Adventure Victoria Rafting 

Linton probably spends more time on the water than he does on the land, and this former winner of the Australian Rafting Championships has navigated top rivers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Asia.

He’s been exploring river systems for 32 years, and has run his rafting business for 22. While no two days are the same on any river, the feedback from Linton’s guests is very consistent. “They love the big rapids, and are blown away by the pristine alpine wilderness and the crystal clear waters,” he says.

A travel writer voted Linton’s Mitta Mitta River trip “one of the top five river journeys in the world”, while a Canadian rafting operator said that his trip through the Murray Gates in the Snowy Mountains “provided some of the best technical rafting in the world, combined with incredible wilderness and wildlife”.

Linton has spent long enough on dry land to co-author Victoria’s rafting standards for the Outdoor Recreation Centre, and to write the rafting risk management policies that have become best practice in Victoria.
