Our tour was a rafting tour, executed by a professional team of an experienced guide. The team was also flexible upon our spontaneous decision to make a rafting tour.
The... read more whole ride was very exciting and we enjoyed it very much, since the team was not only experienced and professional but also funny and helpful afterwards. We were able to to enjoy a sporty activity and beautiful nature at the same time. Fully recommended.

Greetings to the river tribe team! See you next time 🙂

  I actually was a customer of River Tribe in July but completely forgot to write a review! Until now, when I was daydreaming about that excursion. My boyfriend and I... read more did the stand-up paddle board (SUP) on the Lao and absolutely loved it. We felt that it was very professional and safe, and a very special way to experience Pollino. Everyone there is really kind and great to speak with, it's not only a business, but a community! We can't wait to go back.

  Very professional, friendly and very good value for the money. We were there in October. We were lucky, the weather the day before and after was rainy, but we had... read more three hours of sunshine. We were the only costumers and had it all for us alone (plus two guides).The canyon is amazing! We have some quite a bit of rafting before. In comparison, the special thing about this the is the canyon itself; it is really really narrow in many stretches, which is fun to navigate through.
Equipment was very good, all safety measures met, friendly people!
Recommendation.

  The Startup Lao River Tribe offers various activeties around the Lao River in Calabria. Staff and equipment are excellent and the rafting tour we took could not have been better... read more - but others have written how good they are, so I do not need to repeat this. Instead I would like to draw the attention to the smaller things they do, but have an exceptional social and environmental impact on this very poor region. Antonio and his team try to create jobs for the local youths that would otherwise leave the region in search of employment, in an area where unemployment rates of 30% are not uncommon this is something important. Further, the continous battle of keeping and protecting the Lao River safe and clean is draining substantial resources - especially when battling "minor" companies like ENEL who want to build a dam there, making the gorges history.
Go there, have a good time (thanks Mephisto & Adriaaaan) and support the region!

  We did both rafting expeditio (incl. wilde camping) and canyoning. Both experiences where absolutely fantastic. Adventures but you feel save with all instructors. We absolutely recommend River Tribe!

  We did rafting and canyoning and it was great. These guys are professional, friendly patient and their base camp is filled with a positive vibe and friendly staff.

  Well organised and friendly organisation with professional guides and equipment! Super experience and fun time.
