Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:
Water Pack Package - is made up of two tours - Foaming Fury Barron River Rafting half day tour and Waterfall Wanderers full day tour.
Foaming Fury:
A Foaming Fury vehicle will pick you up from your accommodation to commence a Half Day Barron River Rafting tour. Enjoy an outdoor adventure in Queensland with a 2-hour white-water rafting tour in Barron Gorge National Park. Take in rainforest views along the Barron River as you navigate rapids up to grade III. 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. 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, you will be transferred back to your accommodation.
Waterfall Wanderers:
From selected hotels you will be picked up to commence a full day Waterfall Wanderers tour. Travelling south, you will visit and be amazed by the legend of Babinda Boulders, steeped in Aboriginal history of trapped spirits and a tragic love story that will chill you to the bone. You'll also enjoy a light morning tea/coffee and biscuits. Your morning swim beckons in the lush rainforest and cascading crystal clear waters of Josephine Falls. A natural water-slide awaits the young at heart, while the spectacular backdrop provides photo opportunities and wildlife spotting. Journey on to Australia's most iconic waterfall Millaa Millaa Falls made famous by Qantas and Herbal Essences commercials. This 18 metre, single-drop waterfall, lies in the heart of the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed rainforest. For lunch, you will make your way to Australia's largest timber pub and fill your belly with some good old fashioned, country cooking before getting back into the waterfalls. Time permitting, we may visit Mount Hypipamee, the Crater or Dinner Falls. As the afternoon starts to roll on, you'll head to the Curtain Fig Tree,a spectacular sight with its 15 metre high roots that tower above you like a 3 story building. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo too! Just before your last swim, we visit a quiet little creek to search for Platypus and then off to your last stop of the day, Lake Eacham. This is a dormant volcanic crater lake filled with turtles and surrounded by native wildlife, and is a lovely spot to finish a truly spectacular day.
