CHOOSE YOUR RAFTING EXPERIENCE
Short, medium or long — check what is operating.
Route distances are approximate and can vary by operator and current river conditions. We will check the available option for your travel date rather than promising a route that may not be running.
Medium Rafting
More time on the river and a longer rafting experience when this route is available for the day.
Long Rafting
The fuller rafting option when operating, with more river time. Availability depends heavily on river and permission conditions.
IMPORTANT
Rafting is not guaranteed every day.
Availability depends on water level, dam release, weather and operating conditions, plus required permissions. We confirm what is actually operating for your date.

Rafting gets the attention, but these activities make it easy to mix adventure with lighter river experiences.
CALMER WATER
Kayaking
Paddle on calmer stretches where operating. It is a good way to spend more time on the river without the intensity of white-water rafting.
RELAXED RIVER TIME
Boating
A gentler river experience that works well for mixed groups. Boating is included in many of our stay packages alongside kayaking and zorbing.
FUN ACTIVITY
Water Zorbing
A quick, playful water activity that is commonly bundled into Dandeli247 stay packages with boating and kayaking.
QUICK THRILL
River Zipline
Add a short zipline adventure around your river-activity plan. Location and operating availability can vary, so confirm it for your dates.
BUILD YOUR OWN DANDELI TRIP
Choose your stay first. Add only the activities you want.
Browse live room options, then add kayaking, boating, water zorbing, zipline or rafting during online booking. Activity charges apply only to participating guests.
Rafting: choose short, medium or long options when available for your date. Operating routes remain subject to river and safety conditions.
PLAN IT WELL
A natural river changes with conditions.
For organised activities, use the safety equipment provided, follow the operator's instructions and do not enter unfamiliar water without local guidance.
For families, tell us the actual ages of children when booking. Activity eligibility can vary by operator, route and current conditions.
For rafting, never assume a route is available simply because it was operating on another date.

Which rafting distances are available?
Dandeli247 offers short, medium and long rafting choices when they are operating. The route available can vary by date and river conditions.
Is rafting guaranteed?
No. Rafting depends on water level, dam release, weather, safety decisions, operating conditions and required permissions.
