Paddle through gorges, camp by the fire, and slide down a mountain stream

A two-day rafting and canyoning expedition in Calabria combines 16 km of paddling through canyon gorges with an overnight camp and a second day of canyoning down the Vrisa stream. Private transport, dinner, breakfast and all equipment are included; the guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian. Minimum age is 14, and moderate fitness is required.

The Experience

The expedition starts with 16 km of rafting through the canyon's magnificent gorges. You paddle to the base camp where a shower waits, then help set up the tents and gather wood for the evening fire. Dinner is built from local, zero-kilometer products — the kind of meal that tastes different when you've earned it outdoors. The night settles around the fire with the group.

Breakfast comes next, and then the second activity: canyoning down the Vrisa stream. You slide along the watercourse itself, moving through the landscape instead of past it. At the end, lunch is available if you want it. Private transportation handles the logistics between activities and back, so the two days hold together without arranging rides or meeting points.

The operator provides all rafting and canyoning equipment, bottled water throughout, and the guide in your language. A moderate level of fitness matters — this is a real expedition, not a float — and the minimum age is 14.

Is this one for you?Book this if you're staying in Calabria without a car — private transport handles the logistics between the two days and back, so you focus on paddling and sliding instead of arranging rides. The overnight camp is the core of it: you're not commuting to a hotel each night, which is what makes the full expedition possible and the fire-side dinner part of the story.
