The Sella River Descent with children is the most popular active tourism and adventure activity in Asturias. It’s an ideal experience for spending a great and unforgettable family day, and also the best option for the little ones to enjoy nature and live an adventure-filled experience.
The Activity with Cangas Aventura
The Sella River Descent consists of a canoe trip down the Sella River, where we will provide you with all the necessary equipment to do it safely and for you to enjoy an unforgettable adventure with children. This activity is one of the most fun and rewarding, as no special physical conditions are required, and it can be done throughout the year to enjoy the Asturian natural environment whenever the weather allows.
When you travel down the Sella River by canoe, you enjoy all the richness that Asturian nature offers, while using your skills to steer your canoe: the currents and rapids give the river that adrenaline and fun factor that makes this activity on the Sella River different from other descents.
The journey begins at our activity base facilities located in Arriondas, specifically at La Dehesa estate, situated on the banks of the Sella with more than 20,000 m2. Once here and before getting into the boats, both adults and children will attend an explanation from our instructors about the safety rules to follow before entering the water.
If you’re worried about not being able to complete the entire route during the activity, don’t worry! We have 3 pick-up points to take you back to our facilities afterwards.
Special Measures for the Little Ones
The enjoyment of the little ones is our priority, but above all, it’s important that the activity is safe for all of them. Therefore, we implement a series of special measures to ensure their safety:
- We offer certified life jackets for children.
- We have three-seater canoes, where the child will travel in the middle seat to be more protected between their parents.
Additionally, we recommend wearing comfortable water-appropriate clothing and footwear, a hat or cap, and sunscreen for an even safer and more enjoyable activity.
