Rafting on the Saalach River in the Berchtesgadener Land"The tour was good.
Unfortunately, the water level was a bit low, resulting in few rapids and somewhat slow progress at times.
Our guide wasn't very entertaining.
The other boats seemed to be having more fun!
Navigation was practically nonexistent.
We noticed much clearer and more direct instructions from a neighboring boat.
One star deducted for the subpar guide.
The second star deducted is for the poor communication before and after the tour. One person said: don't bring anything, while another said: bring a bag with towels and a change of clothes.
After the tour, we stood on the side of the road for about 20 minutes in our swimsuits/otherwise naked, waiting for the bus back. Providing a small bottle of water for each participant after the tour, which lasted about two and a half hours, wouldn't have been too difficult, as the heat (31°C) and not drinking for two and a half hours left us completely dehydrated, even though we were in or on the water the whole time.
The entire process before and after the tour seems uncoordinated and somewhat chaotic."Jens · July 2026
