Considering that each person is different and therefore the age to participate is absolutely subjective, we have tried to develop some rafting routes suitable for everyone such as family rafting that can be safely done by everyone from 4 years old. Other routes such as Packrafting Extreme can instead be done by those who are over 16 and have adequate physical performance or as in canyoning for optimal fit due to cold water we do not go by age but by cm, for better comfort. See our catalog or contact us on WhatsApp for more detailed answers. π¬

Safety equipment will be provided for each activity you choose, which varies from route to route and is absolutely required to be worn. π·π½βοΈ
During the excursions you will be provided with safety materials and you will always be accompanied by experienced and licensed guides as required by law. The company also reserves the right not to have people who may not be able to do the hike safely participate in the activities. We also remind you that the experienced guides will help you carry out the route in the way that best suits you, customizing the tour. βοΈ
Rafting is a sport that is done in close contact with nature, so the tour may vary from day to day (water level and buoyancy, weather). Our operators will always be able to recommend the most suitable river/lake for your needs also based on your emotions, experience and physical fitness. Each river has its own peculiarities and what is a basic level for someone may be the maximum level for someone else. Contact us to get the best advice. π
In some of our activities swimming is not necessary, but in others it is important to know how to swim. Remember, however, that in all our activities you will be equipped with a life jacket. Contact us or check directly on the page of the activity you are interested in to find out what activities you can do without knowing how to swim! ππ½βοΈ
Yes it is necessary to at least know how to move in water to do Canyoning. We do not recommend this activity for those who are particularly afraid of water. π
In addition to safety equipment you will have access to the use of our materials (dinghies, packrafts, paddles), and if you plan also to wetsuit, life jacket, helmet and neoprene shoes. Also included in the price is the guide and necessary transportation to and from the meeting point with our shuttles. π
Clothing to bring may vary depending on the activity or season, when booking or on each page of our website you can find our advice on what to bring . ππ©³
Your cameras can be used during the excursions, but we always advise against the use of cell phones or cameras because of the great risk of losing them and because you need the use of both hands to juggle best in the aquatic environment. Instead, we recommend the use of action cams (e.g. GoPro). We also remind you that free amateur photos and/or videos will be taken during our excursions, which you can keep as a souvenir. π€³π½
To carry out the activity the most important thing is the swimsuit, but we will provide all the equipment. πΆ
