What makes Buzau rafting special
The Buzau River offers ideal conditions for rafting thanks to its constant flow and varied route that alternates rapid sections with calm natural pools. The 12-kilometer route between Nehoiașu and Chirlești crosses spectacular mountain landscapes, offering participants the opportunity to discover the wild beauty of northern Buzau County.
The area is located at the border with Brașov County, between the Siriu and Penteleu Mountains, and includes numerous tourist attractions: cave settlements, rock formations, mountain lakes, waterfalls and geological curiosities like the Living Fire.
How the adventure unfolds
The experience begins with detailed instructions on navigation techniques and safety measures. The team of professional guides, with extensive experience in sport and recreational rafting, will explain every aspect of the descent.
The step-by-step process:
- Putting on complete neoprene equipment (wetsuit, boots, helmet, life vest)
- Technical and safety briefing at the starting point in Nehoiașu
- Descending the rapids with the guide in the boat (4-8 participants per boat)
- Breaks in natural pools for relaxation and photos
- End of adventure at Chirlești, with return transport to starting point
Equipment and safety
All participants receive complete professional equipment: neoprene wetsuit that ensures thermal insulation, special footwear, protective helmet and mandatory life vest. The neoprene works by forming a water film between body and suit, which heats up and isolates the body from the external environment.
Safety measures include the presence of a support vehicle throughout the descent, certified guides in each boat and drinking water reserves. The difficulty level is medium, and risks are practically non-existent, making the activity accessible to everyone.
