If you are an individual, coming with family/friends and reaching us by car, you must purchase a transport option for the start of the trip (PLN 15/person). Why?

Because when you get to the start of the rafting trip on your own, you will end the rafting trip in Szczawnica and you will not be able to get to your car in which you arrived! If you purchase the transport option: you leave your car on our plot in Szczawnica, and we transport you and the other people to the start of the rafting trip using organized transport, then after finishing the rafting trip, you end up exactly where your car is parked.

If you are organizing a company/school trip and your rented bus brings you to the Pieniny Mountains, you do not need our help with transport. Then your driver will take you to Sromowce Niżne at ul. Pienińska where we will be waiting for you. Then the driver can return to Szczawnica and wait for your return.
