Details
If you live by the motto "All or nothing", this rafting tour is for you!
We visit the entire section of the Verdon which is navigable by boat, up to the entrance of the gorge. You will enjoy breathtaking sceneries - not only of the rapids for which the river is famous, but also of the surrounding peaks, the ramparts and fortifications of Castellane and the fauna and flora of Verdon (especially the vultures).
We put an experienced guide at your side who is happy to give you advice on rafting and the whole Verdon region!

- Preparation:
We meet at our base in Castellane, where you will be equipped. Then you will receive a briefing by your guide, during which you should listen attentively. He gives you instructions on how to handle the paddle, information regarding your safety, and he explains the characteristics of the course. Now that you are ready to challenge the whitewater, you take a bus that brings you to the starting point.
- Tour:
During the tour we cross rapids, swim down rapids, jump off rocks and discover the geology of the Verdon.
