One raft freely holds up to 15 people. Travellers may sit on the convenient benches or at a table, take sunbaths or stroll along a deck. Rafts are very stable and safe. Travelling by a raft you don’t need to tie up at the river bank in order to eat, for example. On a raft you can grill, cook and eat at a table. Journey with a raft is comparatively slow as it has the speed of the stream, thought making your travel convenient and stressless.
Rafts are popular for the one-day journeys among families with children wishing to feel secure and cosy on the river, and among bunches of friends having decided to celebrate some event in an off-beat atmosphere as well as tourists having planned to spend a day on the river leisurely and slowly enjoying landscapes of the Gauja.
One of the main advantages of the rafts is a folding roof. Travellers can be sure that, in case of sudden rain, they will be able to continue the journey not searching for a shelter on the bank. In view of changeable weather of our summers this is an essential plus when you are planning a journey along the Gauja.
