from 59 € p.p.incl. VAT
The summer experience in the beautiful Allgäu on the Iller with a light current and small rapids — also for the whole family. The tour is adaptable to water levels and fitness levels. Equipped with inflatable canoes, you will conquer the river together with our certified guide and enjoy the breathtaking nature. You paddle and steer yourself — that is the difference from classic rafting.
Lively summer event | Fantastic Allgäu mountain landscape | Exciting team challenge
During the optional team rally, the team faces exciting challenges and can prove itself.
Paddle down the rapids using boat steering and eddy turns. Games and exercises provide even more fun — e.g., navigating courses, crossing the river as a team, or a rescue exercise. Action is guaranteed here.
Bonus material: Mental strength from elite sports
Peter Tümmers has been the mental coach for the national whitewater team for years. What world champions in whitewater need at an Olympic level is incorporated into every one of our canoe tour evaluations — from breathing training before the rapids to team coordination under pressure.
From boarding the inflatable canoe together to focused paddling through rapids and the competitive team rally — canoe rafting on the Iller is action, nature experience, and team challenge all in one summer day.
In an inflatable canoe, three people head through the rapids of the Iller. Before the start: a short introduction to the art of boating by our certified guide — paddling technique, boat steering, safety basics. Then into the river: eddy turns, rapids, water fun with a specific team task — because the boat only goes where the whole crew paddles simultaneously.
The tour is adaptable to water level and fitness level. For athletic groups: navigating courses through narrow passages, crossing the river as a team as a coordination challenge, a rescue exercise as a survival element. For mixed groups: a calmer pace with a focus on a shared nature experience. Optional team rally for action lovers — a competitive version where the team must prove itself.
In classic rafting, a professional guide steers the large raft; the team paddles along, but the responsibility lies with the guide. In canoe rafting, you sit in groups of three in an inflatable canoe and steer yourselves — boat handling, course decisions, rescue maneuvers: all as a team. More personal responsibility, a steeper learning curve, more direct contact with the water — and a significantly more affordable price point (from €59 instead of €129).
We start at the ICO Outdoor Center directly on the Iller. Here, equipment is distributed, safety instructions are given, and then we head together to the entry point. The Iller in the Allgäu section offers a gentle current with small rapids — ideal for families and mixed groups, with adjustable difficulty levels.
After the tour is before the wind-down: Hot showers, bar with drinks and snacks, foosball, lounge area, bouldering wall — all directly on the river with a mountain view. The perfect place to review the tour experiences, warm up, and end the day together.
Depending on the water level and daily conditions, we choose entry and exit points. With high water: a shorter, intense route with more action. With low water: a longer, calm tour with more focus on enjoyment. Weather (almost) doesn’t matter — if it rains, it just gets wetter; if it’s sunny, it’s a perfect summer day. Only in the event of a thunderstorm is it postponed.
We meet at the ICO Outdoor Center near Blaichach. After the welcome and equipment distribution (wetsuit, life jacket, helmet), a safety briefing follows by the certified guide. Practice the first paddling techniques on dry land, then head together to the entry point on the Iller.
Swimwear under the wetsuit, a change of clothes in the car for after the tour, waterproof sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap (to prevent loss). Sturdy footwear (old sneakers or water shoes — they will get wet!), no open sandals. Towel for the wind-down.
In the team rally, the fun factor is expanded by a competitive component: various stations along the river where teams compete against each other — paddling speed, target throwing, boat obstacle course. The team that coordinates best wins — and at the end, there is a small reward for the winners.
Canoe rafting on the Iller is a 2–3 hour summer experience for 6–200 people, from €59 p.p. — the team paddles themselves in an inflatable canoe, unlike classic rafting. Learn the art of boating, master rapids, optional team rally with a competitive character. Season April–October, meeting point at the ICO Outdoor Center directly on the Iller with showers, bar, and lounge for the wind-down. Also suitable for families.
Discover our complete outdoor module portfolio in the Allgäu — from whitewater and canyoning to igloo building. Each activity has its own character, consistent safety standards, and a clear business transfer. Perfect as a standalone event or as a building block in a multi-day programme.
The meeting point is at the ICO Outdoor Center in Blaichach (Im Wasen 16). We will organize necessary transfers with you (shuttle). For larger groups, we can also organize bus transfers upon request.
No — the art of inflatable canoeing is explained by the guide before the tour and briefly practiced on dry land. Being able to swim is a basic requirement. Minimum age: 6 years. Also suitable for families with children, then with calmer tour sections.
The tours take place in all weather conditions (exception: thunderstorms — safety is the priority). If it rains, you’ll get wet anyway; if it’s sunny, it’s perfect canoeing weather. In the event of high water, we change the route or postpone — we decide 24 hours before the tour.
Snacks and drinks are available at the bar in the ICO Outdoor Center (before and after the tour). For larger groups, we can organize a picnic or BBQ to conclude the tour upon request.
