Rafting Tour In Iran

5 Days/ 4 Nights

Rafting or boating in the roaring waves is one of the fascinating branches of tourism that is gaining more and more fans every day. Rafting boats have been the simplest form of water transport and have been used to move people and cargo for thousands of years. In rafting, passengers board special inflatable boats and travel along the river, watching the scenery and villages and forests and mountains and enjoying the roar of the waves. Today, this exciting activity has become one of the pastimes of young people and families around the world.
The best time for rafting in Iranian rivers is from May to November. In the following, we will introduce a number of suitable rivers for rafting.

Zayandehrood River

This river is one of the most important central rivers of Iran. Since Zayandehrood is more watery in spring, it is better to travel to it this season to experience more excitement. Zayandehrood has three convenient rafting routes, the shortest of which is 3 km and takes 30 minutes. The waves of  Zayandehrood River are at levels 2 and 3, which means that it is suitable for adventurous tourists who are physically and mentally healthy and are between 12 and 50 years old. Of course, the Zaman Khan Bridge section is dangerous and is not recommended for boating.

Haraz River

This river is located in Mazandaran province and in the north of Iran. The route of Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali Park to Amol is 4 km and rafting takes about 2 hours. The degree of waves of Haraz river before Goznak is 2 and 3 and it is suitable for most healthy and adventurous people. However, parts of the river with waves of more than 4 are suitable for rafting heroes and adventurous boaters and are not recommended for beginners.
