Sella River descent
with dog

The dog doesn’t pay — pets travel free in the canoe. People: €35 per adult (from age 13) and €25 per child (5-12 years, minimum age 5 and 1.15 m tall). The only exception is the Saturday of the International Sella Descent, when due to the event’s noise pets are not admitted. You can see the full price breakdown.

Yes, it is one of the most popular dog-friendly activities on the river. The only thing we ask is common sense with the dog: assess if it tolerates water, stays calm for a while, and follows basic commands. If it’s a sociable and balanced dog, the experience usually goes very well.

Yes, no problem. Your pet can get on our return transfer at the end of the route you chose (Mini Sella or Full). It rides with you in the van with the rest of the group, like the canoe — at no additional cost.

It is not mandatory, but it is recommended if your dog doesn’t swim well or is small/medium-sized. We provide the dog life jacket at no extra cost · we have several sizes in the shop while supplies last. That’s why booking ahead is key · they fly in summer. If you come with a dog and want to make sure, let us know when booking and we’ll save the jacket in your name.

No, never. If there is a capsize, a tied leash is a serious risk both for the dog and the people. Inside the canoe it goes loose. Out of the water (embarkation, accesses, changing rooms) it must wear a leash.

For safety and balance, the usual is one dog per canoe. If you come with more than one, we share them between the canoes of the group. For special cases (calm small dog + calm small dog) we can assess on arrival.

Yes, as long as it is a calm dog, used to going out and tolerating water. Large dogs take more space and affect balance more, so we assess it before embarkation. A calm large dog usually goes much better than a very nervous small dog.

It is not essential, but it helps to know in advance. If your dog has no experience in water or doesn’t convey confidence swimming, it’s better to wear a dog life jacket · we provide it while supplies last. The tourist Sella has calm current, but the jacket gives a real plus.

We stop. There are calm river beaches where the dog can get out, stretch paws, drink water and breathe. If it gets very stressed, we can find an early exit from the bank and coordinate the return. No one descends against their dog’s will.

For dogs not very used to it or older, we recommend the Mini Sella (Arriondas → Toraño, 7 km, 2-3 h) — calm pace and less time on water. For active and fit dogs, the Full one (Arriondas → Fríes, 14.5 km, 4-5 h) is perfectly viable with stops.

Yes, especially in high season. Book without paying now: confirm your spot, pay by card before or on the day when picking up the canoe. If you cancel before the day, no cost; if you paid by card, refund with 24 h notice.
