Rafting: what it is and how to practice it
Rafting is a river sport that is practiced aboard special self-emptying boats, the rafts. It consists of traversing the course of a river or mountain stream by overcoming rapids and dodging various natural obstacles. Each raft is captained by an experienced guide who gives commands to the crew.
In its recreational form, rafting is a suitable activity for everyone. A briefing on paddling techniques and safety rules is held before departure. Usually the routes alternate between quiet and dynamic stretches, and in some cases the guides offer playful aquatics tests, such as diving or swimming in the current.
Rafting Lucca: the best trips on the Lima Stream and the Serchio River
Rafting centers in Garfagnana offer trips of different levels on the Lima River. Starting from Bagni di Lucca, in the heart of the Lima Valley, you can travel either 4 or 8 km along the frothy rapids of the stream. This type of experience is suitable for those who want to get their adrenaline pumping!
Also from Bagni di Lucca, it is possible to reach the valley’s other river, the Serchio. The current here isn’t as strong as in the Lima, and it is a suitable place for those who want to go rafting with children. On both rivers, it is also possible to try packrafting, which is practiced on a one-person inflatable canoe.
How much does it cost to go rafting in Lucca?
For a rafting experience in Bagni di Lucca, prices vary depending on the length and type of route. These range from 35 euros per person for a soft-rafting trip on the Serchio River to 65 euros for the longer route on the Lima.
Gift a rafting trip in Lucca
A fun experience in nature is always a welcome gift, especially if it’s for a special event such as an important birthday, graduation party, or a special occasion such as a bachelor/bachelorette party.
Being a group sport, rafting consolidates friendship and team spirit. Because of these characteristics, it is ideal for a reunion with old friends or for team building events. Next time you need a gift idea, a rafting trip may be just the one for you!
