Dunajec River Rafting Zakopane

 

The Dunajec River Rafting organized by OtoTatry in Zakopane is an exciting approximately 9-hour trip. The departure from Zakopane takes place in the early morning hours. Upon prior arrangement, there is a possibility to pick up tourists from their accommodation.

 

It's worth noting that the rafting season runs from April 1st to October 31st. If we want to see the natural wonder of the Pieniny Mountains while flowing through the bends of the Dunajec River, we need to plan our trip during this period.

 

Interestingly, the Pieniny Gorge looks different in summer compared to autumn when colorful leaves cover the trees along the entire route. Both views are spectacular, so true enthusiasts of beautiful landscapes should participate in the rafting experience at least twice, at the beginning or in the middle, and at the end of the rafting season.

 

 

Dunajec River Rafting - Duration and Route Length

 

The length of the rafting route depends on the chosen tour variant (Slovak or Polish):

 

    → Slovak Dunajec River Rafting OtoTatry - route from Majere to Leśnica, 11 kilometers long, with a rafting time of about 2 hours.
   
Polish Dunajec River Rafting (Sromowce Wyżne – Szczawnica route), 15 kilometers long, with a travel time of over 2 hours.

 

Several factors such as weather and water conditions can affect the final rafting time, so it may extend up to 3 hours. The journey itself is exceptional not only because of the magnificent views and the river's reverse flow but also due to the significant level difference of up to 36 meters.

 

 

Dunajec River Rafting Photos

 

A wonderful souvenir from the thrilling Dunajec River is the photos taken during the rafting, which can be ordered from the rafting guide (raft helmsman). The cost of such a photo is only about 10 PLN. Remember that you should order the photo at the rafting harbor before the start of the trip. You will receive the printed photo after the journey and disembarking from the raft.

Pieniny National Park seen from the Dunajec River

 

Rafting on the Dunajec River is a great way to explore the major attractions of Pieniny National Park. Setting off from the rafting harbor in Kąty (Sromowce Wyżne), we will see, among others, Marcelowa Góra, which is off-limits to visitors and has no tourist trails leading to it. We will navigate through one of the two separate channels of the Dunajec, forming a two-kilometer-long island, and see the Aksamitki Mountains, where the legendary Janosik was said to have hidden.

 

Next, the river's current will lead us past the Red Monastery, and we will witness the pearl of the Pieniny Mountains, which is the Three Crowns. This is where the Gorge begins, consisting of 7 loops and magnificent limestone elevations stretching up to 300 meters high. This breathtaking view must be seen with one's own eyes to truly appreciate its incredible beauty.

 

The river's current is generally calm, only occasionally picking up pace before slowing down again. Special rafts made up of five pontoons ensure complete safety during both calm and more thrilling parts of the journey when the current increases its speed.
