The
North Johnstone is a steep, natural flow river that carves
its way through a spectacular volcanic gorge. Limited
frequency of departures, restricted group sizes and
stringent National Park permits ensure that the North
Johnstone River and surrounding ancient rainforests are
preserved for all time, enabling our rafters a rare glimpse
of a very precious and untouched part of North Queensland’s
World Heritage Rainforests.
Our 4 Day Expedition is rated in the Top 10 wilderness
adventures in the world, and is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience! From the exhilarating helicopter in, through 4
days of gigantic Grade 5 rapids, breathtaking scenery and
unforgettable companions, to the serenity of camping 3
nights under the stars in riverside rainforest clearings,
you’ll never experience anything like it.
