Description - What to expect

Meet your expert instructor to receive your rafting equipment including wetsuits, shoes, helmets, and life jackets, and start your Valldal rafting with a transfer to the starting point. Listen to your guide's instructions about safety considerations and the orders to be followed during the descent. Then, hop on your boat and start your amazing adventure.

You will start with exciting rapids and waves through the first section of the Valldøla River. You will take your first break on the riverbanks as the river calms. All guests get the opportunity to swim a fun river rapid. It is a surprising and rewarding experience to feel the power of the river as you safely float through the waves. Once everyone has cooled off enough swimming in the river we continue downstream through high mountains and endless fields of strawberries.

Just over halfway point we pull out and take lunch stop along the river. We light a fire, warm water, and serve a local delicacy, Svele, with local strawberries and cream—a great way to refuel before setting out on the final, and swiftest section of the river. The grade steepens and rapids increase in both number and size.

After 11km of beautiful scenery, adventure, and excitement the river flows quietly out into Norddalsfjord through the Valldal village, where we head for shore. Back at the office we dry off, warm up, and reminisce about the wonderful rafting, at which point your Valldal rafting adventure comes to an end.
