Tour organizer's comments

There are several obstacles on the river, from simple rifts to rapids of the 2nd category of difficulty. Rafting on them is quite dynamic and can give tourists a lot of pleasure (the decision to pass an obstacle is made by the instructor and depends on the condition of the obstacle and the preparedness of the group).
