Canoe down the river
RENT A CANOE IN CLEAN, COOL, FRESH WATER
La Riserva Naturale Alto Merse is a big natural reserve in central Tuscany, the perfect place to have an easy adventure in canoe.
30 minutes from Piazza del Campo of Siena, and 90 minutes from Campanile di Giotto e Ponte Vecchio of Florence, spreads this beautiful forest. Here you are surely away from cities but even villages or paved road are not exactly around the corner… Well, let’s tell all the story: the hours or days you’ll stay here you probably won’t see any other human being.
More likely a deer, a fox, or if you are more luky a wolf, could cross the river in front of you. Yes, because the valley you will be in is a totally wild corner were nature is the queen.
Rent a canoe and here you’ll forget the crowd of the touristic cities and our easy to paddle canoes will smoothly bring you along the meanders of this silent and peaceful oasis.
And in our 2-days proposal you also will enjoy the thrill of an overnight like a real pioneer.
All trips can be self guided or you can ask for your guide.
A perfect adventure for families too!

Quick questions
Can I do it although I have been in canoe before?
Yes. Our inflatable canoes are very easy and stable. Also you will go downstrem and even if with slow flow, that helps.
Can I do it if I am not fit?
Yes. But it is important you are in good ealth and not too much overweight.
Are there dangers?
No. Service is available only in ordinary river condition. That means you will find a mild flow, with few stretches of little faster, easy and fun water.
However always use all obvious cautions needed in any outdoor activity.
Phone line is absent all along the river, so you can decide to rent one of our satellite phone.
What is the equipment and the apparel I must have?
Just wear good tennis shoes or hiking boots. No flip-flops or open-toe shoes.
A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are suggested.
With the rent of your canoe, you will have waterproof bag or can.
