A Rainy Ride on The Barron 🩵 - We rafted in the 20/08/24: Definitely a 5/5 experience…..it always is. This was our fourth time rafting on the Barron . I was apprehensive initially as it was raining. However these conditions created quite a surreal experience with the mist hanging around parts of the mountains as we paddled our way down the Barron. Quite breathtaking actually!! Our guide Jordan was brilliant. We thought he really had his work cut out. Jordan handled it all calmly and professionally. It was really interesting to see how the river had changed after the flooding of Dec 2023. Jordan imparted some interesting morsels of information about the changes since the flood, the environment and wildlife. Thank you Jordan for an amazing afternoon on the Barron ☺️🙌.

Super fun - highly recommend! - Our half day Barron Gorge White Water Rafting on the Barron River was so much fun! Kyle is an excellent guide, he was entertaining and gave clear safety instructions. He broke the ice by dunking half our raft on the first drop. He gave us lots of bumps and spins and we all got soaked. 🌊 Great activity for those new at white water rafting, like us. My teenager said he’s interested in trying rafting again! 😄

Great River Tour - We had a great time on the water with the white water raft team. They navigated the gorge post cyclone really well to provide a great experience with a good balance of bumps and clear runs. Our guide Chris was very entertaining and knowledgeable of the area.
