1/2 Day Barron River + Sunrise Balloon Flight - 1 Day
Hot Air Balloon Flight - Float above the clouds and ride the wild rapids, all in one day. Balloon flights are
conducted at Sunrise. The flight is serene, peaceful and magic. The views and scenery below are spectacular - this is where the Rainforest meets the Australian Outback.
Barron River Rafting - Rapids to Grade 3
The Barron River is North Queensland's most exciting half day tour. The Barron River Gorge is located 20 minutes' drive north of Cairns and lies along a traditional pathway used by the original indigenous Djabugay people. The spectacular Barron Falls, further upstream, are considered a sacred site. The famous Kuranda Railway and Skyrail Cableway also traverse sections of the gorge.
Heart thumping ride spears through The Barron Gorge National Park and the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics. In the calmer sections you will get to enjoy the ethereal beauty of the worlds oldest rainforest and waterfalls from a unique waterline perspective. During the day you will also discover why the Barron rapids have names such as "Rooster Tail", "Cheese Churn" and Hells Gate.
