The first shove off feels like an invitation. The Raundal river tugs at the bow, playful and insistent, leading a bobbing raft away from the gravel shore beneath Voss’s steep, spruce-covered hills. Children squeal as cold spray kisses cheeks; adults tense then laugh as the raft finds its rhythm. For roughly 1.5 hours on the water, Grade II rapids keep the pace lively without crossing into intimidation — a stretch that tests teamwork, not courage.
