Guided rafting trip for the entire family and a good oppurtunity to do something fun together. In between family friendly rapids you will get the chance to swim in the river, jump off cliffs, play games and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Once you are all dressed in a wetsuit, life jacket and helmet, our bus will take you to the river. There you will get instructions and training, before our experienced guides lead you safely down the river in a controlled and fun manner. This is a great introduction to an exciting activity.

Afterwards we all meet up at the BBQ house, where our photographer shows pictures from the trip while we serve coffee / tea, juice and cake.

This is our flagship excursion on the section of river that put Norway on the international rafting map. The Sjoa is known for being one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Europe and this is the trip that made it famous.

This excursion takes you on clean, crystal-clear blue water, through stunning deep gorges and big waves, for one of the most enjoyable and memorable rafting trips available anywhere in the world. The classic daytrip is suitable for everyone, from adrenaline junkies who want to experience the most challenging lines, to those who just want to relax and enjoy the scenery – and everything in between. Different water levels change the experience of the trip. Higher water brings big waves and lower levels require more technical rafting. Our experienced guides are adept at ensuring your safety and a lot of fun and excitement as they expertly navigate the rapids.

At the halfway mark, we stop on the riverbank to enjoy a lunch of warm food, salad and bread. There we also light a campfire and make coffee before taking on the last part of Sjoa. When the water level is appropriately low, we finish the excursion with the famous “Washing Machine” rapid. Back at basecamp, guests enjoy a hot shower and change of clothes before tea, coffee and juice is served in the BBQ house. Then we gather around a big screen while our photographer shares the action photos taken on the excursion so you can reflect on the adventure from a different perspective.

This is the shorter version of the day trip on the middle part of Sjoa, that is just as wet, wild and beautiful as our flagship daytrip. On this excursion, you get to experience the most popular rapids, with the line dependent on the levels on the day – surfing on higher water and more technical rafting in lower water. When the water is at the appropriate level, we end the excursion at the “Washing Machine” rapid. Our guides are selected for their skill and experience and will lead you through rapids in a safe yet exciting way. Once back at basecamp, you can enjoy a warm shower, followed by coffee, tea and juice at the BBQ house. Then, our photographer will share the great action footage shot on your excursion, and you will have the opportunity to buy any of the photos you would like to keep. On request, you can also book dinner after the trip.

This is an even bigger challenge and nature experience than the tour through Heidal. The tour goes through the upper part of Sjoa, where we perform a swimming test among the participants early on in the tour. After that we move on down the river. The tour leads through incredibly beautiful canyons, where the mountainsides rise from the banks of the river. Halfway through we take a lunch break and enjoy a warm meal and coffee. This tour is for adventurous people, who are great swimmers and generally fit. Back at basecamp, guests enjoy a hot shower and change of clothes before warm lunch, tea and coffee is served in the BBQ house.

Heidal Rafting offers guide courses in rafting. You will get 4 full days of intense activity, in which you will learn to master the river. Our rafting course is of high quality and is suitable both for people who are considering becoming a professional rafting guide and those who simply want to have a week of wet experiences. After each guide course, we typically offer to a few of the participants to become training guides for us. We are always on the lookout for new guide talents, so this is your chance.

The course consists of the following: Mix of practical exercises and theory, with a heavy focus on practice. We talk about how water behaves, what rafting moments and obstacles there may be in the river, and how we manoeuvre the boat to fare safely in between those. We talk about how several boats secure each other, communication on the river and practical matters concerning the handling/rigging of the equipment.

After our rafting course, you will have a great basis for a start as a training guide for us or another company. Contact us for details.

Equipment: Explore Sjoa provides the wetsuit, wet jacket, water shoes, helmet and life jacket. Bring super-underwear/woollen underwear and wool socks for cold days. Of course, you are welcome to use your own equipment.
Accommodation/meals: Accommodation in a room with bathroom in our Sjoa Guesthouse, breakfast, warm lunch and dinner every day of the course.
Price: NOK 7990 per person

Upon inquiry, the guide course is also arranged at different times, for example for other rafting organizers, companies, groups of friends and organisations. Contact us for the program, point in time and price.
