Traveler Reviews
I had the greatest experience with Foaming Fury from my initial enquiry through to the actual White Water Rafting. They were sincerely a fantastic company to use and the experience itself is well worth it.
I highly recommend it to anyone, even if a little nervous, they made feel very safe.
It is such a lovely way to see Barron Gorge also...its really pretty.

Highly recommend this activity! We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and we all had such a great time! Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and skilled at handling the boat but still great fun. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Loved it!

First time rafting experience went with friends all middle aged ,a bit apprehensive due to age (56 ) but had an experienced instructor on our boat Rob , felt as safe as I could , recommend this activity enjoyed floating down the river and going through the rapids , fell on the slippery rocks whilst waiting for the more daring to do the free surfing activity ,came away with a nice bruise as a trophy ! You will get wet even if you stay in the boat , instructor was knowledgeable about the area and river , would suggest you need to have a degree of moderate physical fitness to do this activity
Thanks for a great afternoon Rob and Roxy
