Barron Gorge National Park, is well known as one of two White Water Rafting hotspots around Cairns over a challenging grade 3 Whitewater
River Boarding is a more personal experience, everyone has their own individual riverboards, fins, safety equipment & we are head first into the river rapids, tackling the course from within the Barron Gorge River (as apposed 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!
Duration
Standard experience takes around 4.5hrs. Please allow up to 5hrs for the whole experience from start to finish, every day is a little different, depends on weather, road conditions & fun!

So much fun and no experience required
My 12 year old picked this tour for his birthday and I was apprehensive thinking you'd need some form of experience.... this is not the case at all. The guys give you a safety briefing and make sure you understand the basics in the water before you head down stream for some fun. I had a couple of stacks but it's easy to get back onto the board and keep going. You're shown which path to take at each rapid to ensure you know the safest way to go. We all had a ball and highly recommend the tour!

Excellent opportunity- recommended
I'd like to thank and acknowledge Marcio and Jayden for guiding myself and my 14 year old son on a magnificent half day journey through the Barron River on "boards". Do yourself a favour, ignore the sedate rafting option and try boarding. More immersion, more adrenalin and more fun. Highly recommended.
