Spend a full day rafting the Sázava River from Prague — a guided mix of mellow rapids, scenic shore stops and local history. All equipment, lunch and transport are included for a hands-on Czech river experience.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning lifts you from Prague toward the low, green folds of the Sázava Valley where the river widens and begins to dare you downstream. Guides unload rafts and Baraka boats at a gravel bar; the first stroke sends a spray that cools a sun-warmed face and announces a day of movement — playful rapids, calmer pools, reed-lined bends that slow the boat to a drift.

Wear secure water shoes

Bring a small dry bag
Keep your phone, ID and spare clothing dry in a compact waterproof bag provided or brought along.
