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.
Canyoning on the Rio Selvano
Among the canyoning trails in Lucca, the Rio Selvano deserves an honorary mention because, in addition to being extremely impressive, it is considered by many the most complete canyoning trail in Tuscany. 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.

A great way to spend an afternoon!
We had a brilliant time body rafting. Our guide, Jiva, was experienced, friendly and brilliant! She didn’t pressure anyone into doing a climb or jump they didn’t want to do, always suggesting an easier option. But if you’re up for it, she’s got some tricky climbs in store for you 😉! Thank you, Jiva !

Spirit of adventure ON.
A lovely experience – fun and refreshing in such hot weather. I’d recommend wearing contact lenses rather than glasses, as they can fog up. A high level of concentration and cooperation is required.
