Payment in advance, at the time of rental.
Deposit will only be refunded if cancellation is made at least one week prior to the scheduled rental date.
No refund will be made for unused time in the event of early return of equipment, except in the following cases
The reason for the early termination is due to unexpected, extremely adverse weather conditions (rain all day, temperatures well below normal for the time of year – below 10 degrees Celsius in summer);
the equipment handed over early is rented by someone else at the time paid for.
Transport is also paid for in advance, based on an estimate of the distance.
At the end of the rafting trip, an adjustment will be made to the actual cost (refund or surcharge).
The client agrees to return the equipment undamaged and clean. The extra charge for cleaning and washing is 50 PLN/kayak.
Damage to the equipment is charged at 125% of the purchase price of new equipment in the shop.
The customer is responsible for the equipment until it is returned to the rental company!
Although it goes without saying, we would like to remind you that if the trip is not “organised” by us (fee per person) and the client only rents the equipment and possibly orders transport, we are not responsible for any external conditions, e.g. water level, overgrown riverbed, portages, fallen trees, weather, lack of accommodation, lack of strength or skills of the client. In all situations, including organised rafting, the client is responsible for their own state of sobriety, wearing a safety vest and behaving in a manner appropriate to the situation on the water.
In the case of ‘organised’ canoeing, we are also not responsible for the client’s choice of route – we do our best to provide as much information as we can and suggest the best tested sections, but what the client encounters along the way is rarely up to us. It is an important part of communing with nature that it is changeable.
Use of the rental services implies acceptance of the above conditions.
We accept payment by cash, credit card and bank transfer.
We hire equipment for an unlimited period on the day of hire.

Rafting for 1-3 people is possible, but the total price is the price for 4 people minus 20 PLN (e.g. in zone A it would be 280 PLN, in zone B – 360 PLN in D – 480 PLN).
The minimum price for rafting with transport, regardless of the number of people, is 200 PLN.
We can transport up to 14 canoes per transport. Rafting trips for more than 30 people are priced individually.
* Distance from the starting point – average distance from the starting point to the end point in a straight line. The actual distance during a canoe trip is more than four times longer (two courses in two directions, not in a straight line). For example, in Zone A – a distance of less than 25 km – the actual distance is more than 120 km.
Please book lifeguards well in advance (preferably a month in advance) as they are in high demand during the season.
** For lifeguarding in zone D (more than 100 km), estimates are given, the price is agreed on a case-by-case basis.
*** Gross prices, per lifeguard. For rafting trips with more than 15 people we recommend 2 lifeguards.
Prices (both for rentals on site and for rafting trips) in the period from 1 November to 1 May are negotiated individually, depending on the situation and the number of kayaks rented.
