Joy and adrenaline - Pollen is the place of my ❤️. Yesterday with Lao rafting was an indelible experience. The eyes, the heart, the whole body in harmony with uncontaminated and boundless nature. Roberto, our guide, a professional who has been doing this job for years and has not lost his passion or his gaze. We couldn't have had a more beautiful and above all safe experience. Thanks to each and every one of you and also to the very nice photographer Elena who captured all our joy in the shots she took for us 😌❤️🙏 I recommend it 1000%. For those who love sport, nature, for those who love to flow like that Lao river that always knows where to go, which welcomed us into its most intimate and secret gorges. Thank you thank you and thank you.

Wonderful experience - I had this wonderful experience together with my DienneAvventura trekking group, my friend Ivana and Andrea reassured me, I was very scared. The wonderful guides at LAORAFTING made the experience fantastic, with great professionalism and competence. Special compliments to Roberto the guide on our dinghy, a very nice and talented person; he was able to reassure us and motivate us with great empathy, thank you Roberto you made me overcome all my fears. Thanks also to Elena, the fantastic photographer of the association. Thank you, thank you, I am very happy to have had this experience, I recommend it to everyone and personally I will return for canyoning

Lao tour! Great event - Great tour, we had a lot of fun, the team is committed and has fun, but safety is not forgotten. We had Mimo as our guide, who also gave us information about the area. Sturdy shoes are required. We had to leave the boat at several points because the river was impassable for us "tourists"... Conclusion: Great team, great guide, great tour, the pictures the team took during the tour are absolutely worth the money! That was thanks to Mimo

Rafting and Canyoning are two experiences you absolutely must live! - Amazing experiences! We did rafting with the guide Francesco, simply top! We had a fantastic experience, adrenaline, nature and strength of the group. Beautiful. We later returned after a couple of weeks to go canyoning with Andrea (and Gabriel). Completely different but equally pleasant experience immersed in nature! The real strength, however, is the quality of the Lao rafting team! Absolutely recommended to anyone!

Unique experience to absolutely relive - FEELING ALIVE 3 hours of pure adrenaline, happiness, diving, swimming, jumping and much more, all wrapped up in one word: Rafting. Experience the Pollino National Park not only from its peaks. A paradisiacal, uncontaminated landscape in one of the most fascinating canyons in Europe. I don't give spoilers. It is simply to be experienced. PS I wish everyone a Franco Medel in their lives. He was more than an instructor. Empathetic Chilean boy but above all a very good motivator with his "GREAT TEAM 😁" even when we crashed. Lao Rafting will give you a unique experience.

Fantastic experience - A few days ago we camped with the our tent at Laorafting, an equipped structure with everything you need: toilets, showers, hairdryers, restaurant, bar, free parking. We also have made (always with this structure) the experience of "Canyon" rafting: a strenuous experience for those who are beginners, but at the same time an experience unforgettable and fascinating. Our guide yes calls "Helena" a very girl indeed prepared, friendly and nice (like everything else of the staff). We will definitely be back.

Wonderful experience!! - What can I say, it was a truly wonderful experience! My boyfriend and I took part in the 3-hour excursion on Saturday morning, for both of us it was the first time... but certainly not the last! First of all, the guys from Lao Rafting were all very kind and helpful, but a special mention must be made to Roberto, our competent and friendly guide, who made us spend an unforgettable, exciting and fun day. The landscape in the canyon is truly breathtaking, at times surreal. Paddling among those immense walls, among waterfalls, rocks and vegetation is truly an experience to try at least once in your life. Fascinating and fun at the same time. At the beginning I was a little afraid because I thought that 3 hours of travel were too much, but they literally flew by! Without a shadow of a doubt to be done again!
