F.A.Q. – River Rafting tours in Voss with Outdoor Norway and our answers.
What is the best time of the year to do the trip?
The rivers change from May to October.
High water is usually from June to mid July during the snow melting season. For the real whitewater enthusiast, this would be an exciting time to book on our Whitewater kayak tour as the rapids are at their biggest.
That being said, the amazing scenery along the Raundal Canyon makes it a fantastic experience all summer long. The Raundal River is not dam controlled and water levels vary all season long, making it an excellent choice at any time during the season
Do I need experience to go whitewater kayaking?
No, you don’t. Most of our guests are first-timers and our trips, equipment, and briefings are designed to put beginners at ease. Our experienced guides will provide a safety orientation before you get on the water and coach you the whole way through the rapids. No previous whitewater experience is necessary.
Do we need to be physically fit to go rafting?
We recommend that all of our rafters be in good physical health.
If you have a medical issue but you still want to go rafting, we always recommend you check with your doctor first.
What to bring with me?
- Swimming clothes ( to wear underneath the wetsuit)
- Thermal underwear if cold
- Change of clothes (for after the rafting tour)
- Suncream
Weather limitations: Whitewater rafting is a great activity to do on sunny or rainy day’s
Are any of the whitewater trips suitable for seniors?
There is no maximum age limit for our rafting tours – so long as you’re physically fit you’re welcome aboard!
Will I fall out the boat? What should I do if I do fall?
You will definitely get wet on this trip. The kayak has a lot contact in and sometimes also with you half in and under the water for a short moment.
It’s exciting, but it can be disorienting and a little overwhelming at first.
Before you go on any trip, you’ll be given extensive instructions on what to do and how to react. Follow your guide’s instructions.
Also you are not alone in the kayak. Our guide sits driect behind you and keeps you safe.
Should I tip my guide?
Tip is not a regular thing in Norway as it’s in USA. Your guide works hard to ensure that you have a fun, yet safe rafting adventure and always committed to the Outdoor Norway high standard guided tour.
Tip is widely accepted as the industry norm; and tipping is always appreciated but never expected. It stays totally at your own discretion.
When does your season start and end?
We start kayaking as soon as the ice is off the river, and up until the snow falls! This is usually between the start of May to the end of October.
It’s all depending on Mother Nature!
Refund Guarantee
If your trip is cancelled due to COVID choose from free date changes, account credit or full refund.
FULL FINANCIAL PROTECTION
Your money is safe. Every booking fully financially protected.
