    Packrafting Dunajec Intro is a safe training that introduces you to the extraordinary world of crossing mountain rivers of WWI-WWII difficulty level. Classes on the water are conducted from scratch by the best instructors in Poland, multiple participants of European and World Championships, active competitors in extreme kayaking competitions, and Polish representatives in whitewater kayaking. Under our watchful eye, we will safely introduce you to the world of packrafting. The possibilities offered by sailing on a Packraft mean that what was available only to experienced people who devoted a lot of time to training on whitewater kayaks a few years ago is now available to everyone, regardless of age and physical condition. Under the supervision of our instructors, you will experience a great adventure and learn new elements. The extremely light design of the packraft kayak (approximately 6 kg) does not require much strength and is pleasant to swim, so you will achieve immediate progress.

    For whom

    Packrafting Dunajec Intro is for people without previous experience in kayaking, or for those who are looking for safe ways to overcome mountain rivers. For all travel and trekking enthusiasts who would like to acquire basic knowledge and skills in packrafting, as well as for whom whitewater kayaking is too extreme and do not have that much time for learning, but would like to experience a great adventure.
