Providing the best equipment, great food and what many have called “the journey-of- a-lifetime” down one of the most beautiful, inspiring and isolated rivers in the world. People have described our 8 and 10-day whitewater rafting tours of the Franklin River as one of the most amazing experiences of their life. Tasmania’s Franklin River provides one of the best expedition rafting tours on the planet. The best way to truly experience its spectacular magic and majesty is on a whitewater rafting tour with Franklin River Rafting. With its clear pure water and even cleaner air, the Franklin is one of the last truly wild rivers running through one of the most undisturbed environments on Earth.

    The eight-day trips cover the full length of the river from the Collingwood Bridge on the Lyell Highway to the West Coast township of Strahan. Running over two weekends the eight-day full river trips are ideal for those wanting to see the Franklin River but can only afford to take a little time off work. See the beautiful Irenabyss, the awe-inspiring Great Ravine and the magnificent Rock Island Bend best known as the image that helped save the river by Peter Dombrovskis. 30 years since the Franklin River was saved and the area declared a UNESCO World Heritage Area, it still continues to inspire. Come celebrate this beautiful place with us. This trip doesn't include the Frenchmans Cap hike. If you really want to summit the Cap as part of your Franklin River Rafting adventure, a ten-day expedition is the one for you.
