Details

Here is a way to discover the Verdon in a fun and aquatic way! This river trekking tour at the Pont de Tusset is particularly suitable for young children, as the rapids encountered are of low and progressive difficulty. Your little ones have fun while swimming in large water basins, crossing small rapids and doing a few optional jumps. But also the adults get their money's worth: They can jump from cliffs up to 7m! Expect a wonderful view on one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the gorges and on the entrance to the Grand Canyon of Verdon. Unlike canyoning, a river trekking descent does not include any abseiling passage.
Tour programme We meet at our base in Castellane, where you will be equipped. Then you will receive a briefing by your guide. He gives you information about your safety and the characteristics of the course. Now that you are ready to challenge the white water, we take a minibus that takes us to the activity (25min). From there, we walk another 15min to get to the start. The course is located at the end of the Gorges du Verdon, where rapids and large water basins alternate. After our tour, you will be transported back to our base.

At the end of August this year we went to the Verdon Gorge with a raft session. It was a great adventure for all of us. Our guide took a lot of time for us, explained everything really well and prepared us well for the tour. In between we also got a bit of information about the flora and fauna, which I personally really liked. My girls (13, 11 and 8 years old) all got their money's worth. I can highly recommend the program for families. It was an unforgettable day.

Nice, fun, safe for the children but also challenging for who is seeking for a little adrenaline.

Florian was a very pleasant guide and had many interesting things to say about the region. He was also very sweet and helpful to the children. We had a fantastic experience.
