HOW SAFE IS IT?
Statistics prove that rafting is safer than golf or skiing, however, participating in an outdoor adventure does have inherent risks and hazards. We take every possible precaution throughout our operation to provide safe trips. You must take responsibility for following our instructions and guidelines.
DO I HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM?
No! Every person on our trips will be issued a life jacket (personal floatation device) . A detailed safety lecture of instructions is given before the rafts are launched. Please note: Swimming ability is required on our more advanced trips.
CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE SPECIAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS?
We have taken guests with many different medical conditions and physical disabilities on raft trips. It is mandatory that these conditions are disclosed before your reservation is confirmed. A physician's written approval may be necessary for certain conditions. Your guide and trip leader must also be made aware of your situation.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Shorts, bathing suits and river sandals or sneakers are proper attire. Synthetic fabrics are preferable to cotton. If you wear glasses or sunglasses you will need an eyeglass strap. You will find a full variety of supplies in our on site store. We also recommended that you bring a change of dry clothing (left in your car) for after the trip. Leave jewelry and valuables at home or lock them in your car. You may check your keys at our desk for safekeeping.
CAN I REQUEST A PARTICULAR GUIDE?
Sure! Be sure and do so when you first make your reservation. We will do our best to honor your request, however, if they are requested by others, working another section of the river or have the day off, it may not be possible.
What happens if it rains?
You get wet. Just a little earlier than you thought. We raft rain or shine. Whitewater rafting is one of those sports where you are going to be wet from about the time you get on the river until the time you get off. Paddle pants and jackets are available for those cool, rainy days.
What's the best time to go?
Za zdrave, aktivne starije ljude za početak preporučamo "obiteljski rafting", no ne postoje prepreke i za druge izlete. Ipak Vam predlažemo da se posavjetujete s svojim liječnikom.Daily water levels and peak water levels change from season to season. In general, the higher water is in early May.
Do you have age restrictions?
Yes. In higher water participants need to be 8 years and up to join the rafting on Kupa tour. Age restrictions may vary in the early or later season. For children younger than eight years we offer the Family rafting Trip..
I've never been rafting. Can I go??
We don't require previous rafting experience for any of our tours. The guides will give you safety instructions and teach you how to follow guide commands.
Can i bring my camera??
Yes!!! But on your own risk..
