Crete is an adventure playground for families who love the great outdoors, and this River Trekking Outdoor Family Adventure is for those that want to take it to the next level! In the company of an expert local guide you will hike along the bed of a river, swim where it is deep enough, scramble up rocks, and climb over obstacles on the way to the ultimate goal – the amazing Preveli Monastery.
The River
The day starts with a visit to a waterfall, which is the source of the river which will then be followed. After seeing the waterfall, you will then be taken to an old arched Venetian bridge where the trek itself begins.
You will follow the path of the river, literally in the bed itself. There will be many opportunities to swim and play in the water along the way, and the entire activity is one of adventure and excitement.
As you make your way through the beautiful Kourtaliotis gorge, you will then emerge into an area with a forest of palms trees. The sight and feeling is unforgettable, and this area where the river meets the sea is simply mind-blowing. There will then be some time spent here where you can swim in the river and sea, before finally continuing on to Preveli Monastery.
This River Trekking Outdoor Family Adventure covers around 4 km and takes 3 hours. It is suitable for people of good health and with a general level of fitness. The most important things to bring along, are a sense of fun and adventure!

Hi, We are staying in Chania. I am looking for some sort of water adventure for my family (two adults, one teen and two girls – ages 9 and 11.) We are looking for a private tour on June 18th. Is this doable from Chania? What is the distance? Or, do you have suggestions closer to us.
Thanks
