White water rafting near Ioannina runs from May through September, with 4 tours priced between 40 € and 70 €. Two rivers are on the table: the Voidomatis, a crystal-clear river cutting through Vikos-Aoos National Park, and the Arachthos, a longer, wilder stretch toward Tzoumerka. Budget-friendly sessions on the Voidomatis start at 40 € for 3h and are open to everyone, including beginners. The Arachthos tours run 4h to 4.5h at 53 € to 70 €, with more sustained current and stronger rapids. All tours are conducted in Greek and English. Pick the Voidomatis if it's your first time in a raft or you want a shorter session. Go for the Arachthos if you want more water, more time on the river and a higher adrenaline baseline.

Wear a swimsuit or quick-dry shorts under your wetsuit, which operators typically provide. Bring water shoes or secure sandals that can get fully submerged, a change of dry clothes for after, and a waterproof bag for valuables. Sessions run up to 4.5h, so sun protection on exposed skin matters.
Getting there
Meeting points vary by river: Voidomatis tours depart from the Klidonia and Konitsa area north of Ioannina, while Arachthos tours meet directly in Ioannina city or at Frasta in Tzoumerka. Check your specific tour's meetingPoint before departure, as the two rivers are in opposite directions from the city.
