This is a relaxed trip (assuming Mum and Dad have been GOOD to their children this year!) passing outstanding mountain scenery. We stop at a stream that comes down from Jostedals most beautiful waterfall (Geisdalsfossen) to play in the water and have a hot chocolate drink, a few selfies and then we are on our way again.
This trip is also the start of the ELVEPURKA trip, so if you are not sure which trip your children can take, we can all try the LITTLE PIGGIES section and make a decision together before we enter the ELVEPURKA section of the river. Then we have a chance to continue further down into the ELVEPURKA section if parents, children and guide agree
The river here in Jostedal is perfect for rafting, as the waves get bigger and bigger the further we go. So if you are nervous we can take you out of the raft at any time – but there is no reason for that, is there!
