From Cairns or Port Douglas: Barron River Half-Day Rafting Guided Tour

Raft the Barron River on a half-day tour with a 2-hr white-water run and all rafting equipment included.

Getting started

Check in online before your tour so your details are ready on arrival. If you select a transfer option, you will be picked up from your hotel in Cairns or Port Douglas and driven to the Barron River. Self-drive guests make their own way to the rafting base, where you meet the team, get fitted with gear, and prepare to head out.

What to expect

Barron River white water run

Tackle a dedicated 2-hr white water rafting section of the Barron River, with time on the water forming the core of your half-day tour. Before you launch, the crew runs through a safety briefing and shows you how to use the equipment so you feel prepared on the raft.

Features

• Move through a series of moving water sections and calmer stretches that give you a mix of action and time to take in the surrounding river scenery.

• All rafting equipment is provided, including your raft and safety gear, so you only need to bring personal items like a swimming costume, towel, and secure footwear.

• If you have booked the Cairns or Port Douglas transfer option, hotel transfers from and back to your accommodation are included, so you do not need to worry about driving after the activity.

Wrapping up

At the end of your rafting run, you return to the river base to change and collect your belongings. Guests who selected hotel transfers are then driven back to their accommodation in Cairns or Port Douglas, while self-drive guests can depart at their own time.
