What you can expect

The experience begins at the meeting point at the company's base, where you will receive a warm welcome and a brief orientation from our cheerful, experienced, and adventure-loving guides. The activity lasts approximately 3 hours, making it perfect for those seeking a full adventure, and ends at the same meeting point where it started. Next, we kit all participants out with a life jacket, helmet, and paddles, ensuring complete safety for the trip. On colder days, we provide wetsuits and windbreakers to guarantee comfort and protection.

During the descent, you will be surrounded by breathtaking scenery: mountains, lush vegetation, majestic rocks, and the crystal-clear waters of the river create a unique setting.

Along the way, we will encounter thrilling rapids, but there will also be calm stretches, perfect for relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the surrounding nature. For the more adventurous, a special stop will offer the chance to jump off a rock into the water… an unforgettable experience for those seeking a bit more adrenaline!

Following the guide's instructions carefully and promptly is essential to navigate the rapids safely and make the most of the experience. Clear communication between the guide and the participants is key to a fun and safe adventure.

Our rafting activity is inclusive and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. Children aged 6 years and older can participate, provided they are accompanied by an adult at all times, ensuring that everyone enjoys the experience safely. In addition, people up to 85 years old can also participate, provided they are in good physical condition and follow the guides' instructions throughout the 8–12-kilometer (5–7-mile) route.

Photos and videos are included in the package, so you can relive this unique experience whenever you like.

Participants are advised to bring appropriate clothing for getting wet, closed-toe shoes, sun cream, a bath towel, and a change of dry clothes to put on at the end of the activity. With all the necessary infrastructure, experienced guides, and stunning natural scenery, this activity combines adrenaline, fun, and teamwork, making it ideal for boosting morale, creating amazing memories, and experiencing unique moments.

At the end, we will celebrate together with a toast of Alvarinho wine and a delicious local snack, perfect for replenishing our energy. To round things off in style, we will go on a short hike to loosen up our muscles and further enjoy the natural surroundings. This activity is packed with adrenaline, fun, and teamwork, making it ideal for boosting morale and creating incredible memories.

In addition, transport is included: we will take you from the meeting point to the launch site on the river and, at the end, bring you back to the meeting point.

The rafting activity starts at the company's base, where you will be welcomed and briefed by our experienced guides, and ends at the same location.
