Dunajec River Rafting: The 15 Best Trips

15 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $33

Flat wooden rafts, poled by men in embroidered jackets, through a limestone gorge with Slovakia on the other bank. It is calm water, not white water. These 15 trips differ on whether Zakopane, the chairlift or the thermal baths are bolted onto the day, and the season runs spring to autumn only.

“From when author collected us from our hotel our beautiful day began. Our vehicle was spotlessly clean & well aired which was perfect as it was a hot day with a 2 hour journey ahead. Author was a lovely young man who spoke good English, which is always a bonus when you only speak one language yourself. Our trip was a lovely day with the river rafting the best part. 2 hours of peace & pure beauty. There was 6 of us including a 10yr & 15 yr old who both appriciated the day. Author was very adaptable to our needs & allowed us to cut our day short so…”
