Best Germany Rafting Tours - Our Top 6

1.Bavaria: Action Whitewater Rafting Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 56 reviews · 4 hours · from $87Our pick

Meet your multilingual guide at Outdoor Center Baumgarten, suit up, and ride a raft down the River Saalach near Lofer. The four-hour outing includes a safety briefing, bus transfers, whitewater practice, and a four-meter jump into a natural pool. River conditions shape how wild the ride feels.

“It was a really enjoyable experience. The team kept participants engaged from start to finish, which I found very fair and well done. The rafting itself naturally depends on the river conditions, but even on a relatively calm day like ours, the guide managed to create fun and exciting moments, which we greatly appreciated. The only aspect that I think could be improved is the cleaning of the neoprene suits. From what I observed, dipping 30–40 suits briefly into two buckets of water didn’t seem very hygienic. I hope this part of the process will be enhanced in the future.”

5.Freiburg and Basel: Rafting Tour on the River Rhine

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 16 reviews · from $40Best value

Paddle and float from Istein to Bad Bellingen on the Upper Rhine with a German- and English-speaking instructor. Expect gentle rapids, swimming from the raft, pebbly riverbanks, vineyards, and views toward the Black Forest and Vosges. Equipment and return transport are included.

“Had a nice morning on/in the water A few rapids but it was all quite calm and you could actually let yourself be carried along by the current without having to do much Compared to other rafting trips we have done we found it a bit boring, but the advantage of that calm trip was that you could regularly get into the water to swim.. on such a hot day it was very nice! Transport itself is well arranged but takes time. When you arrive at the meeting point you first have to follow the bus with your own transport with 1 person from your group to park your car…”
