Details
Come to challenge the Durance River closer to the waves with our hydrospeed tour. This activity is perfect for being in full control of your own craft. With hydrospeed or white water swimming, you will experience more thrills on the river in complete safety, thanks to our state-certified instructor always at your side.
Tour programme- Preparation:
As you arrive at our base in Embrun 15 min in advance, you will be able to suit up and then get ready during your transfer in our private bus to the starting point. A quick introduction session by your guide will allow you to know the safety rules of your craft and how to decide on your way to fun navigation. Note that the instructor will paddle next to you on his own craft.
- Tour:
Then, spending 2hrs on water on this unsinkable floater will get you right in the waves. You will have full control of your navigation and for example, take on more fully the famous Rabioux wave (class IV) and to alternate sightseeing with gentle waves on the Durance river (class II/III).
- 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 with your friends.
