First-Ever Rafting Day in Magadan Region
📅 markdown-it/ember-markdown-it
In Magadan's rugged terrain, the first-ever Rafting Day was held on May 31st. This exciting event was officially declared by the Magadan Oblast Duma, with Petr Golubovskiy, Deputy of the Magadan Oblast Duma and Deputy Chairman of the Environmental-Tourism Council, leading the charge. This annual event shall now be a staple in the region's calendar.
Over a hundred brave adventurers embarked on the 25-kilometer Tonon River journey, navigating the waters on rafts, catamarans, kayaks, and even sapos. The day began with participants donning themed costumes, ready to tackle the river humorously. With laughter echoing through the morning air, they set off on their adventure.
Organizers aimed to ensure the day was filled with fun, not just white-knuckle rides down the Tonon River. The river might seem calm, but don't be fooled — branches and even bears lurk in its hidden depths, making vigilance a must. The organizers had pre-navigated the entire route, but participants were urged to stay alert.
Magadan Oblast boasts unparalleled water tourism resources. The Tonon River is the calmest, but the Hasyn River offers a bit more thrill. Adventurers can also navigate the Arman, Ola, or Bakhach rivers, spending anywhere from two days to twenty on the water.
Rafting Day also signaled the start of the summer navigation period, when non-motorized boats are allowed. With an experienced guide, rafters can navigate any Kolyma river throughout the summer.
