Shuisky rifts. Rafting for 5 days

There is a steady signal throughout the entire route. Megafon and MTS operators have a better signal.

The route has been announced to the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In June, July and August, the water level in the river gradually decreases, thereby changing the level of difficulty of the rapids. Depending on the water level, the danger of thresholds varies. The instructor has the right to make a decision on the removal of dangerous areas and not to let unprepared or drunk participants into the threshold. On the water, participants always wear life jackets, and when passing dangerous thresholds, they wear helmets.

The group is led by an instructor. Tourists are obliged to follow the instructions of the instructor.

In case of any discomfort, discomfort or other possible problem, contact the instructor immediately.

On our tours, physical training is needed for a long stay in nature and on rafting. The tours are designed for ordinary urban people who are ready for hiking conditions.

Children from 5 years old and accompanied by their parents are allowed to participate in the tour.

Swimming skills are not required for participants of water trips, but they are desirable. Each participant will wear a life jacket, and the instructor will tell you in detail before going on the route how to behave when getting into the water. If you do not know how to swim, but you really want to go on a water hike, we recommend choosing rafting on the Shuya River, because this is one of the most peaceful routes, ideal for beginners.

Meals are served three times a day. Sometimes, based on the conditions of the route, lunch can be replaced with a snack. The instructor cooks the food, the help of tourists is not prohibited. The menu includes fresh vegetables and soups.

If you are a vegetarian, please indicate this in the application when booking. When cooking on the route, the instructor will first give you food, and then add stew to it and cook for all the other members of the group.
