ITINERARY
After pickup from your accommodation in the Taormina area, enjoy a scenic drive to the beautiful Alcantara Gorges, one of Sicily's most fascinating natural attractions.
Upon arrival, you'll meet your professional river guides, who will provide a full safety briefing and all the necessary equipment, including a wetsuit, helmet, river shoes, and buoyancy aid.
The adventure takes place in a protected section of the Alcantara River, away from the busiest tourist areas and accessible only with authorised guides. For approximately two hours, you'll descend the river using your body as a natural raft, letting the current guide you through crystal-clear pools, gentle rapids, and narrow lava canyons carved over thousands of years.
Along the route, you'll have the opportunity to float, swim, scramble over volcanic rocks, and, if you wish, enjoy a series of optional jumps into the water. Your experienced guides will adapt the pace of the excursion to the group while ensuring the highest safety standards throughout the experience.
After the activity, you'll have time to change before meeting your driver for the comfortable return journey to Taormina.
