Rafting on Buzau (Nehoiu)

Rafting on Buzau - adrenaline in the group

Anyone who can go rafting on Buzau does not even need to know how to swim because the inflatable vests that are part of the mandatory equipment do not allow the body to be immersed in the water. So even your girlfriends who stay at the sea and hang out only on the shore, can go rafting. Those who venture must be adventurous, brave and try as much as possible to maintain their position in the boat. This sport will forever change their idea of ​​going to the mountains or moving in nature and will give them extraordinary sensations in the fight with the waves and rocks of the swirling river.

The rafting route starts upstream from Nehoiu, from the town of Nehoiasu and is approximately 12 km long, up to Chirlesti. The river sections have rapids that create thrills but also areas with natural pools where the team can get off the boats and cool off. The degree of difficulty of the route is of medium level, the risks are practically non-existent, so that river rafting is addressed to all those who wish to do it.

Before starting the rafting descent, the crew will be trained on how the activity will proceed and everything that needs to be done during the entire descent, as well as actions in special cases. The team of instructors has vast experience in sport and recreational rafting, having hundreds of descents, invited in 2007 to represent Romania at the World Rafting Championship in South Korea.

The participants' cars will be left in the parking lot provided at the starting point and at the end of the activity the drivers will be transported by our team upstream to retrieve them. For those who arrive in the area by public transport, we offer them the opportunity to leave their luggage and valuables in the care of our staff, and retrieve them after the rafting tour is over.

Groups made up of at least 6 payers can choose the day on which to come rafting. For groups smaller than 6 people, rafting tours are organized on Saturdays and Sundays, being scheduled in the morning, depending on the Siriu dam schedule and flow rates. The crew of a boat consists of 4-8 participants + 1 guide. Rafting boats are special boats, built from a material that is very resistant to friction and shock.

The participants will be properly equipped for river rafting, the equipment consisting of overalls and neoprene shoes, to ensure thermal comfort when in contact with the water, so that regardless of the water temperature or in rainy conditions, the body does not feel the low temperature. Participants will be required to wear a helmet and life jacket. Neoprene is a material specially created to insulate thermally, by forming a film of water between the body and the suit, a film that heats up and creates insulation from the outside environment. The suit is put on correctly, wetted beforehand. All equipment is provided by Romanian Adventure, you only need a bathing suit and a towel.
