2.River Tubing Fiji, Navua River

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 815 reviews · from $93Top rated

Spend about five and a half hours exploring Fiji’s Navua River. You’ll ride a longboat through rainforest and gorges, visit a Fijian village, walk through a plantation, swim at a waterfall, eat a riverside lunch, and float downstream through gentle rapids with guides such as Ben, Nick, and Nem.

“We had an awesome time with Ben and Patrick as our guides. The day was very well organised with our pickup at 7:30 from the intercontinental, we had one other stop and arrived around 9:45. The tour included a boat trip through the Navua river past waterfalls, rainforest and amazing birds. We visited the local village and were given a tour of their farm/garden. We then visited a waterfall which we were able to swim under. Absolutely spectacular. We were then provided lunch (get the coconut fish!!) and prepared for tubing. The tubing was stunning, we had a little bit of rain which was actually lovely as we floated down…”

Cairns or Northern Beaches: Rainforest River Tubing

6.Cairns or Northern Beaches: Rainforest River Tubing

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 372 reviews · 5 hours · from $53

Float for up to 90 minutes on the Mulgrave River with at least two guides nearby, gentle rapids, clear rainforest water, and hotel pickup. This relaxed Foaming Fury trip suits ages 5 and up, but low water can mean paddling at times. Bring swimwear and sunscreen.

“excellent time, the staff were very friendly, informative and helpful. the time down the river was so much better than expected, didn't want it to end. only criticism I would say is at getting set up every thing looked a bit chaotic as everything was it a big pile and was free for all, would be nice if it was a bit more organised to find the correct shoe/helmet sizes.”

Berat Rafting, Kayaking & River Tubing – Osumi Canyons

8.Berat Rafting, Kayaking & River Tubing – Osumi Canyons

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 336 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $54

From Berat, you travel to the Osumi Canyons for roughly two hours on the river, passing waterfalls, cathedral-like rock walls, and narrow bends. Guides such as Bledi, Enver, and Renato have been praised for safety and good humor. Low summer water may mean canyon walking and swimming instead of rafting.

“My daughter (12) and me decided to do this rafting adventure. And it was absolutely worth it! The adventure was perfectly organized. Every question we had beforehand, was directly answered. Everyone was so nice and helpful. And the rafting itself was real fun!!! The guides were great- you can feel that they really like what they're doing. We had such a good time! The rafting was exciting and the landscape absolutely breathtaking! Seeing the Canyoning from this perspective reminded me of the pictures in Lord of the Rings. We loved it! I highly recommend this rafting tour!”

My partner and I always felt safe and genuinely had the time of our lives, SOOO much fun. Great for all skill levels, guides were always nearby. Would absolutely recommend. They also took the best photos of the trip (saves your phone from getting wet) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ stars!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 242 reviews · from $110

At Aventureo PR near Arecibo, you’ll hike through the Tanama Forest, wade upstream, pass through small caves, and finish with a relaxing tube ride. Guides such as Jose, Cesar, and Omar lead the route, provide safety gear, explain the area, and send adventure photos afterward.

“Wear shoes with good tread. It’s a lot of hiking over muddy hilly terrain and then fording in the river over river stones. There’s a lot of swimming and everything will get wet. There is a LOT of hiking up the river. The tubing part was the last half hour of the six hour adventure. Bring a dry bag and one for your cell phone. The guide will hold your car keys so car will be secure. You meet at the location then drive to another location. The hike to the river is VERY steep up then down. I’m glad I am in good physical shape. The location is BEAUTIFUL,…”

“This was very fun!! It is a fairly relaxed tubing experience but we went through really cool tunnels, spotting geckos and even a baby bird. The guides were hilarious, helpful and ensured our safety. Krista and Yuda had us laughing the entire way, and took photos for us. Really recommend!”
