brilliant day out from start to finish, all the guides were great fun and you can’t beat the scenery! The rafting is such great fun with stops along the river to jump off the rocks and take in the views! Definitely recommend to family’s as well! And a lovely meal to finish the day!

    We had the most amazing time with Ash! He tailored the trip down the Tully River to our group, keeping it fun and allowing us plenty of opportunities to swim too! Thank you Ash!

    My friends and I had a spectacular time whitewater rafting down Tully rapids. It was a new experience for me and I was initially a bit nervous but that all went away as soon as we hit our first rapid. Our guide Paul was amazing and gave us all the confidence and skills we needed to face the rapids. The trip was a beautiful mix of adrenaline, breath taking views and a delightful time with wonderful people. Thank you Paul for your guidance ! I will definitely be back with friends to do this again! 😊✌️🤙
