It takes place on the river Kupa. The distance traveled is between
30-50 km, however this distance
is customized according to each groups preferences. We camp on the
riverbank and enjoy the nature.
Paddling
for several hours a day is hard, so first of all you will have to
expect physical strain. However, the sore muscles are worth it when you
get to experience: fast flowing waters that make your adrenaline rush,
untouched nature, wild animals such as: fishes ducks, mosquitos and
perhaps even a bear, fresh air and several waterfalls.
The
best time for rafting is between June 1st and September 15th. In this
period the night temperatures are tolerable and the water is ideal for
swimming. It is also the time when nature is most “alive” and there is
plenty to see. This type of activity is aimed towards nature lovers,
sportsmen, adventurers and everyone willing to give it a go. However,
as a “Robinson” a long beard is a must! The trip includes the
transports to the river and back. Duration of the trip is 2 – 7 days,
and it depends on the groups’ enthusiasm and endurance. Breaks for
sleeping, eating and swimming are also included. The group can be
accompanied by an experienced guide.
