Venture into the Tarn Gorges with our 14 km kayak and canoe hire on the Tarn river. With friends or family, spend a day in the heart of nature, in a unique green setting. You will navigate the famous Pas de Soucy and cross many rapids, which will make your descent more fun. During the whole day, you can paddle at your own pace and stop wherever you want, as you have the possibility to keep the canoe all day.
Tour programme- Preparation:The meeting point is
at our base in Mostuéjouls, 20 minutes before the booked time (in April and May, we meet at the B&B Le Soleilo, in the centre of the village). We will drive you to the starting point of our course at Les Vignes, where your equipment will be provided (life jacket, waterproof container, canoe and paddle). You will then be given a short introduction on how to use your equipment.
- Tour:On board your canoe, you will first pass one of the most famous natural curiosities of the Tarn: the
Pas de Soucy landslide. After passing through the
"vineyard slide", you will be slightly splashed by numerous rapids, including the one in the
hamlet of La Sablière. Finally, you will finish your journey by passing under the
Rozier Bridge, located not far from our base. Throughout the adventure, you can stop on one of the river's beaches for a swim or a picnic in a wild setting.
- Return:At the end of the tour, you will return to the base, where your vehicle is waiting for you.
