The great tour guide/instructor. Perfect day. Only negative is when signing up for the trip headiut prints the total fee for Headiut!! They fail toention that there is a $30 fee for the park which is payable before bus may move. Very misleading thinking there are no additional fees!!

Our guide Matt was absolutely brilliant. He was a date devil but without putting anyone in harms way. He was funny and made the afternoon very memorable. Thank you for the great experience. Just wondering about the photos. Don't seem to have received them. Thank you

Guides were great, no complaints there but fel that price was to high for the ride we received. If it wasn't for the many stops/waiting we made along the way the rafting would have been finished in under 30mins so felt the price was excessive. But like I said, the guides where great. thanks
Enjoy 2 hours of pure rafting fun on Cairns' popular Barron River. This is known to be a great venue to get out on the water and partake in adventurous water sporting activities, and what better way to start your trip than by white water rafting! This course offers the intermediate challenge of Grade 3 rapids, dialing up the fun factor. Guaranteed water levels throughout the year make for the ideal rafting destination- that, and the fact that it is not too far away from Cairns! A friendly but professional tour guide will join you and the rest of the rafters before navigating your way through the smooth and bumpy waters of the Barron River. Be enveloped by the striking greenery of Cairns' tropical rainforest, a great visual contrast to the blue waters you'll be gliding on. This semi-challenging, and super enjoyable rafting experience in the Cairns region simply cannot be missed!
