Water by Nature (Tasmania) - The Franklin River carves its way through some of the most beautiful, rugged and inaccessible country in the world. Its significance was recognized in 1982 when it was listed as a World Heritage Area. On your expedition you will experience surging rapids, tranquil gorges and pristine forests of myrtle, leatherwood and the ancient huon pine. Platypus, wallabies, quolls (marsupial tiger cats), cormorants and white breasted sea eagles are often encountered. Negotiating the untamed waters of the Franklin is one of the worlds true adventures. Water by Nature offers a ten day expedition rafting the full navigable length of the river, a seven day expedition on the Upper Franklin and a five day tour on the Lower Franklin. Our seven and ten day tours include a day walk (optional) to the imposing Frenchman's Cap 1443 metres, as well as rafting through one of Tasmania's deepest and most impressive gorges. On the five and ten day departures you will enjoy a spectacular seaplane flight to Strahan. Our guides are trained in wilderness rafting, camp craft, first aid and environmental interpretation. Our senior guide has been running commercial tours on the Franklin since 1987 for Wildtrek and Peregrine. Some rapids require portaging, however we have developed safe and efficient methods of negotiating them. Delicious and nutritious cuisine is prepared with fresh Tasmanian produce. If you have any special dietary requirements just let us know in advance.
