Dunajec River Rafting from Krakow with AB Poland Travel

Setting out from Krakow, adventurers trade the city’s historic streets for the rushing waters of the Dunajec River in the Pieniny mountains. This rafting journey isn’t just about the thrill of navigating traditional wooden rafts; it’s a window into one of Poland’s most striking natural landscapes. As you glide along the river, guides share tales about the region’s past—legend speaks of the limestone cliffs and the ancient Pieniny range shaping the landscape, with the UNESCO-listed Pieniny National Park providing a stunning backdrop.
