About
This excursion is particularly suitable for all those who are not satisfied with the classic 16 km of "Canyon" Rafting and want to live a full experience but without "getting tired" too much.
It starts upstream of the inhabited center of Laino Borgo, in San Primo, and after having traveled 4 km immersed in lush vegetation you reach the base camp for lunch, obviously always with our typical products. After the stop, you get back on your bike and set off again to discover the spectacular Gorges of the Lao, with its breathtaking 16 km.

- Prikki0 contributionsWonderfulWe can confidently say it was the best experience of my life. The adventure was exhilarating, and the natural scenery was absolutely breathtaking. What made the tour truly exceptional, though, were the guides. The team was incredibly professional and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. A special shoutout goes to Francesco, who was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly entertaining. His humor and enthusiasm added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. My wife was a bit scared at first, but Francesco was fantastic at helping her overcome her fears.Written July 12, 2024

- christiana r0 contributionsGeronimoooo!!!What a unique experience going rafting along the Lao River! We chose the introductory Soft Rafting as we had our daughters (aged 14 and 9) with us, but it was still a lot of fun. The scenery was very peaceful but created a sense of adventure and exploration and our guide Geronimo made the whole experience very memorable. Definitely recommended.Written August 15, 2022
- Culture221690165300 contributionsWorthwhile experienceWhat a great experience! Rafting 2,5 hours through the canyon with some amazing views, technical rapids and perfectly guided by Geronimo. Really enjoyed it.Written July 31, 2022
- 439amirz0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceLao canyon is an extraordinary place well worth visiting, and doing it while rafting is even better. The rapids were not that exhilarating but it is a technical river and Geronimo our guide did a great job making sure we get the most of it. Geronimo and Alina were very professional and gave us their full attention throughout the activity. Highly recommended!Written July 31, 2022
- F9914KUkime0 contributionsA fun memorable day with Lao River Rafting!We recently did a 3 hour canyoneering trip with Memo and Ricardo-- it was fabulous and so much fun!! The scenery is gorgeous, the mountain water cool (but refreshing thanks to the wetsuit we were wearing!) and we felt completely safe in their capable hands. It was lots of fun scrambling over the rocks, sliding down them, rappelling etc -- we were left with 80+ photos from the day. Plus, they recommended an amazing agriturismo, Lao River Camp, for lunch, called ahead for us and we had one of the best meals in Italy.Written July 21, 2022

Unire il tratto soft e le gole è la cosa più giusta che si possa fare! L'organizzazione offerta dalla scuola è impeccabile e ti permette di non avere pensieri per tutta la giornata, pensano a tutto loro!! I ragazzi sono disponibili simpatici e molto professionali. Nella prima parte ci si diverte e si imparano bene i comandi e le posizioni sul gommone, si fa una bellissima pausa nel bel mezzo della natura si mangia e ci si riposa un po' nella seconda parte si entra nelle gole e ci si comincia a divertire sul serio! Entrambe le parti offrono degli scenari bellissimi e diversi tra loro resi ancora più interessanti dalle spiegazioni delle guide. Consiglio vivamente a tutti! Esperienza da fare!!

Un'esperienza unica! Paesaggi meravigliosi ed esperienza su gommone divertente. Ma le 5 stelle sono meritatissime soprattutto per tutto lo staff, decisamente competente, professionale, simpaticissimo, dove è evidente che tutto il loro lavoro viene svolto con tanta passione, e che rende il tutto indimenticabile. Complimenti davvero. 🙂

Highly recommended experience. First, the rules to be maintained throughout the entire route are introduced, then we move on to a quieter first stretch of 4km which therefore allows us to clearly hear the sounds of the water and the surrounding vegetation, then we continue with a lunch break on the shore to the river and we set off again for a 16km route characterized by more challenging sections and more evocative landscapes of which we are able to appreciate even small details thanks to the indications of our guides. it was a long and intense experience, made even more pleasant by the friendliness and professionalism of the entire team.

Rafting on the Lao River is an unforgettable adventure.
From the beginning the staff at the facility were incredibly courteous and professional. I particularly appreciated their safety-conscious approach, providing a thorough pre-ride briefing and ensuring everyone was wearing the necessary protective equipment.
The excursions themselves were simply extraordinary. The surrounding landscape was breathtaking, with the river winding through gorges, rocks and exciting rapids. The rafting instructors (Roberto in my case) are wonderful, always there to guide and encourage the group. You can see their experience and passion for the activity, which contributed to creating a fun and adventurous atmosphere.
The organization of the excursions was perfect. The program was well structured, allowing for the right combination of action and moments of relaxation. I also appreciated the fact that a photographer (Elena) was available along the route, who captured the best moments of the adventure.
The professionalism and meticulous attention to detail at this facility made the rafting experience absolutely exceptional.
In conclusion, if you are an adrenaline lover and are looking for an extraordinary and well-organized rafting experience, I recommend this facility.
I'm sure you will experience an unforgettable day, surrounded by competent and motivated people, in the beauty of wild nature.

E’ difficile trovare le parole per poter esprimere al meglio quali emozioni riesci a provare con queste esperienze perché neanche foto e video possono riuscirci. Tutto veramente UNICO, ma soprattuto, grazie alle guide che con la loro esperienza e simpatia, hanno reso queste due giornate qualcosa di veramente unico nella vita. 1000 volte grazie a tutti ❤️

Abbiamo vissuto una fantastica giornata a contatto con la natura , dove il tempo non si misura in ore ma in emozioni , con la nostra fantastica guida Geronimo che con professionalità e umorismo ci ha guidato attraverso il canyon e ci ha fatto divertire mostrando le bellezze del fiume.
