River Trekking al fiume Alcantara

River Trekking in the Alcantara Gorges

River Trekking in the Alcantara Gorges

Water trekking is an exciting walk against the current in the cold water of Alcantara river. A way to admire from the bottom of the canyon the amazing columnar basalts of the Alcantara gorges. Thanks to the support of our guides, who will explain you the historical and scientific characteristics of this corner of Sicily, you will appreciate the delicate balance of the river ecosystems.

The experience we propose you is a way to live the river without any meditation, an experience that let you familiarize with the natural elements, walking between water and sky, between air and fire, surrounded by the only indestructible element: the rock.

Grazie a Francesco e Salvatore, abbiamo potuto gustare nel modo migliore i meravigliosi scorci che la natura ci ha regalato in questo luogo! Fondamentali professionalità e coscienza (anche e soprattutto con neofiti come noi) non sono mai mancate!

Giornata all'insegna dell'avventura, con il cuore e la testa. Ottime guide per canyoning e body-rafting, in piccoli gruppi seguiti con estrema cura, attenzione e buon umore! Perfetto per scoprire le Gole dell'Alcantara raggiungendo tratti selvaggi e acque vorticose in totale serenità e sicurezza.

Con Sicily Green Adventures ieri abbiamo fatto canyoning alle gole dell'Alcantara. È stata una bellissima esperienza, grazie alla competenza e simpatia di Ciccio e Ture. "Paladini" di un turismo più sostenibile, ci hanno fatto vivere un'avventura emozionante ma sempre in massima sicurezza. Bravissimi!

Amazing experience!!! It was the first time my girlfriend and I went canyoning and it was absolutely spectacular. Both Salvatore and Francesco were fantastic guides and instructors. They made us feel confident and gave us excellent support throughout the activity. Even the most difficult challenges became easy. It was definitely a great morning, a great adventure and with stunning views. We also have great photos and videos taken by them to remind it. For those who don't have experience in this type of activity, I highly recommend doing it in the company of these two guys. Thanks for everything and I'm sure when we come back to Sicily we will meet again!

This was absolutely the highlight of our six-week holiday! We had Gole Dell'Alcantara entirely to ourselves until the very end of the tour, when we reached the public area. Francesco and Salvatore were knowledgeable, patient and really friendly. Highly recommend the canyoning experience! We're complete novices, but Francesco and Salvatore were supportive and encouraging, and they gave us options throughout. Thank you for the most amazing experience - we loved it!
