The Atherton Tablelands and its surrounding rivers are home to some of the best white water kayaking in the Southern Hemisphere. Warm water and a diverse range of rivers means that all levels of kayakers can be catered for. The high rainfall in the summer months (November to March) means the best paddling is had in the first half of the year. However the inland rivers flow for many more months and all the way across to the Gulf of Carperntaria through some of the most remote and beautiful river systems on the planet.

The steep coastal mountains offer superb river running and creeking with the larger river valleys offering amazing day trips and multi-day expeditions. There are also many creeks which have not yet been paddled and are itching to be explored. A conservative estimate of 60 paddlable rivers and creeks exist within close proximity of Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands. Most of these can offer a range of paddling from grade 2 all the way up to grade 5+.
