Details
The Pont de Tusset section welcomes you for a magical half-day trip in the Gorges du Verdon. On the program, swimming in white water with a few optional jumps! Accessible from the age of 8, this tour focuses on the fun aspect of aqua hiking but does not lack grandiose landscapes with emerald waters. Along the way, a certified instructor will ensure your safety so that you can have fun without danger. You will end the activity with a breathtaking view: the entrance to the Grand Canyon du Verdon.

We welcome you to our store at the scheduled time (free parking available in Castellane) and then take you to our base a few metres away by foot. There, you will meet your guide, receive your equipment and leave your belongings safely.

A shuttle will then drop you off at the activity site (20 min). After a 10-minute walk to the river, you can jump into the water. No abseiling passages for this activity as we swim and float in the riverbed. Several jumps are offered but none are mandatory.
