An experience not to be missed! This was one of the highlights of a tour to Poland last year. - Try to book this adventure before you arrive at raft station. You can do this from different tour operators offering this service online. This river rafting cruise is only available in summer.

But the region is really pretty, with mountains, lakes, rivers and tiny villages. The rafting down the Dunjec River Gorge was particularly enjoyable. The views are breathtaking and, since the weather was cool and pleasant, we found it to be very relaxing as well. The boats men did not speak English, so you miss out a bit. But the spectacular views make up for everything. It was a fairly smooth ride, with Slovakia on one side and Poland on the other. You also cross the border for a short while. Overall, a very worthwhile fun trip.</p>

There was some confusion as to our pick up point, but Andrew followed up via our hotel and made it all happen seamlessly.<br/> The raft journey was in Polish so needed to read about what we were seeing. Countryside wonderful.<br/> Overall a great experience.</p>

The rafting through the river gorge... - <p>The rafting through the river gorge is highly recommended, beautiful scenery, peaceful, lots to see and a very unusual activity. However, the second part of the trip was very disappointing! The tour was booked through Viator's own website yet when it came to the day of the tour it turned out that the booking had been accepted for a Monday - when the castle is closed!! The fact that the guide explained how interesting it is inside the castle DID NOT make up for the fact that we could not see it. It was even suggested that we had booked to early! Be very careful of dates when booking this trip, and perhaps make a specific check to ensure that the whole day's activities are available.</p>
