4 Reasons to try rafting this summer
As summer approaches, many of us start searching for the perfect mix of excitement, nature, and quality time. Whether you’re planning a trip with family, friends, or your partner – there’s one activity that guarantees unforgettable memories and a true sense of accomplishment: rafting.
And not just any rafting – but rafting with Dagali Rafting on the legendary Numedalslågen River, Northern Europe’s most technical commercial rafting river.
Here are 4 great reasons to jump into the current this summer:
1. Adrenaline – That extra rush you’ve been craving
Love that heart-pounding feeling? Rafting is made for you.
At Dagali Rafting, you can choose between Extreme, Premium, or Family rafting – so whether you’re a thrill-seeker or first-timer, there’s a trip for you.
The Numedalslågen, often called the “Little Zambezi” due to its powerful and technical rapids, will test your senses and wake you up like nothing else. The river changes with the water level, meaning no two trips are ever the same – perfect for anyone seeking a real, unpredictable adventure.
2. Nature – Front-row views of norwegian wilderness
It’s one thing to admire nature from a car or a map. It’s something entirely different to charge through stunning wilderness with mountain views around you and whitewater splashing in your face.
Numedalslågen winds through a dramatic valley in Hallingdal – just 25 minutes from Geilo. You’ll paddle through pine forests, crystal-clear water, and birdsong, far away from the noise of daily life.
This isn’t just an activity – it’s a full-on nature experience.
3. A family-friendly adventure – Rafting for all ages
Rafting isn’t just for adrenaline junkies. At Dagali Rafting, we offer family trips for kids aged 8 and up, designed with safety, fun, and confidence in mind. With certified guides and specially tailored routes, everyone – from kids to parents to grandparents – can join the fun.
This is the perfect way to bond as a family – through teamwork, shared laughter, and a splash or two.
And yes – we take photos along the way, so you’ll have memories to bring home.
4. A unique experience – Unlike anything else
You might’ve tried amusement parks or mountain hikes. But rafting on Numedalslågen? It’s something else.
It’s real. It’s wild. And it’s led by world-class guides – handpicked for their skill, safety, and passion.
Dagali Rafting has been in the game since the beginning. We’ve been rafting since 1989, making us one of the most experienced rafting operators in Europe.
This is quality, safety, and raw adventure – no crowds, no waiting lines.
Ready to jump in?
Whether you’re coming from Oslo, Bergen, or anywhere in between, Dagali is easy to reach by car.
We’re based at Geilo Airport Dagali, and many of our guests combine rafting with a cabin trip in Geilo, a summer holiday in Uvdal, or a classic norwegian road trip.
So what are you waiting for?
