Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers
Rafting & hiking in pristine wilderness
Harbouring some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery, from mountain peaks and gorges to temperate rainforest and moorland, this rugged pocket of green is home to Tasmania’s mighty Franklin and Gordon Rivers. Both Franklin River Rafting and Tasmania Expeditions run outstanding, multi-day rafting adventures through what is some of the most inaccessible territory in Australia. The latter also runs guided hikes, both here and in other wild corners of the island.
For more relaxed exploration, Gordon River Cruises runs evocative catamaran tours to Hells Gate (at the mouth of Macquarie Harbour) and along the Gordon River, lunch included.
