Frequently asked questions

How intense is rafting the Lao River?
The Lao River cuts through the gorges of Calabria and features rapids that range from gentle stretches to more technical sections. The trip is open to everyone, which means the route is manageable for beginners, but the current is real and the water hits hard on the drops.
What is the scariest moment on the river?
Typically the first major rapid, where the raft accelerates into a narrow gorge channel and the walls close in around you. Your guide from RIVER TRIBE will brief you before each major drop.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Basic swimming ability is strongly recommended. You wear a buoyancy aid throughout, but in the event of a capsize on the Lao, being comfortable in moving water matters.
When is the best time to raft the Lao River for maximum flow?
Late spring, around May and June, typically delivers the highest water levels and fastest current after snowmelt and seasonal rainfall. By August the river is lower and calmer, which suits complete beginners.
