Stunning nature, amazing guides and unbeatable hospitality - Our day trip with trip leader Joel and our raft guide Nicholas was simply outstanding. Well organized trip and well balanced experience between action and beautiful sight-seeing, there were something for everyone. The nature that Sjoa and the rafting-trip offers feel hard to beat. Other than the rafting we also stayed for three nights in one of the rooms that Go Rafting Sjoa offers. Our room was called ”Africa” and the furnishing lived up to its name! We were also very pleased with the breakfast that offered several bread, eggs, cereals, greens and sandwich toppings! (They also take well care of you if you have any special diets or requests. For ex, gluten) Thank you so much to all the guides, staff and the owners for this experience. Highly recommended!

The best rafting we have ever had - The best rafting we have ever had. We went rafting the 1st of July with our guide, Ivan. Ivan was a super fun and professional guide and it was clear he a lot of experience. We were in total 6 members + the guide, in the boat. Due to little power in the paddeling from the family we were teamed up with, we had 2 flips with the boat. For us, this was just fun. And it was impressive to see how quickly Ivan managed to turn the boat around, and to help the rest of us back into the boat. I would 100% recommended this!!

Great! - Me and my mom had a great time with fun teachers. We didn't tip over, but it was quite challenging! A decent workout to say the least. The fun hosts made it especially entertaining all the way, which also helped on the learning-bit. The river had a lot of rapids which was exciting. After our trip down river we were given a good meal. We will most likely return to Go Raftingz

Exciting rafting trip - This was a super rafting experience. It was well organized, the (safety) briefing was professional but also with a lot of humor. The lunch was very good. With our skipper Leonard we had 15 exciting kilometres, with super fast rapids and some really big waves to conquer. I had some rafting experience, but this one was by far with the most adrenaline.

GREAT fun! - Me and a friend did the day trip Summer 2015. None of us had done white water rafting before, and we were a bit unsure of how safe it would be/feel, but Gaus and the rest of the crew made sure we were absolutely relaxed and calm all the time, whilst having LOADS of adrenaline-pumped fun going down the Sjoa river - this is something I'm for sure going to do again!
