Barron River Rafting - Half Day ex Port Douglas

The Barron River is North Queensland's most exciting half day tour. Feel the rush of white water rafting within the awesome wilderness of Australia's tropical rainforests. With over a decade of experience, join RnR qualified guides and negotiate the famous Rooster-Tail rapid and paddle through majestic scenery.

The Barron River Gorge is located 45 minutes south of Port Douglas and lies along a traditional pathway used by the original indigenous Djabugay people. The spectacular Barron Falls, further upstream, are considered a sacred site. The famous Kuranda Railway and Skyrail Cableway also traverse sections of the gorge. RnR's heart thumping ride spears through the Barron Gorge National Park and the World Heritage- listed Wet Tropics.
