Rafting: what it is and what you need to know about this river discipline

Rafting is a group sport that is practiced aboard unsinkable inflatable boats, rafts. It consists in descending the course of a river or mountain stream by overcoming rapids and other natural obstacles. Each raft is captained by an experienced rafting guide who gives commands to the crew.

In its recreational form, rafting can be enjoyed by everyone. You don’t need previous experience, you just need to have a good relationship with the water and choose the course that suits your level. A preparation briefing on paddling techniques and safety rules is held before departure.

The best months for rafting are spring and summer. You need to wear a bathing suit, thermal shirt and sneakers you’re okay with getting wet. The rest of the equipment (wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and water jacket) is provided by the center.

Bagni di Lucca rafting: the best activities on the Lima and Serchio rivers

In Bagni di Lucca, rafting is enjoyed by both experienced enthusiasts and beginners, including children and families. Due to the presence of rapids and current, a rafting trip on the Lima River is also suitable for thrill-seekers. On the Lima, you can choose from either a 4 or 8 km long course, depending on the level best suited for you.

For families with children and, in general, for those seeking a more peaceful and relaxing experience, a trip on the Serchio River is more suitable. This river’s characteristics offer the possibility to do soft-rafting, a mostly scenic variation of rafting with few rapids.
