Commercial rafting requires nearly no special skills, it is not physically difficult (easier than a hiking tour to Hoverla). Not necessary to be good at swimming. Thanks to the wet suit you are not cold even in the coldest time of the year. The theoretical possibility of getting injured is less than when riding a bike. Children aged 10 years and above can raft, if accompanied by adults.
Rafting on the Cheremosh river in Verkhovyna is both a highly extreme and safe recreation in Carpathains. During the journey, you will face the rapids of the Black Cheremosh, improve your paddling skills and learn how to maneuver through water obstacles. Imagine, how you rapidly flow with a stream and huge waves reach your head and above, and the raft wobbles on the rough ridges. It is like a drug, try it once and you will surely return for more.
