RAFTING

Rafting in the Gorges du Verdon

The Gorges du Verdon are often described as an extraordinary place… And why not discover them in complete safety aboard a raft?

Rafting is an inflatable boat that can accommodate up to 8 people plus an experienced guide. The boat is very stable and allows you to descend the rapids in complete safety. A guide from the Aqua Verdon team is always present at the back of the boat to accompany you and ensure your safety, but he needs his
crew to give speed to the rafting, it’s teamwork !

Thanks to the rafting, you can enjoy the magnificent landscapes offered by the Gorges du Verdon from the river.
On the emerald green river, you can admire the beauty of the landscape shaped by time, the Verdon being the largest canyon in Europe! You might even be lucky enough to watch the vultures soar above the Grand Canyon!

Refreshing, fun and a family activity that will delight both beginners and experienced people.

Accessible to everyone from 7 years old. Several routes are possible depending on your desires, your abilities and the water levels.

CANOË-KAYAK

Canoë-Kayak in the Gorges du Verdon

For a sporty discovery of the Verdon, you can choose canoeing or kayaking.

You are autonomous in an inflatable boat, either in a single-seater kayak or a two-seater canoe, which are perfectly adapted to the routes of the Gorges du Verdon.

The practice of canoeing in the Verdon is a sporting activity requiring a good physical condition of the participants. More spectacular and technical than the rafting, it is also more challenging while remaining a very friendly moment to share between thrill seekers.

Closer to the water and more playful, in this type of boat you will have better sensations in direct contact with water movements and rapids.

Canoe kayaking is practiced in the Verdon with a departure in Castellane and on the surrounding rivers.

After the equipment and a complete briefing you will be ready to face the river. Up to you !
