A beautiful place with really personable and kind guides. All the instructors were legends, very professional. So worth the $$ to see the beautiful river in its lush surroundings. Keen as to do it again.

One of the best things I have ever done. Views were incredible and thought it would be bumpy but was a smooth ride!

Staff was very friendly & polite. Alex was with us in the balloon & he had the right answers to all our questions. We enjoyed the ride thoroughly. Saw a lot of kangaroos in the fields below.
You cannot miss this opportunity when you get to Australia.

We had a fantastic journey on Wednesday. We were glad to get the tour we wanted because we booked last minute. A great way to start the day, except I could never get used to waking up that early on the weekend. All topped off with a thrilling river rafting tour down the Barron. Queensland has so much to offer.
