Details
If you are looking for a bigger adrenaline rush, then a kayak tour on the Durance river is the perfect option. You'll be closer to the waves and will need to rely on your agility and composure to control your boat. Don't worry: a state-certified instructor always paddles nearby. Fun, yes, but in complete safety!
Tour programme- Preparation:
We recommend meeting at our base in Embrun 15 min before the start of the activity, at which time we will drive with our transfer bus to the start of your ride. A quick introduction session by your guide will allow you to know the safety rules and correct paddling technique.
- Tour:
During your 2-hour trip, this inflatable single-seat boat will provide the perfect opportunity for more sensations on the water for all levels. It is stable and has an automatic water-draining system. You can more easily navigate to the areas of your choosing, and it is easy to get back on it should you tip over. The navigation's highlight, the renowned Rabioux wave (class IV) will be followed by the rest of the gentle Durance river (class II/III), made more eventful thanks to your craft.
- Return:
After the tour is over, you will be driven back to the meeting point with the transfer bus and will be able to enjoy an optional BBQ.
