Whitewater rafting in Altai

Very popular for rafting in Altai are Katun, Chuya, Chulyshman and Bashkaus rivers. Level of rapids changes depending on water level. At the end of May - beginning of June, snow actively melts and white water classes of rapids are increase. Usually, we start our rafting season at the beginning of May.

For those, who are already have experience in tourism on the water, the Middle Katun is the great option for rafting (usually it's a 3-5 days tour). Here you'll have an experience with many rapids what have 3rd class and 1 rapids that has 4th class.
During this rafting there possible an overturning of the raft in the rapids, so we recommend you to choose carefully rafting team for this route.

Hard level

If you are a professional rafter and looking for a challenge, you'll like one of these rivers, where 4th,5th and even 6th whitewater class rapids:

  • the upper Katun
  • the Chuya
  • the Chulyshman
  • the Bashkaus

You should go there only with the second raft. For these routes, please, travel only with a real professional team.

We have very professional guides in our team, who have the title of master of sport in rafting.

We have all equipments and different type of rafts. In some cases, we use "bagel"-raft instead of the classic raft (they can not be turned over), which makes rafting much safer.

Below you'll found the Middle Katun tour, at this moment has been translated only this tour. We have other routes for rafting. If you are interested in different routes, please send a request.
