What we will do

The appointment is in Bagni di Lucca, at the meeting point indicated in the booking confirmation. Once all participants have gathered, we will reach the starting point of the packrafting route with a 15-minute van transfer.

Before starting the actual excursion, I, your guide, will hold a briefing to explain the safety rules and techniques for leading the packraft, naturally after handing over thenecessary equipment (wetsuit, life jacket, helmet and paddle).

On board a single-seater inflatable mini dinghy, light but surprisingly robust, designed to tackle any type of aquatic environment, we will paddle with double paddles and move through the brisk current of the Serchio river.

During the route, which is 6 km long in total, we will face small rapids and take a break to enjoy a refreshing swim. Our packraft descent will end under the legendary Devil's Bridge, in a spectacular and scenic setting.

At the end of the activity, after about 2 hours of descent, we will return by van to the meeting point, where we will have toilets and changing rooms available.

Between transfer, briefing and descent, the duration of the experience is about 3 hours.

Who it is aimed at

The activity presents no particular difficulty and is aimed at everyone. The minimum age for participation is 14.

Minors must present a release form signed by a parent.

It is necessary not to exceed a weight of 100 kg, to be in good health and have good aquatic skills. The ability to swim is not required.
