A fantastic couple of hours experiencing the white waters of the Baron River.

The tour was well set up considering there were something like 13 boats on the day we went. Although the Baron river is a grade 3, it's obviously dependant on how much rain there has been, would recommend taking this into account. On our run, the river was fairly low, but it was still great fun. Marco, our guide was friendly and experienced and obviously loves what he does. Would recommend to anyone, taking into account convenience of location to Cairns area.
