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!

A wonderful experience, really good fun – definitely one to repeat. William was brilliant! After explaining all the safety instructions to us, he made sure we had a truly lovely day combining sport, nature and fun.

We went rafting...

We went rafting with our 11- and 4-year-old children and had a brilliant time!! Laura, Beppe and Lorenzo are lovely and really knew how to keep us entertained, even though we had several young children with us. We hope to come back soon to try canyoning!

Paddling like a happy mermaid on the wave of my 52nd year

I treated myself to a fun adventure for my birthday, sharing this little adventure with my two children, Lorenzo and Azzurra! The instructors were really on the ball, friendly and able to put you at ease. I’m sure I’ve got photos of myself in some embarrassing situations – straddling rocks or even with my back turned as we navigated the little rapids – but I swear it was great fun and very relaxed. I’d recommend it even to those who are a bit of a scaredy-cat like me…On the final stretch, I even took William’s friendly advice to ride the canoe upside down and showed off my mermaid skills (or perhaps monk seal skills!??) – well done, everyone! We’ll definitely be back for more adventures!
