The Experience

Before You Go

Bring quick-dry layers

Wear a lightweight synthetic top and shorts you don’t mind soaking—you’ll be getting wet on the rafting section and dusty on the buggy trails.

Secure valuables

Use a small dry bag or leave phones in the tour vehicle; bouncy buggy tracks and river rapids are rough on loose items.

Hydrate and snack

An 8-hour day in sun and activity needs water and light snacks between included lunch and breaks.

Listen to guides’ safety briefings

Guides run the rapids and manage buggies—following instructions reduces risk and speeds up the experience for everyone.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Old Roman bridge (a short walk from rafting launch) for photos and calm swimming spots
  • Small riverside cafes near the launch where local families sell fresh fruit and tea after trips

Wildlife

  • Kingfisher
  • Bonelli’s eagle

Conservation Note

Visitor numbers can stress fragile riparian zones—stick to designated paths, pack out trash, and use reef-safe sunscreen to protect freshwater habitats.

The canyon area bears Roman-era bridges and was traversed by ancient trade routes; the river has long been a corridor between coastal and inland settlements.
