Rafting is an exciting sporting activity, which consists of ploughing through the waters of a river with the help of special rafts.
Very often it is the only way to visit stretches of the river that would otherwise be inaccessible.
This is the case of our river, the Lao, which springs from the mountains of the Pollino National Park and flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Scalea.
After an initial quiet stretch, lined with dense vegetation, the river enters a long, deep canyon that can only be travelled by canoe or dinghy.
Our very experienced and highly qualified guides will accompany you on this spectacular descent down the rapids of the Lao river, discovering unspoilt wilderness through one of Europe's most fascinating canyons (UNESCO Geological Site), a unique experience within everyone's reach!
The routes have various levels of difficulty, varying first of all according to age (some only for over 14s), but also according to the speed of the water and the duration of the excursion.
The Centre provides the necessary equipment:
To be brought (not supplied):
Here the security is always held in the highest regard.
Experienced and qualified guides will give you precise instructions before and during activities.
Safety equipment (life jackets, helmets, etc.) will always be provided before departure. They are also conducted short courses (15-minute briefings each) during which they are given notions and instructions also useful for safety purposes.
The centre will adjust according to the extent of the bad weather itself.
In most cases, light rain is not a problem.
If bad weather makes rafting impracticable, you can still postpone your activity. What is certain is that in rafting, rain or no rain, you still get wet.
In any case, remember that you will be provided with suitable clothing!
On our dinghies, the maximum number of people is six.
Depending on the river's hydrographical levels, the river manager can decide whether to increase or decrease the number of people on a raft to between 4 and 6.
One of the main features of the Lao River is precisely the constancy of its water flow rateeven in the hottest and driest months, guaranteeing that our dinghies are always passable.
