So much fun ! Dom our guide was exceptional and so funny. The canyon is gorgeous the water so clear and not cold ( we went November) the group was small 4 so we had heaps of time to do jumps again or extra slides. Fav was the water slides and the abseiling is not scary at all

Absolutely fantastic day. Anton was the best guide ever. From the spectacular Botanical Gardens through to swimming in the crystal clear waters of Behana Gorge. A must do adventure whilst visiting the area.

The Behana Gorge canyoning and water adventure trip was a unique, exciting, and action packed experience! I was looking for an adventure-focused activity to get out of my comfort zone a bit and explore the rainforest & nature of Cairns- this definitely hit all the marks! Luke & Anton were rockstar guides and made sure I felt safe while pushing me to try everything on the course. They were knowledgeable about the gorge, the mountains, and the water hike itself. Definitely recommend this for the adventurous traveler & to see a different side of Cairns. Thanks for the amazing day team!

Better than snorkeling!!!! Not my first time canyoning in Australia but some of the most action packed half days trips I’ve ever done!!! Did both Crystal and Behana with Paige and Anton - both amazing guides and professional. They really managed a diverse group of skills and sense of adventure with ease while keeping the more challenging aspects fun! Canyons have very different landscapes despite being close and have diverse challenges! If you like abseiling and jumps in narrow canyon do Crystal, or jumps, swimming and slides do Behana. Really recommend either but only opt for full day if you want to push yourself and be exhausted! Would recommend if looking to do something different in Cairns and like some adventure!

My first canyoning experience, climbing and jumping Behana Waterfall is exhilarating and awesome🤩! Our guide Dom is very friendly and humorous, thanks for the beer, 🐶, and dinner recommendation (Ochre’s food and service are awesome!!)
