About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Foaming Fury, 19-21 Barry St, Cairns, Queensland 4870 Australia
Just 20 minutes from central Cairns and 40 minutes from Port Douglas, Barron Gorge National Park is convenient for whichever option you select when booking—either hotel pickup by coach or driving yourself to Lake Placid. The park is known for its rugged rainforest mountains, steep ravines, Barron Falls, and, of course, Barron Gorge, carved out over thousands of years by the Barron River.
When you arrive at Lake Placid, meet your guide to get ready for your white-water rafting tour on the river, which snakes its way down from the mountains toward the Coral Sea. During this scenic experience, enjoy a combination of calm water and a series of white-water rapids, providing you with both peaceful floating and more exciting action. You’ll raft for up to two hours on rapids up to grade III.
No experience is necessary, making this a good choice for beginner rafters. Rafts hold up to seven passengers plus your river guide, who keeps you safe and entertained. When your tour is over, return to your pickup point. Total duration of this tour depends on your pickup location or if you drive yourself.
Duration: 4 hours

My wife and I really enjoyed this day out. We were put on a raft with AJ who explained the techniques well and kept the experience fun and exciting. The rapids were intense enough for us as first timers and the surrounding scenery was spectacular. Would highly recommend!
We had an amazing time with Foaming Fury! Nick our guide was extremely knowledgeable, safe, and funny and made the entire experience fun for us all. We all enjoyed ourselves so much, it was one of my girls' favorite things we did! The pics came out awesome and were not even overpriced in my opinion. Definitely recommend this tour with this crew, it was so much fun!
Had a good time, a little hard on older people.
