With the full descent of the Verdon river, the adventure is ready for you!
Rafting is one of the Verdon's main activities and we invite you to embark on the most beautiful of our white water descents with us. There will be rapids during which we go faster, but also calmer sections during which you can enjoy the wonderful landscapes of the gorges and its emerald waters. During the whole descent, your certified instructor will ensure your safety. And at the end of this complete tour, a magnificent spectacle awaits you: We will enter the Grand Canyon of Verdon!
Tour programme- Preparation:
We welcome you to our store at the scheduled time (free parking available in Castellane). Then, we take you to our base near the water. There, you will meet your guide, receive your equipment, leave your belongings safely, and then start directly the activity.
- Tour:
You will board the raft in Castellane, a few metres from our base. We will then paddle through the area before the Verdon canyon.
- Return:
Important: At the end of the descent, we deflate the boat and carry it up to the shuttle bus that takes us back to the base where you can rinse off.
