RanaSella did a great job! - RanaSella did a great job! Was easy to find their location by a car (actually, it's a big school of sport activities). We got all instructions in English and individual kayaks and went all they way down the Sella River (17km). It was pretty crowded during 12km, then the river became calmer :) Recommended!

Great! - It was a wonderful experience. The only bad thing is the festival so close and the people hungover. They should take that event away because the routes masters with children

FrogSeals very well, very cool down! - FrogSeals an equipment, the boy who attended us was very nice, very professional, we had him also at the delivery of the picnics, I was very detailed with my celiac son. The very good material, you rating that they take care of it. The descent went well, my children were very happy, the only thing is that there were so many people who end up being somewhere a little dangerous, most people do not know how to use a canoe, and to slow down they crash. We will repeat again with RanaSella hoping that there are fewer people:))) Thank you very much

Descent Seal - The Sella River is overcrowded with kayaks, lots of people. You're tripping over kayaks. Although I must say that the place is beautiful.

Kayaking on the River Sella - We had a great day on the river. Weather was perfect, not too hot. The staff were very friendly but the instructions as to where the pick up points along the river were a little hazy. At no point did we see any signs for our company so they may need to get bigger ones. We had intended to do the full 6km so it didnt matter but it might to other day trippers. There are lots of companies in the area so take your time finding yours as we went to the wrong place initially. It was a much smaller out fit so suited us perfectly. I would highly recommend you do this activity if you are in the area but weekends are very busy so wise to go early.

DO NOT DO THIS ACTIVITY IN AUGUST WITH A FAMILY! - DO NOT DO THIS ACTIVITY IN AUGUST WITH A FAMILY! The river is teeming with boats, most of the people have never been in a kayak before and have NO idea what they are doing. It was impossible to paddle without getting run into by another boat every 30 seconds. The kids were terrified. Not relaxing nor enjoyable at all. The guy at the company told me in August the only people who have fun are the drunk ones.

You have to be more forward-thinking and be your own advisor. - 1) We got confused at the entrance, because there is another adventure park just before and the Ranasella sign was small. 2) The information was very brief, and the stops were not specified correctly. In fact the first stop is very small. We weren't given any extensive instruction on how to use the oars either, and for those of us who have never ridden before, it wouldn't have been a bad idea. 3) On the way back in the van, my seatbelt doesn't work.

Disappointed - The canoes are very small, a person 1.85 tall and 95kg does not fit in the canoe. There is VERY LITTLE WATER and you get grounded on many occasions. Improveable of course, 3rd time we make the descent and we happen the same
