Rafting, everything you need to know to practice it at its best

Rafting is a river sport that is practiced aboard a special boat, called a raft, which can carry a maximum of 8 people. Before setting off, there is always a short introductory briefing to learn how to properly use the paddles and the rest of the equipment.

After boarding, an experienced rafting guide gives directions to the rest of the crew to overcome the rapids and natural obstacles along the way. Rafting is an affordable activity for everyone. You just have to choose the route that suits your level, from the easiest for beginners to the most challenging for adrenaline junkies.
