RAFTING
„For several reasons, we can dare to say that white water rafting on the Numedalslågen River in Dagali is definitely among the best rafting experiences in Norway.“
RAFTING IN NORWAY'S WILDERNESS
AN UNIQUE RIVER
The Numedalslågen River in Dagali is perfect for whitewater rafting. It can be powerful or calm, but it is always safe both for family and classic rafting, and extreme adventure.
WILDERNESS
Just below Hardangervidda National Park: wild nature and high mountains all around. You do not meet a city, not even a village, not a highway next to the river. Location in wildness makes the logistics easy and the adventure pure.
SAFETY
You get an easy-to-follow Safety Talk before you go rafting. Each raft has its own guide throughout the whole trip. All the rafting guides have international certificates, and they always have at least 5 years experience on a river of the equal grade.
SERIOUS FUN
The 6-mm thick wetsuit will keep you warm and safe when moving in the river. Our guides love the river. And they love to do serious fun rafting. Then a snack while the photos are being prepared. What a perfect day!

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE NUMEDALSLÅGEN RIVER?
The river is not cold
The water doesn't come from a glacier. It is warm in relation to some other rivers used for rafting in Norway.
Always a safe river
The river bed is various. It alternates regularly between wild rapids and slow-moving pools. Feel the adrenalin in wild water, then slow down, check the crew, breath normaly and continue.
Wave surfing
Under normal and higher flows you can surf with the raft on the waves. The river flows incredibly fast! But the raft stops completely. How is it possible?
Fluctuating water flows
Even at the highest and lowest flows, the guides know how to find safe streams for all the types of trips.
The largest commercially rafted rapid in Europe
At the Numedalslågen River you can shoot the Ismarfoss Rapid. It's not a waterfall. It is a huge, long cascade, the biggist one on commercial rafting trips in Europe. Lose 6 meters vertically on only 100 meters of the river!
Little Zambezi
Certainty the best rafting in Norway! A few weeks in June, only on Numedalslågen in Dagali.

Try yourself
Guess, what a refting center really can be proud of?
No!
Safety is a necessity. Sorry, guys…
Hmm, this is good, especially in the summer, when it is hot. Everyone is happy not to drive any further with the bus, dressed in wetsuit.
But no!
There is always a transfer. The river can not be rafted in a circle…
Heureka! Quality certified wetsuits are important, not only in terms of hygiene! The thermal comfort on the river is the key, but not the only one. Think safety. 6 mm thick neoprene will not only keep you warm, it offers also protection when you fall.
We love our neoprene wetsuits!
We offer 3 thicknesses: 3, 5 and 6 mm. Every year we buy several new, certified wetsuits.
YOU ASK ABOUT RAFTING IN DAGALI
In-raft guides are trained to take you safely down the river.
The overall risk level on a rafting trip using proper precautions and the right equipment is low. Thousands of people safely enjoy rafting trips every year.
You borrow certified neoprene wetsuits, helmet, life jacket, neoprene shoes, and jacket and gloves when it is cold.
We offer 3 thicknesses of neoprenes: 3, 5 and 6 mm.
We use modern, high quality river rafting equipment that we inspect thoroughly before each trip.
Yes. Nothing in the world is more likely. Next question?
Yes. But the water that flows into the neoprene flows out again. It is therefore safer than dry neoprene.

Don’t worry, our photographer takes pictures. At the end of the trip, you can buy all the photos. It costs 250 kr. You get them on a USB flash drive.
We will be sorry, but a problem it is not. The bus is waiting at pre-arranged hidden places. The rest of the trip it is possible to use the bus and meet the group at the end of the trip.
It is better to wear contact lenses for rafting. But we can also handle glasses (fasten them with tape).
Important medicaments, for example for asthma and diabetes, are gathered by the guide at the beginning of the trip, placed in a waterproof first aid kit, which is in the raft.
Yes. The guide is responsible for the raft on the river. The guide is throughout the whole trip on the raft. 1 guide per 1 raft.
