For those who enjoy extreme sports with a bit of danger attached then perhaps an exhilarating fast paced journey along the River Serchio in a white water raft or even hydro-speeding could be the exact holiday activity you’re looking for in Tuscany!
There are many charming towns and villages along the river that have a lovely range of accommodation to choose from, including some pretty holiday villas in Bagni di Lucca.
Begin your adventurous water trail further upstream before the River Lima merges with the River Serchio.
Start from the Mammiano suspension bridge or further down at Casabasciana Bridge and race along the many waterfalls and rapids in this thrilling white water river for over forty kilometres until you reach the calmer waters that run along Bagni di Lucca. This intoxicating level of speed and risk has made it the perfect location for rafting enthusiasts to head to.

Admire the stunning landscape as you travel downstream and enjoy seeing the natural beauty of Tuscany as you’ve never seen it before!
Possibly an even more extreme version of white water rafting is a sport called hydro-speed. Invented in France, hydro-speeding is similar to white water rafting, minus the raft. It involves suiting up in a wetsuit and flippers and swimming briskly down a fast flowing river with only a small float board strapped under you for support!
This is certainly not an activity for the faint hearted so be prepared for a few knocks and bumps along the way during what is guaranteed to be the ride of your life!
