Tour programme- Preparation:We meet you
at our base in Méloans-Revel (free car park) 10 minutes before the tour starts. We will provide you with
recent professional equipment with a full wetsuit, neoprene socks, helmet and life jacket. Then, the small group will take the shuttle bus for about 10 minutes to get to the starting point of the activity. Your tour can then begin as soon as your water safety training is completed. Normally, each raft welcomes
between 4 and 7 people, depending on the water level.
- Tour: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.
