Swimming skills are required for Štrbački buk. They are not required for Paradise. Follow the skipper’s instructions and tell us anything relevant to your participation before arrival.

Who guides the trip?
Licensed skippers guide the descent. Before departure you receive equipment and instructions to follow throughout the trip. The river carries risks; departures and the programme depend on conditions and the skipper’s assessment.
Does rafting run in the rain?
Rain alone does not mean the trip is cancelled. If river conditions become unsafe, we adjust or reschedule the trip.
