Roderic Rees has built a hugely successful adventure tourism group in North Queensland, having begun as an adventure tour guide with a Cairns rafting company and risen through management ranks before buying the business and expanding.
The group has grown to incorporate a full range of outdoor experiences and adventure tours, capitalising on the tropical landscapes and unique reef ecosystems of Australia’s far north.
Activities include river rafting, river tubing, jet boating, river cruises, waterfall and rainforest tours, giving visitors a diverse range of ways to experience the natural environment of Far North Queensland.
Cruise tourism has been a huge part of our business and its expansion, bringing thousands of guests from around Australia and internationally.
