Family rafting adventure in Heidal
★ 4.8 · 428 reviewsBy Heidal Rafting


Bring the family together for a fun, secure rafting journey where everyone, even non-swimmers, can join in. After a friendly safety briefing and fitting of wetsuits, life jackets, and helmets, our certified guides lead you through gentle rapids. Along the way, you’ll have chances to swim in the river, cliff jump, and play “water spray war.” Curious kids (or adults) may help steer the raft under guided supervision.
The route follows the scenic Otta River. If water levels are low, the adventure switches to the mild Gudbrandsdalslågen. Throughout the trip, expect a supportive and relaxed pace—no intense white water, just engaging, confidence-building fun.
After the rafting wraps up, return to base for a hot shower and relax in the BBQ hut. You’ll be treated to coffee, tea, juice, and cake—an easy, satisfying end to your outing.
