“Janek was the best guide! He is passionate about sharing his homeland and made sure we had a great experience. Although we couldn’t understand the rafter’s polish, we enjoyed watching the others giggle at his remarks. Overall, Janek was our best tour guide while in Krakow. The mountains were breathtaking and the day was a highlight of our visit.”

4.Dunajec River Rafting with Thermal Baths option

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 11 hours · from $181

Travel from Krakow to Pieniny National Park, raft the Dunajec Gorge for about two and a half hours, then choose thermal pools in Białka Tatrzańska. An English-speaking driver handles the journey, while the river guide may speak Polish only.

“Rafting was really good , weather not , guide on boat only speaks Polish ( We knew before booking )thought it would be OK just for scenery luckily there was a really lovely Polish family who kept translating all he was saying which made the trip ,he was really engaging with group which we would have missed out on .The thermal spa was absolutely rammed full of people ..not enjoyable ( due to bad weather prob everybody headed here ) have been to different one in area which wasn't like this .Back to rafting perhaps the tour company could do a pamphlet pointing out the main aspects of river trip…”
