Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet directly at our base at the time indicated on your booking. A large car park is at your disposal on site. There, you will be introduced to your instructor who will provide you with your equipment and talk to you about what awaits you. Then we take the shuttle, heading 10km upstream from the base. After a short briefing on safety rules, it's time to get into the water.
- Tour:
The descent is done in two parts: in the morning, you cover the first 10km to the base, taking advantage of the succession of rapids under the vigilant supervision of your instructor. Once at the base, you will enjoy a well-deserved picnic, in the shade. In the afternoon, you take your kayak back and start directly from the base for the remaining 10km: with your training in the morning, the new rapids will be a piece of cake! Your instructor will be at your side again to ensure your safety and that everything goes smoothly. While paddling, do not miss enjoying the unique setting in which you will find yourself, with the characteristic landscapes of the Alpes-Maritimes.
- Arrival:
The arrival is 10km downstream of the base. There, a shuttle awaits you to take you back to the base where you can find your car. That's the end of an action-packed day you'll remember for a long time!
