Miscellaneous:
Raging Thunder Adventures pioneered rafting in Queensland, Australia in 1984. Their first commercial trip on the Tully River consisted of three nervous passengers. Since then they have expanded our product range to include a series of adventure tours suitable for all levels of excitement includes white water rafting, reef-rafting, sea kayaking, hot air ballooning, sky diving, Four Wheel Drive tours, horse riding, and fishing to name but a few. In 2004 they carried over 150,000 adrenaline charged passengers on our various tours, which serves to highlight that adventure tourism is no longer just a special interest activity, and indeed forms the basis of many tour itineraries. They also have a range of extended packages suitable for the independent traveller. These packages incorporate tours throughout the East Coast of Queensland.
In November 1998, they launched their new balloon, which is the largest commercial balloon in the world. Raging Thunder Balloon Adventures now has a capacity to carry 104 people per day making it the largest Hot Air Balloon company in Australia. Their unique flying conditions provide us with 98 per cent tour reliability. This statistic is unmatched anywhere in the world within the Ballooning industry. Raging Thunder remains at the forefront of ballooning from their in-house pilot training programs to the state of the art equipment, thus ensuring a high level of service and product quality. The Directors of Raging Thunder Adventures have placed great emphasis on safety and training. They 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 their wholly owned subsidiary, Rescue 3 Australia; a franchise of the world renowned Rescue 3 International.
The mood of their trips is informal; the emphasis is on team work and sharing. The pioneering of the tours and equipment, safety procedures, and highly trained adventure guides, have made Raging Thunder Adventures the leaders in Adventure Tourism.
The difference is their dedication to quality and safety.
