Rafting on the Snov River by kayak is the best option for lovers of fast currents, beautiful secluded landscapes and picturesque forested banks. For a two-day trip in the company of experienced Kuluar Splav team leaders, we offer easy but interesting sections of the river; the route will include a portage around a water obstacle in the form of a dam with a "foam bath". The Snov is a tributary of the Desna, flowing through the Chernihiv region, a river with a very strong current in spring, a winding riverbed and cozy atmospheric villages. Inflatable two- and three-seat kayaks, delicious camping food, stops for rest, swimming and photos, comfortable transfer — everything to make your active vacation comfortable and safe. You can safely go on such a trip with the whole family, including small children, and even bring your pet along.
During the warm season, we run tours every weekend for group tours of 8 to 30 participants.
You can order an individual tour or a corporate event for teams of 6 to 150 people on any convenient dates. Just contact our manager!
We also suggest checking out our other rafting routes:
From reliable kayaks and experienced team leaders to delicious campfire-cooked meals and music speakers for the mood :)
If needed, we will provide a consultation on preparing for the trip.
We do not cancel or reschedule groups. If the manager has given the go-ahead to buy a ticket, you can safely purchase it. The program will not be canceled through our fault.
Our manager has repeatedly taken part in kayaking trips and will advise you with expert knowledge.
Experienced Kuluar club team leaders will accompany participants throughout the entire program.
Over the years of the club's work, we have developed an algorithm that allows us to organize programs as efficiently as possible. You can see this for yourself by applying to participate.
More than 12,000 participants have already gone with Kuluar, and 97.8% were satisfied. We're sure you will be too!
