Rafting Family Tour + Canyoning

Welcome to a family-friendly package tour combining rafting and canyoning! This is perfect for families wanting new challenges, excitement, nature-based experiences and mastery. 

Customise your own package in our booking portal. Remember to select a departure for both rafting and canyoning. 

This is a family-friendly rafting trip offering speed and excitement adapted to suit the age of the participants. The minimum length of this trip is approx. 4 km. This is mostly a gentle rafting trip with as much play and swimming as possible, depending on the river level, temperature and the wishes of the participants. The biggest and most exciting rapids come towards the end of the trip. Cliff jumping is also on the programme.

The canyoning trip starts in the giant’s kettle Gardshølen and then follows the canyon down with the current to the steepest point where the water cascades into the river Driva. We then climb a via ferrata above the foaming Driva. Depending on the conditions, you can even have a refreshing swim under the waterfalls. 

Practical information:
This trip is graded 1-2 out of 6 on the international scale of river difficulty. There is no minimum age for this activity, but a minimum height requirement of 116 cm applies owing to the equipment and clothing. This trip is best suited for children aged 6-13.
