The packraft is a single-seater inflatable boat that allows you to enjoy the thrill of a close encounter with the spectacular landscape of the Lao River.
Our offer includes 3 types of routes of varying difficulty in which the only requirements are to get involved and have fun.
Pollino Rafting
In the heart of the Pollino National Park.
Since 1996 it has been operating in the outdoor sector, becoming one of the largest and most established centers in the South.
A point of reference in the area, it now boasts multiple collaborations pursuing objectives such as: sustainable tourism, valorisation of the area and youth entrepreneurship.
PackRaft Easy – Light and fun
The route designed for everyone from 10 years old and for those who prefer to experience an activity like PackRaft by experiencing the Lao River in a totally different way. A very educational route of about 3 km where the characteristics of the watercourse, which is not impetuous, allow you to appreciate nature and the surrounding area.
PackRaft Medium – Fun and adventure
The simple but adrenaline-filled route is about 4 km in which you will find Dante-like scenarios, streams, waterfalls and jumps.
PackRaft Full and Trekking
An authentic experience, full of discoveries, where the tranquility of the Lao River combines with the vitality of the paths.
Approximately 3 km traveled with your own Packraft to the entrance of the Lao Gorges;
Once the descent is over, after having closed and placed the PackRafts in the backpack, it’s time to enjoy a well-deserved snack.
We set off again for the second part of the route, approximately 3 km of trekking in contact with uncontaminated nature.
The activity takes place from March to October
