Rafting: everything you need to know about this discipline

Rafting is a river sport that involves descending the water course of a river or mountain stream. Aboard a special unsinkable raft, the crew traverses rapids and overcomes natural obstacles they find in the way.

Before leaving, the guides always give a briefing to learn the basic rules. Then you board the dinghy and paddle all together in the clear waters of the river, following the guide’s commands.

In its recreational form, rafting is an activity for everyone. There are all kinds of trips with different levels of difficulty, making the experience suitable even for beginners. Children and families are welcome. There are special soft-rafting trips for them, which are ideal for a first approach and to have fun in complete safety.

Rafting in Tuscany: the best places to practice it

One of the most popular locations for outdoor tourism in Tuscany is Bagni di Lucca, a town popular since the 19th century for its hot springs and natural landscapes. Rafting in Bagni di Lucca allows you to delve into nature and discover an evocative territory hidden among the hills of the Tuscan Apennines.

The Lima Creek is an inexhaustible source of fun and surprises. Navigating its waters means crossing dynamic currents, foaming rapids and rocky ridges. In addition, the breathtaking landscapes of the Lima Valley make a rafting experience in Bagni di Lucca truly unforgettable.

Lovers of art cities and urban environments, on the other hand, can go rafting on the Arno River. Florence‘s river is poised to provide unprecedented glimpses of the Tuscan capital with a scenic tour through Pontevecchio and other points of interest in the city.

How much does it cost to go rafting in Tuscany?

Prices for a rafting experience in Tuscany vary depending on the starting location and type of route. These range from 29 euros per person for a scenic tour on the Arno River in Florence to 65 euros for an adrenaline-fueled trip on the Lima Creek in Bagni di Lucca.

19 May 2025 | Rafting panoramic tour in the heart of Florence

A perfect mind-emptifier!

After some initial fears, having never done this activity before, it was truly a unique experience. We found two very good and competent guides, helpful and friendly. We set off from the place that had been indicated to us and immediately felt the thrill of the descent. We chose to try the less demanding one and it went very well, also thanks to Cecilia's helpfulness. Afterwards we walked along the river in the direction of Pontevecchio, admiring the beauty of Florence. There was no lack of pleasant conversation, relaxation and even a little history of the bridge, provided to us by our guides. Even the most fearful of us were really pleased with the experience. I recommend bringing your own slippers or, even better, slippers for the rocks, because there are places where you walk in shallow water. Fantastic experience!

26 Apr 2025 | Packrafting at Lake Massaciuccoli in Tuscany and aperitifs

From water to prosecco

Magnificent experience on Lake Massaciuccoli, aperitif and good prosecco at sunset. Initially the reeds deceive the experience, but as the view opens up, you don't regret paddling! Beppe (Giuseppe) guide number 1, beyond his unique kindness, professionalism and knowledge of the area. He even advised us on an itinerary beyond the water! Recommended!
