Whitewater Rafting

• Challenge yourself on the mighty Franklin.
• Drift the Huon and Picton rivers.

Tasmania has one of the world’s most celebrated wild rivers, the Franklin. Rafting the Franklin is an outdoor experience to challenge even the most experienced adventurer.

The river roils and gouges its way through some of the Island’s most pristine and wild landscapes, in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Yet amongst this tumult are moments of unsurpassed tranquillity.

Not far from Hobart, you can bounce gently down the lower Picton into the Huon River, passing Huon pines overhanging the river and enjoying the fun of negotiating easy rapids.

Experienced commercial river rafting companies with skilled local guides operate a range of rafting experiences, from half-day trips to extended expeditions.
