Rafting on the Una
Safety and skippers on the Una
Licensed skippers guide every descent. Before departure you get equipment and instructions, and we adapt the programme to river conditions.
Licensed skippers
Our skippers hold licences issued by the Mostar Harbour Master’s Office (Lučka kapetanija Mostar). Some of our skippers also hold an IRF (International Rafting Federation) licence.
Before your first paddle stroke, your skipper explains the equipment, paddle strokes and how to behave on the water, guides the descent and assesses river conditions.
Equipment
A buoyancy aid, helmet, paddle, wetsuit and water shoes are included in the price on both routes. You collect your equipment at Japodski otoci.
Rules on the water
Follow your skipper’s instructions throughout the trip. The river carries risks; departures and the programme depend on conditions and the skipper’s assessment.
We do not raft over the Štrbački buk waterfall itself. Rafting starts below it.
Jumps and extra stops are optional, when conditions allow and your skipper approves.
Rain alone is not a reason to postpone rafting. Exceptionally high water, most often in spring, may mean a change of route section.
