Body Rafting in the Alcantara Gorges: Adrenaline Between Canyons and Waterfalls
Body rafting in the Alcantara Gorges is an intense and immersive outdoor adventure, perfect for those who want to experience the river up close. No rafts or inflatables—just your body, the crystal-clear waters of the Alcantara River, and an expert guide leading you through the canyon.
The Alcantara Gorges are located between Taormina and Mount Etna, in one of the most spectacular river environments in eastern Sicily. The area is famous for its towering basalt walls, shaped by ancient lava flows, and its pristine natural setting.
An Accessible, Fun, and Authentic Experience
During the excursion, you’ll alternate between river trekking, swimming, and natural rock slides carved into volcanic stone. You’ll move through the canyon from the inside, discovering hidden spots that are unreachable from standard tourist paths.
- Swimming in crystal-clear water and natural pools
- Natural rock slides shaped by lava
- Small rapids and waterfalls
- 5 optional jumps performed in complete safety
The route has a medium-easy difficulty level and is suitable even for first-time body rafting participants, as long as they are in good physical condition.
The Enchanting Venus Waterfall
One of the most exciting moments of the experience is reaching the Venus Waterfall, an iconic and atmospheric spot within the Alcantara Gorges, surrounded by nature and local legends. After a short break, the adventure continues with climbs, descents, and new canyon passages.

Tour Reviews
Very nice experience !! Would recommend this body rafting excursion. Feels very private en personal, almost as if it is not a touristic place at all !
10/10
Un’esperienza assolutamente da fare anche se siete principianti come me, personale gentilissimo e preparato! Un paio di ore da ricordare per tutta la vita
Esperienza e paesaggio che ti lasciano senza parole, assolutamente da rifare. Gabriele è stato presento per ogni nostro passo ed è stato super disponibile, ottima guida per un escursione del genere.

Esperienza bellissima… Un paesaggio incantevole… I ragazzi molto educati e disponibili… Consigliatissimo 💪💪💪
Un’esperienza unica. Complimenti alle due guide che hanno dimostrato professionalità e contemporaneamente si sono divertite con noi.
Luogo unico da visitare e emozioni talmente forti che la temperatura dell’acqua passa in secondo piano.
Consiglio vivamente.
Super soddisfatti. Riandremo! Tanti saluti dai Mau Mau. Una menziona a parte merita Davide, il gatto delle gole.
