Rely on our expert knowledge of the river, your safety, comfort and enjoyment are our priorities. Our guides are professionals, chosen for their wilderness rafting, experience, culinary, first aid and interpretation skills. Our senior guide has been running commercial tours on the Franklin since 1987 for Wildtrek and Peregrine.
Plenty of delicious and nutritious cuisine is prepared with the emphasis on fresh Tasmanian produce. If you have any special dietary requirements just let us know in advance.
No previous rafting experience necessary, but please be aware that expedition rafting in a remote area does require a medium fitness level and a sense of adventure. The minimum age is 16 or lower by arrangement. There is no maximum age limit. Several people in their seventies have successfully completed river trips.
We are happy to customize your tour (duration, dates and start and finish location) if you have a group of four or more. Please enquire regarding discounts for groups of three or more.
Should you wish to discuss any aspect of these tours please contact Brett on 1800-1111-42 anytime.
