Rafting on Korana river
Literally get to know Rastoke and the famous waterfalls! Rafting on the Korana River takes this most beautiful route, through the very heart of the Rastoke, a waterfall village. If you are a fan of adrenaline, this challenge is right for you. Rafting, however, is only possible during autumn, winter and early spring, as it largely depends on the water level of the river, which must be quite high. If you are interested, feel free to send us an inquiry in order to check the water level and the possibility of organizing this trip.

When is the best season for rafting?
Rafting can be done from September to May, as long as the weather conditions are favorable, because this trip depends a lot on the water level of the river, it should be higher than usual. Therefore, it is best to contact us in advance to check whether the water level is both favorable and safe enough for the trip.

Rafting can be organized even in the rain, as part of the equipment, you will get neoprene suits that protect you from the cold, so your trip can be as pleasant as possible.
