Overview
ItineraryJust 20 minutes from central Cairns and 40 minutes from Port Douglas, Barron Gorge National Park is convenient for whichever option you select when booking—either hotel pickup by coach or driving yourself to Lake Placid. The park is known for its rugged rainforest mountains, steep ravines, Barron Falls, and, of course, Barron Gorge, carved out over thousands of years by the Barron River. When you arrive at Lake Placid, meet your guide to get ready for your white-water rafting tour on the river, which snakes its way down from the mountains toward the Coral Sea. During this scenic experience, enjoy a combination of calm water and a series of white-water rapids, providing you with both peaceful floating and more exciting action. You’ll raft for up to two hours on rapids up to grade III. No experience is necessary, making this a good choice for beginner rafters. Rafts hold up to seven passengers plus your river guide, who keeps you safe and entertained. When your tour is over, return to your pickup point. Total duration of this tour depends on your pickup location or if you drive yourself.Stop At: • Foaming Fury, 19-21 Barry St, Cairns, Queensland 4870 Australia • Barron Gorge National Park, Wrights Lookout Rd, Queensland Australia

First time rafting and the experience was soooo much fun. It was a hot day; the ability to cool off in the Barron River was just wonderful. The professionalism of the crew (Jordan was outstanding) and the "fun" had on the river was just fabulous....!!!! Highly recommend this tour for ANYONE wishing to get wet and have fun being looked after by a crew who is intent on ensuring safety and enjoyment whilst in their care - I can't wait to do it again...!!!!

Our guide, Tom, was incredible. He was very skilled and knowledgeable, and made us all feel at ease with the entire experience. Awesome fun and an experience I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to try grade 4 rapids now. I’m hooked!

What an amazing afternoon!
My grown up family thoroughly enjoyed our time on the river. The guides were very professional, fun, and made us feel really safe. Swimming through some of the rapids was a fun and novel experience for us that made this tour special.
Would highly recommend it!
