Then you receive a small breakfast from us and we head to our office where you are required to fill in some papers before the tour can start. There, you can also leave your personal belongings which shouldn't get wet. Next, we drive in our jeep to the starting point of our tour where your guide goes through all the safety key points and briefs you about the usage of the equipment. We enter the gorge and the rafting adventure can begin. If you don't feel comfortable to enter the gorge from the very steep and high part, we offer an easier entrance.
