Why try rafting in the Carpathians?
Tourists are used to getting acquainted with the Carpathian majestic mountains, trampling the paths on their slopes. However, rafting in the Carpathians allows you to inspect under another perspective, to feel all the rapid water flows, to get through energy and the capacity of the mountains where the elements are raging.
At the Bukovel Resort, rafting is one of the popular types of outdoor activities that is in high demand, and that is why:
- rivers with turbulent currents, descending streams, rocky rapids are found only among the mountainous landscapes of the Carpathians;
- picturesque landscapes around add a special sense of ‘wonder’, where there is only you and nature, and in the surrounding spruce forests, no human foot has ever set foot;
It is better to try once than to hear about an unforgettable experience in the Carpathia
Who is rafting suitable for?
Anyone who is not afraid of the water element and mountain vines can try themselves in rafting. Children (only with parental consent) and adults are allowed to participate in the rafting. Experience in rafting on Bukovel is not required. Self-confidence, a thirst for adventure and a desire to try something new are enough!
Popular river routes
Water routes of varying complexity and duration are offered to the choice of holidaymakers:
- From April to July, tourists are waiting for a busy interesting route from the village of Dzembronya. It has a category of complexity, which provides a sense of total extreme and adrenaline. The alloy lasts about an hour and takes 8 km away. Believe me, for the river it is oh no little!
- From August to September, rafting in Krasnyk and Bystrets villages of the second category of difficulty is available. Those who prefer calmer, more measured rafting among picturesque landscapes get a double dose of aesthetic and extreme pleasure.
How does the rafting go?
No one is allowed to go rafting without prior preparation. Everything happens quite quickly and informatively, including:
- briefing;
- review of the basic rules of safety and behaviour in emergency conditions and situations that may arise;
- selection of equipment (kayaks, rafts, canoes, paddles, vests, helmets, protective elements, special boots);
- photography;
- unforgettable rafting.
Under the supervision of instructors, who must be on each watercraft, the rafting trips are completely safe and of a high standard!
Advice for beginners: if you are rafting for the first time, do not insist on rafting alone. It is better to get basic skills on a ‘boat’ with an instructor and only then go for free rafting.
