Please note: We organize rafting on the Dniester of different duration: from 2 to 5 days. Choose the desired route in the schedule.

Kayaking on the Dniester River is an extraordinary water adventure in the heart of the Dniester Canyon with many historical, architectural and natural attractions. In a team with experienced Kuluar Splav teamleaders, you will go through simple but spectacular routes lasting from 2 to 5 days, which are selected along the most interesting sections of the river.
The Dniester is an ancient river in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Khmelnytsky and Chernivtsi regions of Ukraine. It combines the indescribable beauty of steep rocky cliffs up to 300 meters above sea level, covered with bright greenery. The panoramas of the winding Dniester riverbed among cozy, tidy villages and interesting sights will not leave indifferent fans of radial hiking. The Dniester Canyon has a peculiarly mild microclimate: spring comes earlier than in the plains, and summer is moderately hot, rarely with thunderstorms that do not last long. This allows for multi-day hikes from mid-April to mid-November.
Inflatable threeseater kayaks, delicious campfire food, stops for rest, swimming and photos, a convenient shared transfer - all to make your outdoor activities comfortable and safe. You can safely go on such a trip with the whole family, including small children, and you can even take your pet with you.
We have our own kayaks that are properly maintained, you get reliable, clean equipment
Rafting becomes more comfortable - group and bulky items, food, drinking water are not loaded into kayaks, but are transported separately in the car

We organize rafting trips on the Dniester of different duration: from 2 to 5 days. You can join us for any number of days according to the schedule.
The group meets at the Ivano-Frankivsk train station and meets the instructor for the first time. Those who need a tent, sleeping bag, and mat can rent them.
The 5-day splav starts near the bridge over the Dniester in the village of Nyzhniv. This is where one of the most beautiful sections of the Dniester Canyon begins. Along the route, there are many nice places to stop and rest. At the parking lot, during the walk, everyone will visit the ancient grotto of a hermit monk, the karst cave Dumka in the complex of small inaccessible caves Strymka, Vertical and Zatyshna.
We go out on the water from the village of Odayiv, where there is an observation deck (a launching pad for hang gliders) with fascinating panoramas of the river and the village of Horiglyady. Not far from the village of Styhla we will see a cave on the canyon slope, and near the village of Stinka on a steep canyon slope there is an ancient cave temple that can be observed from the water. Almost before the end point of the route, we will visit the Kosmyrinsky waterfall.
This section is where the splav trips lasting two and three days begin. The group arrives from Ivano-Frankivsk to the village of Dolyna. And the group of 5 days rafting continues the journey.
On the route, we will make a photo walk to the cascade of Vozyliv waterfalls. We will see ancient travertine rocks that came to the surface about 20 million years ago, and if we are lucky, we will meet gray herons, which are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Before finishing, we will walk to the ruined Maiden's Tears waterfall and visit the Monk's Grotto, where we will set up a camp.
The pearl of the fourth day of the hike is the ruins of the Rakovets Tower on the Dniester, which was built 400 years ago. The entire route passes through the steep slopes of the Dniester Canyon. We will meet many beaches with stone pebbles and several crystal clear springs.
We will take walks to the Kopachy waterfalls. Also, those who wish will be able to climb to the highest point of the Dniester Canyon - Chervona Hora, which is more than 300 meters above sea level and offers amazing views of the Dniester meander.
Groups that have been hiking for two days will leave for Ivano-Frankivsk in the evening. You will be in the city approximately after 19:00
The Yin-Yang Island, which we will see from the observation deck above the Dniester, will be remembered as one of the most picturesque views on our trip. Next to it, we will visit an ancient monk's cell in the rock. And at the finish of the trek everyone will visit the ruins of Chervonohrad Castle, the ruins of the Catholic Church, Dzhuryn waterfall and the Maiden Tears waterfall.
The end of the rafting trips, which lasted 3 and 5 days, is approximately at 16:00. We pack up the kayaks, say goodbye to the Kuluar Splav team and take a private bus to Ivano-Frankivsk.
Depending on the weather conditions, condition and general wishes of the group, the instructor has the right to make changes to the route.
To participate in the hike, you must not have any illnesses incompatible with active tourism.
The program price includes our standard three-person kayaks.
If you prefer a two-person kayak, there is an additional charge of 150 UAH per day of rafting (or 75 UAH per person).
We will reserve a two- or three-person kayak for you, depending on availability.
The group arrives at the place of overnight stay at approximately 18:00, where the escort car is already there and the process of setting up the camp, tables, fire, and herbal tea is underway. The team leader and the camp manager will help you choose a place and set up your tent. Every evening we plan to sit around the campfire and chat with new friends. In the morning, we pack up the tents, the assistant packs up the group's equipment and leaves for the next place to spend the night.
You are probably wondering what we will eat on the trip. Let us reassure you that there is no need to worry. Many participants say that they eat better on the trip than they do at home. The menu consists mainly of simple meals such as porridge and soups. Do not expect gourmet delicacies (although they may be available).
If you don't eat certain foods, be sure to let the manager know so that the trip leader can adjust the menu a little for you. We also recommend bringing some snacks with you, such as nuts or sweets. Your appetite will be much better on the trip than at home.
Please note that the menu presented is approximate. Team leaders usually have their own signature dishes that they like to treat participants to.
