Kayak Tour in the Novella Gorges

Embark on a canoeing adventure through the Canyon of the Novella Gorges in Val di Non, Trentino – an unparalleled experience accessible to all, guided by the expert instructors of Ursus Adventures.

The guided kayak tour within the Novella River Park takes place in the magnificent Val di Non in Trentino, winding through canyons that reach over 50 meters in height, carved over centuries by the Novella River.

The journey commences from the state-of-the-art Plaze beach in Dermulo, equipped with changing rooms, a bar, toilets, and ample parking. After receiving the necessary equipment and a brief safety briefing, our guides will transport you comfortably by motorboat to the entrance of the canyon where you will embark on your kayaking adventure.

The expedition begins with a captivating introduction to the history and natural beauty of this enchanting canyon. The majestic rock walls, sculpted by the elements over the centuries, create a unique environment that captures the imagination. With the experienced guides of Ursus Adventures by your side, you’ll discover breathtaking views and hidden corners in the Novella River Park. Throughout the journey, the guides will share intriguing details about the local flora and fauna, enriching your experience with in-depth knowledge and curiosity.

This incredible and super-safe experience is designed for nature enthusiasts of all ages, providing a unique opportunity to connect with the pristine beauty of Val di Non.

An amazing and unforgettable experience, this guided kayak excursion is particularly suitable for couples and families, even with young children (from 5 years old).

Guided by an expert instructor, you’ll immerse yourself in an adventure, navigating the fascinating and wild canyons of the Novella in Val di Non, visible in their entirety only from the lake.

The canoe excursion in the Novella Gorges with Ursus Adventures does not require significant physical effort, as much of the approach is done by motorboat tow. The total duration of the experience, including a theoretical lesson, equipment delivery, towing, canoe visit, and return, is approximately 3 hours.

Lake S. Giustina is an artificial lake with significant fluctuations in its water level. Two canyons can be visited through this experience. Sometimes lake conditions or debris deposits may prevent the exploration of both canyons. Nevertheless, the essence of the experience remains extraordinary.

The activity will primarily use double canoes. Efforts will be made, whenever possible, to keep family units together, but there is the possibility, in the case of odd numbers, to pair individuals or use single canoes. The guide has the discretion to divide members of the same group into different canoes to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience.

This is a true top experience to be cherished in your memory book.

The excursion is designed to be safe and accessible to all, allowing families, friends, and nature enthusiasts to fully enjoy this adventure. Let Ursus Adventures guide you through the Gole del Novella and live an experience that will leave a lasting impression on your memory, an authentic encounter with the untouched nature of Val di Non.
