Everything you need to know about canyoning
Canyoning, or canyoneering, is an exploratory practice of river environments. It consists of walking on foot along the winding course of streams flowing between canyons and rocky gorges. A canyoning trail has characteristic elements, including toboggans, natural slides created by the erosion of water on rock. Also typical of canyoning are diving into pools of water and rappelling down waterfalls and rock walls. Each canyoning experience includes the support of an experienced and certified guide who will be able to help participants at all times, ensuring total safety.
Where to go canyoning in Tuscany
Among the most suitable locations for canyoning in Tuscany is Bagni di Lucca, in Garfagnana. Here, you’ll be able to explore the beautiful blue lagoon of the Lima Creek; that is, a natural pool with an intense color due to the reflection of light in the crystal clear water. Canyoning trails in Bagni di Lucca offer spectacular scenery, are also suitable for children and are among the best canyoning options in Italy.
Between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, there are other picturesque trails such as the Serra River and the Bagnone stream in Lunigiana. In the province of Prato, you can go canyoning on the Rio Buti or at the Fonte Buia cave.

It requires 3 hours of activity and presents all the typical elements of canyoning. This is also located in Bagni di Lucca.
How much does it cost to go canyoning in Tuscany?
To go canyoning in Tuscany you spend 35 to 75 euros. The price varies depending on the location, duration and difficulty of the trail and always includes the necessary equipment.

10 Aug 2025 | Canyoning Adventure in Bagni di Lucca
Pure adrenalin
Fantastic experience! Adrenaline-filled to say the least :) Together with my boyfriend we spent a morning of adventure. Feasible route and with the help of the guides Ettore and Pietro it was made accessible to everyone. Our group consisted of a family and a group of friends, and there were also children who had super fun. Helpful, kind and friendly guides. We recommend it to everyone! (To do at least once in a lifetime...) P.s. Don't be scared of the dives, they are among the most beautiful part of the route!

Unforgettable experience!
It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I was on my own but lucky to join a friendly Belgian family. Carlos was the best guide, explaining everything clearly, ensuring our safety and encouraging us to take the jumps and slides. At all times we had the choice not to do the jumps, or chose the height of the jump. I booked the family experience, which for my age (62) and a first time was the best choice. It was a bit challenging at times, but due to Carlos' guidance, I was reassured to take all the hurdles. Don't forget to look around and enjoy the magnificent scenery in the gorge. My husband who wasn't participating could follow our journey from the top of 2 bridges.. That was nice too. Thanks Carlo! Until next time!

Spectacular experience
We did the activity this morning with 2 children aged 10 and 12. The experience was excellent, carried out in complete safety, thanks above all to the Icham guide who made us have a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this activity.
