3.Water Trekking Classic

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 156 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $58Best value

In the Val di Lima, climb, swim and walk through a river route with a professional guide and a group capped at eight. Wetsuit, helmet, CE-standard water shoes, transport and insurance are included. Expect a three-hour outing, including briefing and transfers, with cliff jumps and easier alternatives along the way. Guide Fred is praised for adapting jumps to different comfort levels.

“We all (wife, 11-year old son and I) had a great experience! Fred was our guide and he was terrific, challenging our son to progressively more challenging cliff jumps, while often showing my wife (and sometimes me) the more 'easy' way around. Water was cold, but refreshing, and wetsuits provided by operator kept everyone comfortable.”
