Kayaking on the Struma River

For kayaking in fast water with an inflatable kayak we could say that it is quite "gentle" compared to standard plastic kayaks for fast water. An inflatable kayak is easier to handle for beginners or people with little experience. The good thing here is that a collision with a rock or stone will be cushioned.

At the same time, the adrenaline rush in quite a bit more because you are on the front line constantly and in close proximity to the water. By comparison in rafting the boat takes a higher position. When kayaking on the river. Struma we use a two-seater inflatable kayak Gumotex, and on the second place a professional guide descends with you. All the time your guide gives instructions and explains what is the best line to take through the rapids. The course also has relaxed sections so you'll have a chance to debrief how you're doing, ask any questions you're wondering or just catch your breath before the next rapid.
