EXHILIRATING HELI FLIGHT

North Johnstone is the ultimate wilderness adventure. It is a steep, natural flow river that carves its way through a spectacular volcanic gorge.

Limited frequency of departures, restricted group sizes and stringent National Park permits ensure that the North Johnstone River and surrounding ancient rainforests are preserved for all time, enabling rafters a rare glimpse of a very precious and untouched part of North Queensland’s World Heritage Rainforests.

The 4 Day Expedition is rated one of the Top 10 wilderness adventures in the world, and is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

From the exhilarating helicopter in, through 4 days of gigantic Grade 5 rapids, breathtaking scenery and unforgettable companions, to the serenity of camping 3 nights under the stars in riverside rainforest clearings, you’ll never experience anything like it.
