What To Expect
With everything we can offer on the Little Piggies rafting tour, your children have decided that isn’t enough! They insist on joining a tour with LOKE, the Norse God of MISCHIEF!
This trip begins as any other family-based tour… a 240m zip line straight down in a ravine, over a raging glacier river, beside the canyon walls. Once you survive that, why not connect into the 2nd zip line and race between the forest treetops for another 100m?
Once you have taken the zip line equipment off, we put on a life jacket for the rafting tour. Starting in the most fantastic, quiet, area of Jostedal! The contrast from the raging ravine above is marked. We raft through to the end of the ravine and the scenery opens out to show the Bergsetbreen glacier in the distance, descending from the Jostedalsbreen Plateau.
We follow the river into the usual Little Piggies section. Finishing with excited, happy children, crying for more – what could be better?
There is a four-person minimum for this tour. If you are less than 4 people, we can include you on tours with others, of course.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No previous rafting experience is required, and you do not need to be able to swim.
You will wear a flotation device (life jacket), and your guide will provide clear instructions before and during the trip. As long as you follow those instructions, you can expect a safe and enjoyable experience. -
We provide all technical equipment: wetsuit, wetsuit jacket, neoprene booties, life jacket and helmet.
On colder days, it is a good idea to bring wool layers (wool top, trousers and socks) to wear under the wetsuit. Please avoid cotton clothing, as it does not keep you warm when wet. Swimwear or underwear under the wetsuit is perfect.
If you wear glasses, that is no problem. We sell RiverPig glasses straps before the tour if you would like extra security. Please note that wearing glasses is at your own risk. -
Rafting is actually one of the best activities in bad weather. You will be wearing a wetsuit, so getting wet is part of the experience. Rain rarely affects the quality of the trip — sometimes it even adds to the atmosphere.
If conditions are unsafe due to extreme river levels, we will reschedule, offer alternatives, or provide a full refund if you prefer. -
The rafting section from the ziplines begins above the Little Piggies family section. This is ideal for families with children under 12 years, beginners and anyone wanting a fun introduction to rafting.
The ODIN tour continues downstream with bigger waves and more excitement. As the river builds gradually, it is possible for guests to step out before the more challenging sections if needed. The guide always has the final decision based on river conditions and group suitability.
For families with children both under and over the age limit for ODIN, there are flexible options available. Please contact us and we will help you choose the best solution for your group.
