The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure water shoes

Choose footwear with good grip that drains quickly — the quad sections and raft landings both get slippery.

Bring a small dry bag

Protect electronics and a spare layer; operators often provide dry space but a personal bag keeps essentials safe.

Apply reef-safe sunscreen

Long exposure in the canyon and on the river makes sun protection critical — reapply after swims.

Listen closely to safety briefings

Guides coordinate raft maneuvers, zipline harnessing, and buggy transfers — attention reduces risk and improves the flow of the day.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small riverside swimming coves below the main rapids — quieter and ideal for cooling off
  • A lookout road that overlooks the canyon near local villages, rewarding short photo stops with minimal hiking

Wildlife

  • Eurasian otter along quieter river bends
  • Bonelli's eagle or other raptors hunting over the gorge

Conservation Note

Parts of the river corridor fall within protected areas; stick to marked access points, pack out all trash, and avoid disturbing riverbanks where vegetation stabilizes the canyon slopes.

The canyon corridor has Roman and Byzantine traces; bridges and old mule tracks hint at centuries of trade and travel through the gorge.
