Rafting Tour Rio Paiva, Arouca 4h

The iconic image of a group of people in a boat crossing the rapids of a river is something that is quite common in adventure films. And the spectator with a minimum of boldness, when observing the scene, wanted to become one of the protagonists of the story facing the roar of the current.

The satisfaction of crossing the course of a river in rough waters from beginning to end must be analogous to that felt by the hero of a work who ends up saving one of the characters in trouble. Well, now it is viable with this rafting activitywhich takes place on the riverbed of the Paiva River.

If, on top of that, the activity takes place in an environment like the one offered by the Geopark Arouca area, with its exceptional geological heritage, there is no excuse. We are very close to Porto, at a distance of one hour by car.

During the 4 hour journey we will have to overcome the natural barriers that the river places along the way, with the aim of making the activity one of the most fun experiences you can have here.

The raft, which appears to levitate in the water as if by magic, is driven by one of our trained monitors, so there is no risk at any time. For this reason, because we have the most effective safety measures and because a qualified guide supervises the activity, this rafting circuit is suitable for children from 5 years of age.

The adventure of a lifetime, there's no doubt about it. To end the day, we will provide you with the complete equipment necessary for rafting, such as suit and neoprene boots, thermal shirt to avoid the damp cold, raincoat, life jacket and helmet. Likewise, we will give you a photo report and a snack to regain your strength.

Just bring a swimsuit if you want to take a dip after the descent and a towel to dry off. Don't forget to draw the best of your smiles.

And, most importantly, this activity can be adapted for people with special needs, so that everyone can participate in one of the year's events.

Floating through rapids on a raft guided by a trained monitor, let yourself be carried away on an unforgettable and safe adventure, to feel like a true professional. The activity lasts 4 hours.

We recommend bringing a bathing suit and towel.
