Adventure Tours 

Cairns is undoubtedly the Adventure Tourism capital of Australia with so many adventure activities to do we guarantee you'll be exhausted at the end of your holiday.

There is bungy jumping, tandem skydiving, hot air ballooning, white water rafting and horse riding to just to name a few.  You'll definitely need more than one day to do them all and we are sure after reading the following pages, you will want to stay an extra week to complete them all!

The whole thrill of doing something dangerous is exactly that, because sometimes it CAN be dangerous and there are always risks associated with them.  But sometimes in life, you have to just take a chance. Heidi did, look at the top of the page, thats her!
