Noce River Rapids
The route drops you into the heart of the Noce’s lively whitewater—short, intense sections that reward precise body positioning and prior open-water experience.
A Compact, High-Intensity Descent
At roughly two and a half hours, the run is deliberately brief but physically demanding—engineered to concentrate the excitement into a 7 km course for experienced participants.
Made for Experienced Swimmers
This is a strong-level hydrospeed experience recommended for those who have already completed level 1 or who have fin-swimming experience—expect continuous technical whitewater rather than a learn-to-run session.
