We had an awesome afternoon on the Barron River. Sambo was a fantastic guide, he worked very hard keeping us all safely in our raft.

My family of 5 went Barron river rafting and it was great! This river was an exhilarating experience perfect for a family or group of friends. The rapids were the perfect balance of fun and safe. Our tour guides, Harry and Marco were extremely friendly and made sure we felt safe! Thumb up to the photographer as well. She took amazing photos. I cannot recommend this more!
