You meet at the pool in Villa d'Adda, helmets and life jackets stacked like quiet promises. The guides fit each person, hand you a paddle and load the rafts, then drive the group downstream to Cisano Bergamasco. From the raft the Adda feels patient and wide; reeds tip and currents nudge, offering a new, low-angle view of the park’s floodplain and tree-lined banks. Along the 5 km glide the river invites splashes, short dives and playful water games — the kind that make the afternoon feel effortless.
