What to expect?
Rafting is a popular activity where you steer a specially designed rubber boat, also called a “raft,” down a river. That’s why it is often referred to as white-water rafting. Usually, rafting is done in groups of up to eight people, accompanied by a professional instructor. Participants wear safety gear and work together using paddles to navigate the boat down the river.
With TrollAktiv, you’ll go rafting on the Otra River, which is a unique and diverse river. It features many exciting, challenging, and fun rapids.

About white water rafting
Join us for an unforgettable adventure on the Otra River! Our specially designed, self-draining inflatable boats are built for navigating powerful rapids and thrilling whitewater. Each boat holds up to eight guests plus an instructor, ensuring a safe, exciting, and team-driven journey down the river.
The highlight is Syrtveitsfossen
The highlight of our rafting trips is the exhilarating Syrtveitsfossen! This stunning section of the river features an impressive 8.5-meter gradient drop, creating the perfect mix of adrenaline and breathtaking scenery. Once used for timber floating, the river was shaped by large jetties built to guide logs through the wild rapids—making it an ideal stretch for rafting today. Whether you’re seeking heart-pounding excitement or a glimpse into the river’s rich history, Syrtveitsfossen delivers an unforgettable experience!
