What you can expect

Experience the thrill of white water rafting on the Barron River, just 20 minutes from Cairns. After a convenient pick-up from Cairns or the Northern Beaches, you'll be fitted with a helmet and life jacket before meeting your expert guide for a safety briefing. No previous rafting experience is required, making this adventure ideal for both first-time and returning rafters.

Launch below the Barron River Power Station and paddle through a series of exciting Grade 2 and 3 rapids as you journey through the heart of Barron Gorge National Park. Along the way, take in the dramatic rainforest scenery, towering gorge walls and tropical surroundings that make this one of North Queensland's most popular rafting experiences. With guaranteed water levels and up to two hours on the river, this half-day adventure delivers the perfect mix of excitement and natural beauty before finishing at the calm waters of Lake Placid.

A wonderful day out

A wonderful day out! Loved the hospitality and our guide, Steve! Refreshing waters, a good swim, a couple of breathtaking instances. On-time pick up, good transfer facility, good buses, fun people. Fantastic photographer and awesome pictures! Coffee wasn't great.
