Cairns Ballooning & Barron Raft Combo

Highlights

• 2 epic activities pick up in Cairns
• Hot air ballooning over the Tablelands at dawn
• White water rafting on the Barron River
• Experienced and highly skilled ballooning pilot and rafting guide

Description

Enjoy two awesome activities that will knock your socks off in one single day! Start the day by soaring above the incredible landscapes of Far North Queensland in an early morning hot air balloon, and then embark on a thrilling white water rafting adventure on the Barron River in the afternoon.

At dawn, take a 40 to 60 minute hot air balloon flight over the Atherton Tablelands, well known as the Cairns Highlands. Your highly skilled Hot Air pilot will make this a flight to remember with spectacular views over the Cairns region, fun and games while packing up the balloon, and a champagne toast on landing.

After your morning in the skies, it's time to take on the water with an exhilarating rafting trip on the Barron River with Foaming Fury. There will be plenty of time following your Hot Air flight to return to your accommodation and get ready for the next part of your ballooning and rafting combo. Your experienced Foaming Fury rafting guide will pick you up in Cairns and take you to the base of the Barron Gorge Hydro Power Station to start your Grade 3 white water rafting (no prior experience necessary). Each raft holds 7 passengers plus your guide, and the team at Foaming Fury will take you through navigating the river.

Experience not one but two incredible tours from Cairns, hot air ballooning with Hot Air and Grade 3 white water rafting with Foaming Fury.
