Katuni rafting

Alloy 3 hours in Altai "Exclusive" - one of the most interesting and spectacular on the lower Katun. It is very difficult, especially in large water. Almost the entire section of the river along which the alloy "Exclusive" passes is a series of different thresholds, the passage of which will give a lot of emotions and impressions. Don't miss the big water!

• Our alloys do not require special qualifications and training. Designed for tourists who first sit in the raft and pick up the paddle.
• But alloy, there's alloy! Adrenaline is always present. When passing the sills and the Shiver, most likely, Katun will shower you from head to toe with cold water and toss you on the wave. At the end of the route, when you are already on the shore, the T-shirt under the life jacket will be dry, but the pants with sneakers are wet through.

Start from the site located opposite the Tavdin caves. Here, the ship is rocked, handed out and adjusted inventory and equipment, introductory briefing on safety and rules of behavior on the water is conducted. Then the ship departs from the shore and passes under the bridge leading to Turquoise Katun.

Just a little time and this is the first threshold! And then, depending on the water level, the alloy can go according to two options: the left duct on the waterfall drain is a very serious and complex threshold, with a difference in height of about 2.5 meters, or if the water is not high, then the right duct goes to Manzherok's neck and the threshold of the Captain's barrel, then get to the threshold of the birch, after which you can slightly take a breath. But there is no time to relax especially, the roar of Manzherok rapids is already heard ahead. The famous Manzherok rapids are quite a serious test at any time.

There are two main options for passing the Manzherok thresholds. The first through the duct "Dollar", where the greatest danger is a stone press, against which a powerful stream of water beats, forming a boiling shaft, on which any vessel passing through the duct rushes rapidly and avoids a blow, which is almost impossible and it is possible to move away from it only at the very last moment, provided that the team works together.

The second option is the passage of rapids into the forehead, along the central stream, where huge and very dangerous shafts stand in the “root” water, and even a small mistake can lead to a ship’s upheaval. It is here that a permanent post of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is installed on the shore, with motor boats and rescue vehicles.

And further along the route, the ship goes to a fairly long mirror of water - there is an opportunity to take a breath and exchange impressions. Then again comes a series of rapids, deceptively not large, but very insidious.

After successfully passing obstacles, the ship moored to the shore. The end point of this alloy is the site located near the Shishkov monument.

We take tourists from hotels and tourist centers located in the area of Lake Aya, in the Special Economic Zone "Turquoise Katun", Manzherok, etc. Then we take the bus to the starting point. We put on life jackets and helmets, we get oars. A water tourism instructor explains how to behave, how to row and conducts safety briefings. Then we start!
