Tour programme- Preparation:
Please meet us at our base in Méloans-Revel (free parking) 10 minutes before the start of the trip. We will provide you with modern, professional equipment, including a full-body wetsuit, neoprene booties, a helmet and a life jacket. The small group will then take the shuttle for a 10-minute drive to the starting point. Your trip can then begin as soon as your water safety briefing is complete. Generally speaking, each raft accommodates between 4 and 8 people, depending on the water level.

The qualified guide, on board with you, will help you to progress between the rapids formed by the slopes of the mountains and the quieter sections. You will be able to enjoy during 1.5-hour of navigation the unusual landscapes surrounding you. You will even have the opportunity to make a 360-degree turn with your boat!
- Return:
Once the tour is over, the shuttle will take you back to the base where you will find changing rooms, hot showers, a sauna and free activities (bowling, Mölkky, slacklines) if you wish to continue this incredible day! You will also be able to admire the green nature that surrounds you to have a picnic in the wooded park or take advantage of the snack bar and the open refreshment bar.
