World-Class Whitewater Rafting in Victoria

The wild rapids of Arizona's Colorado River and the Zambezi may be out of reach for Australians this year, but lucky for us Rafting Australia can scratch your adrenaline itch right here in Victoria's stunning alpine region – and Spring is the best time to do it!

East Gippsland is one of only a handful of places around the world where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon, with mountain ranges within an easy two hour drive of the popular seaside holiday towns of the Gippsland Lakes.

Rafting Australia's Linton and Tracey Smith have been operating white-water rafting trips since the 1980s, when a very good friend pointed out to Linton while on a trip down the Nymboida River, that he should be “offering this type of journey and amazing experience for everyone to enjoy.” Linton turned his passion and experience into a full-time business and has never looked back.

During the Spring, Rafting Australia offer one- or two-days of adrenaline pumping world class white-water rafting at Mitta Mitta River Gorge, where you'll find 60 rapids classed from 2 to 4. During your 19km rapid descent you'll plummet between intricate rock formations and tackle the foaming fury of the Mitta Gorge. And in the moments of peace in between you'll experience towering granite river gorges and the exquisite wilderness of the majestic Alpine National Park.

During the Summer, the Lower Mitta Mitta River at Dartmouth provides the best summer rafting in Southern Australia with the longest grade 4 rapid commercially available in Victoria. An enormous volume of water is pumped out of Dartmouth dam to create a deep, fast-flowing river with big waves giving conditions similar to the rivers of New Zealand and Canada.

All tuition and preparation for this incredible journey are included on the morning of your trip by Rafting Australia's experienced guides to make sure you are thoroughly prepared for your rapid descent.
