Why Raging Thunder?  
   

Raging Thunder Adventures are the pioneers of rafting in Queensland, Australia! Their first commercial trip on the Tully River consisted of three nervous passengers in 1984. Even today they still raft the mighty Tully River, because it is regarded as the best rafting river across Australia and New Zealand.

The Directors of Raging Thunder Adventures have placed great emphasis on safety and training and have pioneered many of the Swiftwater Rescue procedures and techniques used around the world. Their guides are trained to this high standard which includes Wilderness Medivac training, by Rescue 3 Australia; a franchise of the world renowned Rescue 3 International.

The mood of the trips is informal; the emphasis is on team work and sharing. The pioneering of their tours and equipment, safety procedures, and highly trained adventure guides, have made Raging Thunder Adventures the leaders in Adventure Tourism.
