The day starts on the water. With an instructor in your boat you take the longest rafting run of the season down the Struma, through rapids of different strength and calmer stretches between the rock walls of the Kresna Gorge. In spring the river is higher and the route is about 12 km; from August it is about 8 km. After the rafting you walk up to Kazanite, a small mountain river that has carved round pools into the rock. The water is cold and clear, and you jump from the waterfalls and swim in the pools.
If you only want the river, Struma rafting is the same run on its own for €40 and starts from 2 people. Want a full canyon with slides and longer swims? Vlahi river canyoning is a separate canyon in the Pirin foothills, 3 to 4 hours, for €45. This day puts the rafting and the waterfalls at Kazanite together, which is why groups, stag dos and friends on a summer weekend usually pick it. It is the main day of our Summer Stag, see the stag do packages in Sofia.
The €55 covers the whole day: the rafting gear, a qualified rafting instructor, the safety briefing, transport along the rafting route, the walk to Kazanite, insurance, changing rooms and outdoor showers, lockers and guarded parking at the base.
Rafting and canyoning start from a rafting base on the Struma river in the Kresna Gorge, about 90 minutes south of Sofia, and Kazanite is a short walk from the river. You can drive and park at the base, or we pick you up from your hotel in Sofia and bring you back: the price is for the whole car or van, there and back, paid in cash to the driver. We send the exact meeting point when we confirm. Rila Monastery is about an hour away, and Bansko and Melnik are close too.
Rafting and canyoning on the Struma and at Kazanite, €55 per person for about 4 hours, from 4 people. Pick a date and tell us how many of you are coming. Checking a date is free.
