The river bubbles with echoes among the rocks, the rapids are all around communicating their energy; your heart beats faster, but here there is no worry of falling in the water because you are already inside the water.

That is the new and very engaging way to go down the river. Each participant wears a neoprene suit, a life jacket, an helmet and fins.

Then there is the hydrospeed, a sort of small floating rubber “bob” to be hold tightly with the hands in order to float safely in the rapids.

To practise hydrospeed participants have to be in good health, being able to swim, with an age between 18 and 55 years old and be sporty and fit; they have to follow the water lines and the instructions of the guide, who drives you inside the water games and reveals you the secrets that make you enjoy e.t safely.
The descent lasts about two hours; in order to do it to swim well and to be in good health is requested.

How are activities organized? May I know your timetable?

Soft rafting has a more flexible schedule, while for Papigno activities under the Marmore Waterfalls the timetable is extremely rigorous, since it is bound to the opening times of the waterfall.
Marmore waterfall, in fact, has an artificial water release connected with the hydroelectric plant.
That is the reason why on Marmore Waterfall site you find the opening hours of the water.
As rafting center we are forced by those opening hours because rafting can be done only when the water of the waterfall is open.
Usually in the mornign the appointments are 9.30 a.m. and 10.30 a.m., while in the afternoon at 2.00 pm and then to follow every hour.
