Thunderbolt Reef Rafting
Cairns only Half Day Reef Trip Adventure. Raging Thunder's Thunderbolt 1 vessel was specifically designed for the ocean conditions between Fitzroy Island and the Outer Edge of the Great Barrier Reef.
Thunderbolt 1 is the first of a new generation of high speed reef boats which combines the speed of smaller light-weight run abouts operated by the Navy and Army assault units, with the sea going safety of an offshore patrol vessel. The massive 600hp engines provide strength and reliability, whilst the Seafury surface propulsion system generates maximum speed with minimal resistance.
Thunderbolt 1 turns sharply on command, providing our passengers with a safe, comfortable ride with the added advantage of extreme manoeuvrability - hold on tight!!
Thunderbolt 1 is one of a kind, travelling at 80 km/h it will take just 24 minutes to reach our site at Thetford, Flynn or Moore Reefs on the Outer Edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Getting there will be half the fun, and seasickness will be a thing of the past. Choose from the 3 transfer times available for a full or half day adventure!
