The Barron River Half Day Tour is a fantastic introduction to White Water Rafting. It’s fun, exciting and exhilarating, suitable for all the family.
The beautiful Barron Gorge National Park is only 20 minutes from the centre of Cairns (40 minutes ex-Port Douglas). It’s known for its rugged rainforest mountains, steep ravines, the mighty Barron Falls and of course, Barron Gorge, which has been carved out over thousands of years by the Barron River.
This is where we do our half day white water rafting tour, on the ebb and flow of the Barron River, as it snakes its way down from the mountains and heads out to the Coral Sea.
This is a scenic rafting / rainforest adventure which combines calm water floating with a series of white water rapids for adventure and action.

a year agoIt was an amazing tour! We only had a half day left and therefore did Barron instead of Tully but it was so good. The whole tour was very well organized and best of all, our amazing guide Keanu showed us a great time! He was very experienced and super fun. Highly recommend this tour!

10 months agoA nice tour, with friendly guides, this tour is a good introduction to white water rafting. It was great to get a comprehensive training on how to manage the rapids and work as a team. The one big downside was not being able to participate in the most exciting part of the tour the rapid surfing. We were denied the opportunity to participate because we there were two people on our raft to who were not able to swim, despite some other rafts having multiple goes, they never once told us we were not going to be given a turn. I was watching in anticipation of having a go then at the last moment we left, my daughter asked if we could have a turn and they said no, they could have swapped us to another boat for that part, felt let down, this could have easily been solved by better organisation.
