From the spectacular mountainous area of the Peneda Gerês National Park, Rio Minho is one of the clearest European rivers with great fauna and flora. Combining both the white water rapids and the great calm stretches Rio Minho is ideal for families and young daredevils who wish to take their first steps rafting.

Rafting is a descent of a group of people in a inflatable raft accompanied by a professional rafting instructor, overcoming all the obstacles that the river and the same provides us. The Minho River a fun river with great scenery around it. Swimming and diving in the river are simply amazing.

This rafting excursion is a fun activity for beginner and experienced rafters with a succession of quick speed rafts, narrow and uneven passages. Also, there are long stretches of the river with calm water to relax.

It is possible to go rafting down the Rio Minho all year round. However, the best time of year to go rafting on Rio Minho is from March to November for the warmer water. During winter months the water level is much higher as well.

Feel your heart pumping with a fun and adventurous rafting excursion near Peneda-Gerês National Park!

In the Summer it is great for first time rafters. It's fun, but not too hard. I didn't try it in the Winter, but was told the water is rougher.
