The experience step by step
Reception & Preparation
Upon arrival, the Riverdream team will welcome you, inform you about the route and provide you with all the necessary equipment. There is a short briefing on the basic techniques of using the kayak or canoe, depending on what you have chosen.
The choice of canoe or kayak depends on the type of experience you want:
- Canoe: larger, more stable, ideal for two or three people.
- Kayak: lighter and more manoeuvrable, ideal for one or two passengers.
The water ride
The sailing takes place in a calm part of the river, near the springs, with plenty of shade from plane trees and nature that literally "embraces" the flow of the water. The route does not include any dangerous points, currents or obstacles. The goal is relaxed navigation, observing the landscape and connecting with the water and its rhythm.
As you paddle, enjoy:
- The silence of nature (only the sound of the paddle and the birds)
- The coolness of the river, even on the hottest days
- The opportunity to exercise gently, without effort or tension
The river of myth
Acherontas is more than a landscape, it is a symbol and a history. According to mythology, it was the passage of souls to the underworld. Today, it is one of the most beautiful natural destinations in the country, a living organism full of mystery, life and purity.Every paddle you pull on the Acheron is like touching a piece of the myth. Being in the river, not just beside it, is the best way to feel its energy.
