⚠️ If you've never done river hikes before, please read the description below to make sure this is the kind of trip you're looking for. River hikes are fun but require good balance and are not recommended for people afraid of heights or water, nor for children under the age of 15.
WHAT IS RIVER HIKING
The coolest thing to do in Summer!
A river hike is a combination of normal hiking and hiking along the course of rivers. It often involves walking in the water and on rocks (can be slippery), low-level bouldering, fording (crossing or wading through the river), and swimming.
Depending on the water level, water can reach up to the waist or chest level. A few of the river hikes might require crossing by swimming.
The best part is, we will stop several times to play in the water, jump from rocks, and swim.
Requirements: average to high fitness level, good balance, swimming skills recommended. Climbing skills are not necessary.
⚠️ This trip is not recommended for people afraid of heights nor for kids under 15yo.
⚠️ If you can't swim or are not comfortable in the water, please talk to us prior to booking.

WHAT TO BRING?
🌟 Proper shoes
River hiking shoes are the best. They have a good grip, protect the feet with a hard shell. They can be good for both river hiking and hiking.
Aquashoes + hiking shoes combination is also okay.Aquashoes are okay for the river part, but you might want to consider bringing a pair of hiking shoes as well for the hiking part.
🌟 Aquabag / waterproof bag
If the water level is a little high, water can sometimes reach waist level on a few occasions. So the best is to have one waterproof bag for all your belonging.
Having one normal backpack + waterproof pouch with important belongings inside the bag is alright but note that your backpack might get wet.
✨ Packing list
- Waterproof bag ‼️
- River hiking shoes ‼️
(or one pair of Aquashoes + one pair of hiking shoes)
