How to choose
Four distinct offers now cover the Mijares River in Montanejos with prices starting at 39.2 € and peaking at 45 €. Somos Aventura charges 40 € for a 3h session rated "Everybody welcome", making it the right entry point if your group includes first-timers or younger paddlers. Máxima Aventura runs a 4h excursion for 45 € and lists "Occasionally sporty" as the physical level, which means stronger currents and more demanding rapids are part of the program. The extra 5 € buys you an extra hour on the water and a step up in intensity. Máxima Aventura also adds French to its language roster, useful for mixed international groups. If the goal is maximum time on the Mijares with a higher adrenaline ceiling, pick the 4h option from Máxima Aventura.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment on the Mijares River?
The Mijares cuts through a limestone gorge near Montanejos, and the rapid sections hit hardest mid-run when the canyon narrows. The 4h tour with Máxima Aventura keeps you in the gorge longer, so you hit those sections with more exposure.
Do you need rafting experience to join?
The Somos Aventura tour explicitly welcomes everybody, so zero experience is fine. The Máxima Aventura tour asks for occasional physical effort, meaning basic fitness helps but no prior rafting is required.
Is the Mijares River suitable for kids?
The 3h Somos Aventura session is rated for everyone, which typically includes children with a minimum age set by the operator. Contact Somos Aventura directly to confirm the exact minimum age before booking.
When is the river at its best for rafting?
Season runs from May through September. Water levels are highest in late spring after snowmelt, which pushes the rapids harder. Summer sessions are warmer and busier, so book ahead for July and August.
What happens if the water level is too low?
Low water in late summer can reduce rapid intensity on the Mijares. Both operators monitor conditions and will reschedule or adapt the route. Confirm current river status directly with your operator a few days before your date.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear a swimsuit under your wetsuit and bring water shoes or old trainers with a secure sole. Both tours supply helmets and life jackets, but the 4h "Occasionally sporty" session with Máxima Aventura warrants secure footwear that won't come off in fast water.
