This is such a unique experience, and I am so glad we fit it into our travel plans. We took a bus from Szczawnica to Sromowce Wyzne-Katy and boarded a traditional Polish wooden raft dating back to the early 19th century for our 2-hour trip. The Dunajec River is between Poland and Slovakia. The gorge was beautiful. We had two rowers wearing traditional costumes and 11 passengers on our raft. We were provided a pamphlet in English to follow along. The rafter narrated the entire trip in Polish.
We bought tickets once we arrived, but you can book ahead online. Cost 111 PLN ($31 US) for adults and 78 PLN ($22 US) for seniors and children up to age 10.
