Follow a single file track through the lush rainforest of Wooroonooran National Park to get to the crystal clear waters of the Russell River. After 3 hours of exhilarating white water rafting it's time to relax and enjoy a picnic lunch at the beautiful Golden Hole area. On the river Sports Rafts are group guided. Skilled guides show you how best to negotiate the rapids while maintaining a very safe environment in which you can enjoy the thrills. Our Sports Rafts are super stable. Anyone can do it! A basic understanding of English is required for this tour. |  |  | | | | The North Johnstone is a steep, natural flow river that carves its way through a spectacular volcanic gorge.
