GLACIER RAFTING THROUGH THE ELVEPURKA IN JOSTEDAL
The Elvepurka trip continues on from the Little Piggies, where we have taught control of the raft. So when the white water hits, you are able to get us through it…at least, that is the plan!
We first see the white-water once we have passed the ELVEPURKA rock that sticks out into the river – she is hungry for children, or any others passing by. The river narrows into a canyon, creating a wave-train, wave after wave trying to knock us out. After the canyon there are surf waves we can try to catch before the final canyon and biggest waves of the tour
Success on this trip only means you will be eager to get into the BOSS HOG section further down the river, trust us
There is a 4 person minimum for this trip. If you are 2 persons, we can include you on trips with others, of course.
