Details
Suitable for everyone, the 4km kayak & canoe hire is a must-do activity to enjoy with your children! This route will provide you with fun moments, navigating on calm and abundant waters without the risk of capsizing, while relishing the wild setting of the Hérault gorges. Keep your eyes wide open to witness the distinctive and breathtaking landscapes along this river. Come and spend an amazing day with us, sharing moments of togetherness with family or friends!Tour programmePreparation:
The meeting point is directly at our base, 15 minutes before the departure, not far from the starting point of the circuit, where your equipment will be provided (life jacket, waterproof canoe and paddle). Then, a short initiation on the use of your equipment will be given to you.
Tour:
Once your canoe is in the water, it is time to paddle! As the water is very calm, it is the perfect opportunity to share a bonding moment with your little ones, surrounded by the impressive rock formations of the Gorges de l'Hérault. Additionally, if it is too hot, you will be able to stop at any time, and bathe in the clean waters to refresh yourself.
Return:
Once you reach the end of the descent, you will arrive directly to the base, where you can debrief about your experience with the whole family! Tour facts

Very friendly welcome on site.
Kayak quite correct for use on the river section.
It is a very cool spot, no major difficulty, the current is present but practically non-existent, we go up the Hérault without any difficulty at this place, in short ideal for a very tchild outing with the family.
Little tip, do like us, leave at 10am and you will not have anyone in the gorges ... when I say no one, it is not an expression, we went for a family walk without seeing other kayaks before 11:15am!
You leave Las playa by kayak and you come back there, private parking on site.
Many spots where you can stop to trampette.
In short a great activity, I highly recommend it.
