Raft The Derwent River, the upper reaches of Hobart's beautiful Derwent River, which winds through the tranquil Derwent Valley. This is an ideal river to introduce you to the excitement of white water rafting, knowing the rapids are graded only 1/2 – definately a trip the family can do together!

Situated just one hour north of the Hobart CBD, this is an ideal day trip. The Derwent River is a gentle river to raft and suitable for all ages. As we make our way along the river past farmland you will encounter banks lined with weeping willows and the occasional Blackwood and gum trees.
