Real reviews from recent visitors.
A few recent notes from families and travellers who joined us on the river, the trail, and the horses.
EXCELLENT PROFESSIONALS IN EVERYTHING. WE DID RAFTING, THEN HORSE RIDING. THERE WAS ALWAYS AN INSTRUCTOR WITH US. A VAN TAKES YOU TO THE STARTING POINT. AFFORDABLE PRICES FOR A FAMILY. VERY ORGANIZED...
We had a great time! Vasilis was a great captain and Vangelis an excellent guide to the horses! We did rafting and horseback riding. Very nice experiences even for our little kids (4 years old). No danger for little kids. There was a wait at the beginning but by the time we took a dip and had a bite to eat in the perfect shade of the restaurant, the crowd had thinned out. Everyone was excellent and cheerful!
Good to know before you book.
Need help? Call +30 698 661 7090Is it safe for kids? What ages can join?
Yes — everything is built for families. Children can ride horses from age 4, raft from age 6 (with a parent in the same boat), and kayak from age 8. Certified guides lead every activity and all safety equipment is provided.
How cold is the 11°C water, really?
Refreshingly cold — the Acheron is spring-fed, so it stays at 11°C even when the coast hits 35°C. Most of the trip is spent above the water, and the splash is the best part of a hot summer day. Life jackets are always provided.
What should we bring?
Swimwear, a towel, and water shoes or old trainers; closed-toe shoes with grip for the canyon walk. Leave phones and valuables at our base — we have a secure area at the meeting point.
What if it rains, or our plans change?
Light rain is fine. In case of storms or unsafe water levels we reschedule for free or refund fully — and every booking can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before.
Can we book for the whole family or a group?
Yes — one booking covers your whole family, adults and children together. For larger groups or school visits, call us at +30 698 661 7090 and we'll arrange the day.
Do we need experience or to be fit?
No experience needed — routes are beginner-friendly, guides walk beside every rider, and non-swimmers are welcome with a life jacket (just tell your guide). The short trekking routes suit all fitness levels.
