What you can expect
Get out on the water for an exciting white water adventure with this half day river boarding tour on Barron Gorge. Heading out of Cairns, you'll be immersed in the Barron Gorge National Park rainforest and jump in to take on the grade 2-3 rapids on a river board. Just a short 15-minute drive from Cairns, we take you to the mighty Barron River in amongst the tropical rainforest If you have already been White Water Rafting before, River Boarding is your next adventure! River Boarding is a more personal experience, everyone has their own individual riverboards, fins, and safety equipment & we are head first into the river rapids, tackling the course from within the Barron Gorge River (as opposed to on the river). Suitable for families, people looking for their next adventure, or to try something new like Australia’s only riverboarding tour company. With a maximum of 16 people in your group (unless private charter), this is definitely a personal experience to enjoy in the Wet Tropics!
