Rafting on the Acheron River
Riverdream Rafting is a unique outdoor activity that combines safety, teamwork, and the experience of sailing on the legendary Acheron River. Located at the river's source, in the heart of a natural landscape of exceptional beauty, it offers a perfectly organized rafting experience with a mild degree of difficulty, ideal for all ages.
A river steeped in history
Acheron has been known since ancient times for its mythological role as the "river of sorrow," connecting the upper world with the underworld. Today, however, this river carries visitors on a peaceful and safe adventure through a natural setting full of life and greenery.
The Riverdream Rafting experience
At Riverdream Club, we offer two rafting routes, both gentle in nature and with a strong focus on safety and proper guidance.

A fast and beginner-friendly route, ideal for:
