Know before you go

  • Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for different weather conditions. Take your sunscreen, swimming suit, and a towel with you. In the case of sunny and warm weather, you will have a chance to take a swim.
  • Wear non-slippery footwear that can get wet and that does not slip away in the water (flip-flops are not a good choice). You will have to get out of the boat occasionally and the river's bottom is stony in many places.
  • Take your lunch box and daily snacks and drinks with you if you feel the local snacks may not be enough for you (they are pretty filling though).
  • We don't serve vegan food or any other dietary requirements (please take your own food with you if you have such).
