The upper section of Barron Gorge National Park features a towering 265-meter waterfall and a dense rainforest canopy. You can view this elevated tableland before heading down to the river for an afternoon rafting tour.
Most rafting trips take place in the lower section of the gorge, but the upper area offers distinct natural attractions. The 66 MW power station releases water here, ensuring reliable flows through the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
A morning visit to Kuranda fits easily into a half-day rafting schedule. You can explore the suspension walkways or ride the cableway, then head to the rafting meeting point.
