More than just a white-water adventure, rafting the Franklin River takes you on a journey through one of the last great wildernesses on Earth.

Carving its way through Tasmania’s World Heritage-listed South-West, the Franklin flows through tranquil reaches, surging rapids and spectacular gorges. Along the way, you might spot a platypus in the eddies, a sea eagle soaring above, or pink robins darting around the rivers edge.

The devoted team of highly experienced guides is looking forward to sharing their deep respect and love for this truly magical place with you. This ‘bucket list’ trip lets you connect with nature, recharge, and awaken your adventurous spirit.

Water by Nature Tasmania has been guiding people down the Franklin River since 2003. Founded by Brett, who’s been paddling here since 1987, the company is shaped by decades of hands-on experience and a deep respect for this remarkable river. Their main lead guides — Brett, Klaudia, Nick and Jed — have collectively spent more than 3000 days on the Franklin. Safety is a core part of their ethos: they approach each trip with great care and an intimate understanding of how the river behaves in all conditions.

Let them help you plan the Franklin River adventure you’ve been dreaming of.
