Barron Experience (Tour Code: BR)
RnR is Australia’s White Water Rafting specialist. Operating since 1986 in Cairns, RnR has established a reputation synonymous with safety, service and above all, fun.
White Water Rafting Cairns Tour is the most exciting and fun way to discover the pristine rainforest surrounding Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, and has the advantage of departures all year round, tropical water temperatures and ease of access to compliment breath-taking scenery and rapids.
The Barron River Tour 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.
Great for people with limited time or can be combined with other adventure activities to maximise your day.
Begin your day with a pickup from your Cairns accommodation. You will meet your Trip Leader onboard and be transferred just North-West of Cairns to Lake Placid, where the fun & adventure begins! Continue up the Barron Gorge whilst your guides explain the safety procedures. Your safety equipment will be waiting for you upon arrival at Barron Gorge Power Station - the put-in for your rafting adventure. Commence rafting with your personal guide and negotiate grade 3 rapids such as Cheese Churn, Hell’s Gate and Rooster Tail. Once back at Lake Placid, enjoy a swim, pack up your raft and change into dry clothes.
Travel back to the Blue Sky Brewery, in the heart of Cairns and enjoy light refreshments or an ice cold beer while previewing the days action photos (for Cairns passengers only).
Depart The Cairns Brewery with transfers back to your accommodation.
