Very professional, friendly and very good value for the money. We were there in October. We were lucky, the weather the day before and after was rainy, but we had three hours of sunshine. We were the only costumers and had it all for us alone (plus two guides).The canyon is amazing! We have some quite a bit of rafting before. In comparison, the special thing about this the is the canyon itself; it is really really narrow in many stretches, which is fun to navigate through. Equipment was very good, all safety measures met, friendly people! Recommendation.

This excursion is particularly suitable for all those who are not satisfied with the classic 16 km of "Canyon" Rafting and want to live a full experience but without "getting tired" too much. It starts upstream of the inhabited center of Laino Borgo, in San Primo, and after having traveled 4 km immersed in lush vegetation you reach the base camp for lunch, obviously always with our typical products. After the stop, you get back on your bike and set off again to discover the spectacular Gorges of the Lao, with its breathtaking 16 km.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Use of SCUBA equipment, Lunch

We had a fantastic time with Lao Rafting, they were all really friendly, we felt completely safe and the views down the gorge were amazing. We never would have seen these sights without this trip. Thank you Francesco - you were an incredible guide! From Natalia and David ????????

We met in Roberto a man of great passion for his birds of prey. We are familiar with many bird shows around the world but here we met a man and his family committed to fundamental principles of sustainable ecotourism and management of raptors. His knowledge and love is apparent and deep. It’s not actually a show more a learning experience including interaction with wild creatures and appreciation of people who commit to looking after threatened species. The setting in Pollino next to Civita ( Eagles Nest ) is amazing.

I actually was a customer of River Tribe in July but completely forgot to write a review! Until now, when I was daydreaming about that excursion. My boyfriend and I did the stand-up paddle board (SUP) on the Lao and absolutely loved it. We felt that it was very professional and safe, and a very special way to experience Pollino. Everyone there is really kind and great to speak with, it's not only a business, but a community! We can't wait to go back.
