Family Rafting on the Struma River in Kresna Gorge

Family rafting on the Struma River in Kresna Gorge turns an ordinary day out into a refreshing adventure with the children. Share a ride down the river, discover the wild scenery along its banks and make memories that the whole family can look back on together.

A shared adventure beyond your everyday routine

Rafting is a chance to step outside your comfort zone and try something exciting with the people closest to you. Working together in the raft, helping one another and sharing the fun make it a rewarding way to strengthen family bonds.

Summer and autumn conditions lend themselves to gentler rafting that children can enjoy too. Show them a different way to spend their free time, surrounded by the natural beauty of Kresna Gorge. Jumping into river pools and bathing beneath waterfalls are also part of the river adventure described by the organiser, adding to the sense of discovery and shared enjoyment.

Duration, location and group format

The experience lasts 3 hours and takes place on the Struma River near Kresna, in Blagoevgrad Province. Your family joins a group that also includes other participants you may not know; this is not a private rafting trip exclusively for your party.

The family group sizes listed by the organiser are one adult with one child, two adults with one child, two adults with two children, or three adults with three children. There is also provision for adding one or two more adults. Whatever your group size, each child in the raft must have one adult responsible for them.

What is included

• All equipment needed for the rafting trip.
• A qualified rafting instructor and an on-site safety briefing.
• Transport back to the meeting point after the descent.
• Insurance for the rafting descent.

Requirements for children

The minimum age is 6. The child arrangements in this offer apply to children up to the age of 14. Children aged 6–14 must travel in the same raft as a parent or guardian.

Anyone under 18 may participate only with a parent present and with parental consent. One adult must be responsible for each child in the raft, so keep this requirement in mind when planning your family group.

What to bring for yourself and your child

• Swimwear and a T-shirt.
• Footwear that stays securely on your feet, such as trainers or suitable strapped sandals, but not flip-flops.
• Sunscreen.
• A towel and a spare set of clothes for after the rafting trip.

Helmets and buoyancy aids are provided on site. Wetsuits and water boots are available on request for both you and your child. Arrive at the meeting point 30 minutes before your agreed start time.

Operating schedule and provider conditions

The source lists free cancellation up to 48 hours before the agreed time. This is the experience provider's condition and should not automatically be treated as a general Adventico policy.
