Canyoning Experience on the Aventine in Palena
Go on, do it!
A brilliant experience. Punctual, well-organised, and very patient and kind. There were two guides with us – one at the front and one at the back of the group – to manage the experience. We started at 11 am and finished at 2 pm. Getting into the wetsuit was great fun for me, as I’m rather clumsy. An adrenaline-fuelled yet wonderful adventure, as everyone plays an active part in shaping the experience (I’d tried rafting years ago, but this is better). The only downside might be that for the over-50s, it could be a bit ‘dangerous’ for the knees and ankles, as the riverbed is, understandably, uneven and you might twist a joint or two. But you just need to take it slowly and feel your way along. I can’t swim, but I still managed to do everything and surprised myself. Absolutely brilliant!

It’s great to ‘take the plunge’
A wonderful family experience🥰 on a hot summer’s day. Absolutely doable for anyone who isn’t afraid of the water.nThe guides were brilliant at getting us involved in the activity and helping us overcome our fear of ‘taking the plunge’.nA lovely spot just a stone’s throw from home, as we’re from Pescara. Palena is also a really charming and peaceful village, far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. nAn experience I highly recommend.

Canyoning Experience on the Aventine in Palena
Regenerating
Granted, the activity was not canyoning but canyoning, but we had a great time anyway in the company of the young guides Ettore and Antonio. Between dips, I must say that the water was nice and cool, but it was definitely good for our muscles. I don't give 5 stars because we waited a while before starting the activity, and I think that 'measures' should be taken for those who don't respect the set time to the detriment of those who were punctual. Fortunately, we made up for it on the way. Thanks again to the guys who kept us entertained but always in safety 😊

Cute
A nice experience, although in our opinion a little expensive for what it offers. 50 euros is a bit too much to do a bit of diving down the stream. Yes, you pay for the equipment, but 30 euro would have been a fair price. At this price, I would not recommend it!

The boys of the...
The staff members are competent and qualified. The experience was positive even if short. It is of a level suitable for everyone and well organised. I recommend it as a first time to test yourself. In my opinion it is important to wear suitable shoes and be minimally trained: you walk on rocks and in water!
