Rafting in Georgia

Rafting in Georgia

Whitewater rafting is a recreational outdoor activity which uses an inflatable raft to navigate a river.
Rafting generally represents a new and challenging environment for participants. Dealing with risk and the need for teamwork is often a part of the experience.
Rafting vacations are the ultimate way to escape the grind, disconnect and spend quality time with friends or loved ones, or even make new lifelong friends. Not only that, there is no better way to experience some of the most scenic and remote wilderness areas and seldom-seen landscapes.
Georgia offers several levels of rafting difficulty on its main rivers. Starting from 2-3 on different locations of Aragvi to 2-4 on River Mtkvari up to 2-5 on river Rioni.
Longest rafting route located on River Rioni is more than 30km long and takes 2 days of journey with one night camping break going through the most beautiful parts of Georgia.
Rafting season starts from late April and lasts till mid-October. The highest levels are foreseen for May and June, in July August and September difficulty goes down to Grade 2.

1 Day Rafting

The descent down the whitewaters in inflatable boats is a fun sport that attracts more and more people across the world and  is well established in Georgia for more than 10 years. Rafting Tours are carried out on the river Pshavis Aragvi (15 km, 1h30min, cat. II-III), a tour with moderate difficulties that is enjoyable for everyone but nevertheless presents sufficient action to get splashed and be thrilled. The finish / take out is directly at the center .

As you will be accompanied by experienced guides, there are no preconditions concerning physical fitness and you will be equipped with life jackets and helmets to avoid injuries in the rather unlikely event of falling into the water. However, you should know how to swim, be in good health and not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also, it is important to bring sturdy shoes that can handle wetness.
