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.

We are rafting in inflatable GUMOTEX rafts that can fit 4 - 7 persons, through many rapids and sedge barriers, where you will feel a rush of the adrenaline and excitement of this sport. The guide is with you in your raft, coordinating and steering. Beside the rafts and paddle we will provide you with professional gear: Helmet, life jacket, neopren suits, neopren shoes, anorak jackets (in cold days) and a waterproof barrel which you can use for your snacks, drinks and other non valuable belongings.

Since it is a trip that is highly dependent on weather conditions, in case of extremely unfavorable conditions, Rastoke active travel agency reserves the right to cancel or postpone the rafting trip, due to concern for the safety of the guests. If the alternative proposed date does not suit you, the payment will be fully refunded.

About 2-3 hours. Depending on how big group is and the experiences of the guests, sometimes our guides will need more time to ensure everyone's safety and properly explain and assist you.

Do children have a discount?

Children under 12 years old have a 30% discount on the price. The minimum age for rafting is usually 8 years, but this also depends on the conditions on the river and the water level.

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.
