The 8 day trip covers the full length of the river from the Collingwood Bridge on the Lyell Highway to the west coast township of Strahan, and runs over two weekends to minimise time off needed to be taken from work.
The 10 day trips includes an attempt at reaching the summit of Frenchmans Cap (weather permitting) which is a two day walk from the Lyell Highway, and avoids the muddy trek across the Lodden Plains. Sample itinerary.
Franklin River Rafting also cater for groups who want a tailored adventure taking more or less than the 8 or 10 day trips.
