RnR, based in Cairns, is Australia’s White Water Rafting specialist.
With experience since 1984, RnR has established a reputation synonymous with safety, service and above all, fun.
The company was formed in 1984 by Chris Sykes and his girlfriend Paula Fursman. The couple had met whilst river guiding together in New Zealand, where they met another Aussie, Dave Wilson. Together they recognised the potential of rafting in Tropical North Queensland, and pioneered rafting on the Tully in 1983.
The company has since changed hands several times, and was purchased by Pip and Charles Woodward in 2004. The Woodward family have locally owned and operated two major tourism operations in the region, Rainforestation Nature Park and Tropic Wings, since 1976 and 1981 respectively. In 2005, the Woodwards launched a new group name for the several companies they owned - The CaPTA Group, standing for Cairns and Port Trips & Attractions. The same year they purchased adventure touring company Jungle Tours, which now sits alongside RnR White Water Rafting under the RnR Adventures banner. In 2007, Pip and Charles sold RnR Adventures to one of their sons, Peter Woodward, and his wife Jaci. Continuing in the spirit of family owned and operated business, RnR Adventures remains part of The CaPTA Group
