Norway is one Europe’s top destinations for white water rafting – and rightly so. Some of the country’s dramatic rivers and gorges have glacial meltwater gushing down them at top speeds, make Norway an exhilarating place for adrenaline junkies to go rafting.

The rafting season in Norway is from around mid-May until the end of September.
