Full description
Get ready to parade through the beauty of Rome on the city's most exclusive catwalk, the Tiber River!
Join a 2-hour soft rafting experience and paddle through the heart of the Eternal City with your small, close-knit crew. Admire Castel Sant'Angelo, St Peter's Dome and Rome's most famous bridges from a privileged perspective.
Whether it is your first time or your hundredth time in Rome, this urban rafting trip will be a completely different adventure!
What we will do
The appointment is at the meeting point in Rome, 10 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.
Here we will meet our guide and walk to the boarding point in a few minutes to begin our descent among the beauties of the Eternal City. Before departure we will put on a helmet and life jacket and participate in a 15-minute safety briefing .
We will then grab our paddles, board the dinghy and get ready to row as a close-knit crew, coordinated by the guide. We will descend along the course of the Tiber between small rapids and calmer waters, along a 4 km route that will leave us spellbound before the wonders of Rome.
We will pass theAra Pacis Museum, the Church of the Sacred Heart of the Suffrage and Castel Sant'Angelo with its famous bridge. Other bridges we will pass under are the historic Umberto I, Ponte Duca d'Aosta and Ponte San Sisto in the Trastevere area. The 'dome' of St. Peter 's in the background will distract us from paddling more than once with its magnificence!
To break the fatigue we will land on theTiberina island and take a break of about 20 minutes, with a fruit snack . Having recharged our batteries, we will complete our descent and arrive at the end of the route, theformer port of Ripa Grande, after about 1 hour and 15 minutes. From here we can continue our exploration of Rome on foot or return to the starting point by public transport.
The total duration of the activity will be about 2 hours, including briefing, stops and rafting descent.
