... A day on the river : white water RAFTING and WALKING along the river
In the Morning meeting at Onda Selvaggia/Wild Wave Centre locality Merlo in San Nazario (VI) to take part to a Rafting descent
Rafting is one of the most favourite activity. First of all because it is suitable for everyone, do not require any technical or physical training and even the youngest since 7 / 8 years of age can take part to the river descent.
In addition to the unforgettable experience to come down the river and see a natural environment from the inside this is an extraordinary activity that stimulates the aggregation and consolidation of relationships.
THE DESCENT
At the get in , on divides into groups /teams and before running the river , we make a practical trial dry just to test commands and security rules. After a brief test of acclimatization we get on board and starts the descent.
The first part is easy and has the ideal characteristics to put into practice all the manoeuvres learned and create the right synergy of the group.
The route is varied with rapids, waves and exciting water games where everyone can interact with each other to contribute to conduct the "raft" and at the same time know the river environment from a unique point of view.
The activity is exciting because the teams establish a close relationship between them "challenging" in small competitions and games under the supervision of Rafting Guides.
