Give yourself a taste for adventure!
This rafting tour is ideal for families, because it is perfectly suited for the youngest, especially for children from 7 to 10 (if your children are older, then we recommend the classic tour, longer and with more thrills), but also for anyone who wishes to try this sport for the first time during a discovery-oriented tour. You will be between 4 and 8 participants. Your certified guide will accompany you on this exceptional adventure combining action and moments of contemplating the landscape.
Let yourself be tempted by one of the Verdon's flagship activities!
