Struma River Kayaking in the Kresna Gorge

Struma River kayaking in the Kresna Gorge puts you right beside the waves in a two-person kayak. Rather than watching the river from a distance, you meet its white water head-on, with the scenic gorge surrounding you throughout the adventure.

A new challenge after rafting

This programme is intended for people who already have rafting experience and want a more immediate encounter with the river. A kayak keeps you close to the water and at the front of the action, making each wave feel more direct. The experience is presented as a step up in adrenaline from rafting, rather than an introduction for complete beginners with no rafting background.

How the experience changes with the season

In spring, when the water is high, you share the two-person kayak with your guide. During the summer months, a different arrangement may be possible: your guide can travel alongside you in a separate boat while you control your own kayak. This is a summer possibility, not a guarantee that every trip uses this format.

Allow around three hours for the complete experience. It is a group activity, and other participants may be people you have not met before.

What is included

• Full equipment: helmet, wetsuit, buoyancy aid, water boots, paddle and jacket.
• A qualified instructor and an on-site briefing.
• Transport along the activity route.
• Insurance for the descent.

What to bring and when to arrive

Bring swimwear and a towel. The specialist equipment you need on the river is supplied on site, including your helmet, wetsuit, buoyancy aid and jacket.

Arrive at the meeting point 30 minutes before your reserved time to allow for the arrangements before the descent.

Participation, season and weather

You must be at least 18 years old and have previous rafting experience.

The stated operating season runs from 15 April to 30 October, every day from Monday to Sunday, between 10:00 and 17:00. This is a weather-dependent activity, so individual trips are subject to the weather conditions.

Cancellation condition stated by the source provider

The provider's source offer states that cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the reserved time. This is a condition of that source offer and does not automatically become a term of an Adventico voucher.

Give the thrill of the Struma's white water

Choose an Adventico voucher for Struma River kayaking for yourself or for someone with rafting experience who wants a different way to enjoy the river. You are buying an experience voucher, not an instantly confirmed place on a particular date or at a particular time. The reservation is arranged separately.
