More than a simple excursion, Body Rafting is a profound life experience that will stay with you forever.
Are you looking for an extraordinary experience in close contact with Sicily's wildest nature? Body Rafting at the Alcantara Gorges is the perfect activity for you. Get ready for a dynamic and exciting adventure, discovering one of Europe’s most spectacular river canyons in an active, safe, and engaging way.
Body rafting is an aquatic sport that combines river trekking, light canyoning, and open swimming. Unlike traditional rafting, here it’s just you—with your body and the provided gear—climbing up and floating down the river, using the water's force and direct contact with nature.
During the route, you will experience:
Climbing the Alcantara River walking through water and volcanic rocks.
Passages between lava walls up to 25 meters high.
Jumps and dives from small waterfalls (optional).
Natural slides created by the current.
A final descent letting yourself drift with the water's power in a safe area.
This takes place in a breathtaking landscape, where columnar basalt walls intertwine with lush vegetation and crystal-clear water.
Initial briefing: Meet our certified river guides to learn how to move through the rocks and navigate the route safely.
Gear handout: You will receive a neoprene wetsuit, life jacket, protective helmet, and water boots.
Entering the gorges: Start the river trekking through shallow waters and spectacular landscapes.
Jumping and sliding: In the most adventurous spots, you can dive into natural pools or slide down smooth rocks.
Thrilling descent: Drift with the current through rapids and calm waters, always assisted by guides.
Return and change: At the end of the activity, head back to the base to change and relax.
The experience lasts about two hours. It is suitable for beginners in good physical condition and is a top-rated excursion for those visiting the Etna and Taormina areas.
It is a fun and safe way to explore a unique volcanic canyon.
It combines sport, nature, and discovery.
