Tully River rafting tours utilize a few key staging areas before you hit the rapids. If you choose a self-drive package, you will navigate directly to these landmarks. Full-day guided tours include transfers, but you will still stop at these facilities to gear up. After navigating the Grade 3 and 4 rapids, the day ends with dinner at a local pub.
