Summary:
We had an amazing day rafting on the Sjoa River with our guides Mickey and Rob, and the kayaking photographer Kuba. The day was filled with laughter, excitement, very fun rapids and plenty of rafting guide jokes. The vibe was great from the moment we arrived and the river beautiful and wild! We felt very safe after the guides’ introductions and could enjoy the experience to the fullest, even with little rafting experience. The wild water swimming, the crazy Italien rafting guide, the hot shower afterwards and the delicious soup made the day unforgettable! Highly recommended (even in bad weather, as the rain doesn’t bother you at all)!
