About the activity

Discover one of the wildest and most authentic areas of the Alcantara Gorges, far from the crowds and mass tourism, with Sicily Active on this spectacular body rafting and cliff jumping adventure in the Alcantara Gorges! Located in Eastern Sicily, in the Motta Camastra region and at the foot of Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorges, also known as the Larderia Gorges, are a beautiful 25-metre-high canyon formed by volcanic rock, and traversed by the Alcantara River. This magnificent natural wonder welcomes visitors who like challenging experiences that are rewarded with beautiful views and refreshing dips in crystal clear waters.

Now, body rafting is very similar to canyoning. You can slide, swim and jump from cliffs up to 6 metres high cliffs without using ropes. Just follow your instructor and get ready to explore the Alcantara Gorges like never before! This unique experience allows you to experience the gorges safely, and if you don't feel like making any cliff jumps, your instructor will indicate an alternative path, so you can still enjoy the experience even if you are not a fan of heights.

On the day of your body rafting and cliff jumping excursion in the Alcantara Gorges, a certified instructor will welcome you at the meeting point and hand you all the necessary equipment for the experience: wetsuit, floating jacket, helmet and shoes. Before heading to the starting point of the canyon, your guide will brief you about the itinerary for the activity and the safety rules you must follow to have a great time. Once everyone is ready, they'll drive you to the starting point and show you how to perform the activity safely.

Follow your guide and start body rafting through the Alcantara Gorges! Slide down natural slides, jump, swim, and float in the transparent waters of the river, and observe incredible volcanic rock formations, waterfalls, and natural pools that will amaze you. Your certified instructor will be by your side the whole time to make sure you stay safe during the tour and provide constant support. After approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, you'll reach the finish line, and your guide will lead you back to the meeting point. The activity takes place in a quiet and uncontaminated environment, offering a true immersion in nature and a more authentic experience compared to standard canyoning tours. You don't need any previous experience in the sport, only knowing how to swim, and having a good physical condition is necessary!

Don't miss out on a true adventure in one of the most gorgeous locations in all of Sicily, near Mount Etna, and accompanied at all times by an expert. Book your body rafting and clif jumping excursion in the Alcantara Gorges, Sicily, today!

Very fun, some jumps are a little bit scary but the guides help you through it and they give you an exciting rush.

Thé activity was just amazing, with 3 or 4 jumps in the water from various heights (2..4..7 m). The biggest one I passed because I was too scared and the guide was very supportive and he came with me to join the group on the adventure. The guides are very attentive to everyone and he explains multiple times what to do. The info for how to get there was correct and clear. If you want to test your scare limits, I RECOMMEND 1000%
