Details
This classic rafting tour is for all those who do not get enough of the breathtaking view of the Verdon cliffs and wish to combine it with a sporting activity.
From the start, we have a superb view over Castellane and its fortifications. Along the route, rapids alternate with calmer sections. You are accompanied by a professional guide who gives you information, and of course he makes you paddle when we need speed. Halfway along the route we cross the famous rapids "Barre Saint Jean", and along the second part, we are really in the middle of the cliffs.
Enjoy this extraordinary experience with friends or family!

Well organized, large supply of equipment and a mega guide in Nathan who not only led us safely and confidently through the gorge, but was also able to give us a lot of information about the gorge and the area. An unforgettable experience for our group of 6

I had booked through Yeti from Germany beforehand and was curious to see whether everything would work. When I arrived with my friends, I just had to say my name and all the formalities on site were done - great! Then we were equipped with neoprene suits, helmets and life jackets - more safety is hardly possible. Our English speaking guide was very friendly and amusing and gave us an excellent introduction to all activities. Our rafting tour was a really great experience, where you never had the feeling of being in any danger, which was certainly also due to our, as I said, great guide. Rafting on the Verdon is highly recommended!
