The experience was peaceful and relaxing rather than adventurous. It’s a great choice for families, especially those with kids aged 5–10, as it offers a safe and enjoyable way to spend time together. If you’re looking for something thrilling or high-adrenaline, this might not be the best fit—river rafting would be a better option in that case. River tubing is more about unwinding, with a touch of light fun along the way. You’ll spend around 60–90 minutes in the water, and the entire experience (including pickup and drop-off) takes about 4–5 hours. It’s well-organized and usually wraps up before 1 PM, leaving you with the rest of the day free. Overall, it’s a calm and enjoyable activity, perfect for a laid-back outing.
It was really great experience. The guie(Jay and Kai) are so kind and so co-operative. We tried tubing for a first time and it was much more greater than what I expected. The river was so beautiful as well. Highly reccomend.
CAG guides Tom and Jackie were just excellent. The gentle rapids were an easy task we were looked after start to finish from our pick up at Trinity to the drop off with smiles and stories to tell Geoff
We experienced the beauty of nature in untouched rainforest and fresh river water. Great instructors and guides.
great activity, well planned. suitable for kids too
Great adventure experience. My kids enjoyed it so much.
Amazing tubing tour. Guys did a really good job. The whole of the tour is neither boring, nor dangerous. Perfect for family, with kids or seniors. Only one thing people need to be careful, that is the local insects are very aggressive. The sting could make you see your blood. Nothing the CAG guys can do, honestly. You just have to look after your own family.
