Rafting on the river Váh: Nové mesto nad Váhom – Piešťany

Exploring nature from the water is an exceptional experience offered by a rafting on the old arm of river Váh in the neighbourhood of Hlohovec. It is suitable for families with children as well as for adrenaline lovers, you just need to choose a boat according to your preferences: inflatable or plastic canoe, raft or paddleboard.

The trip starts at 09.30 at the Piešťanský pivovar ŽiWELL in Piešťany (GPS: 48° 35′ 3″ N, 17° 50′ 1″ E). The rafting participants will then be transported by bus to the start of the cruise to Nové Mesto nad Váhom (GPS: 48° 45′ 17″ N, 17° 49′ 51″ E). The trip ends at the same location where it began.

The rafting is preceded by the essential administration, which includes the distribution of inflatable canoes, rafts, and paddleboards, as well as excellent coaching. The rafting lasts approximately two hours, followed by a picnic or barbeque. Then it takes, approximately, the same amount of time (about two hours) to get to the finish line.
