About the activity

Immerse yourself in the wild, untamed beauty of Greece with a thrilling rafting session on the Arachthos River in Tzoumerka near Ioannina, widely considered one of the country's most scenic waterways!

Flowing through the heart of the Tzoumerka region in Epirus, this river carves a breathtaking path through limestone cliffs and dense vegetation. Far removed from the coastal beach crowds, the Arachthos River canyon reveals a dramatic mountainous landscape where natural springs burst from the rock faces and plane trees line the riverbanks.

Your aquatic adventure begins at the local base, where you will be welcomed by an expert team of professional river guides. After receiving your top-tier technical gear (neoprene suit & shoes, helmet, life jacket, paddle) you will follow a thorough safety briefing before setting out on your rafting excursion! The 12-kilometre river run offers the perfect balance of excitement and scenery, alternating between playful Class 2 and 3 rapids that get your adrenaline pumping and calmer pools where you can relax and float in nature! Halfway through the descent, you will admire the hidden and spectacular Glyfki waterfall.

This river descent is designed to be highly accessible, making it the perfect introduction for curious beginners and active families alike. With highly stable pneumatic rafts and a professional guide at the helm of every boat, your safety is completely assured throughout the journey. The rapids require basic team synchronization and paddling cooperation, which quickly builds a fun sense of teamwork among participants. Whether you choose to join a standard group or prefer a more tailored pace, this excursion provides an intimate encounter with the most pristine river ecosystem in Greece.
