Half Day Canyoning Experience in Cairns
Both our Half day Canyon options at Behana or Crystals are amazing, and you may be having a tough time trying to decide between the two below are the differences between each site but it doesn’t necessarily make the decision any easier!

Cairns Canyoning has exclusive vehicle use of the 3.2km track to Behana Gorge situated in Wooroonooran World Heritage National Parks QLD. Surrounded by lush green rainforest & granite formations Behana is a wide open space with it’s main feature being a series of waterfalls coming together into a bowl… From the main waterfall you can expect to see a variety of water features your qualified tour guide will take you through on our adventures, the best thing about Behana Canyon experience is that everything on this course is optional & each of our guests can make the choices of what they’d like to do without it affecting the other people in their groups – this makes it ideal for families or those a little nervous or first time canyoners whilst still catering to those more intermediate/advanced levels.
