Take a look at similar programmes we run:
Kayaking on the Irsha and Teteriv rivers is an unusual combination of two water routes, an adventure suitable both for beginners and for tourists with a high level of preparation. The Irsha is a shallow, very fast and clean river, flowing through an almost deserted and uninhabited area. Along the route, together with experienced Kuluar Splav team leaders, tourists will need to pass rocky sections with simple rapids and small riffles, maneuver a lot through the bends of the riverbed, and make a few portages around obstacles. After passing 36 kilometers along the Irsha, we enter the Teteriv River with new landscapes and a weaker current. We start in Zhytomyr region and finish in Kyiv region. 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.
In 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 the manager!
We also suggest checking out our other rafting routes:
From reliable kayaks and experienced team leaders to delicious food cooked over a campfire, and music speakers for the mood :)
If necessary, we will provide a consultation on preparing for the rafting 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. There will be no cancellation of the program due to our fault.
The manager has repeatedly taken part in rafting trips and will advise you with expert knowledge.
Experienced team leaders of the Kuluar club will accompany participants throughout the entire program.
Over the time the club has been operating, we have developed an algorithm that allows us to organize programs as efficiently as possible. You can verify this yourself by applying to participate.
More than 12,000 participants have already gone through Kuluar, and 97.8% were satisfied. We are confident you will be too!
