32km Kayak & Canoe Hire in Ardèche - 2 days with bivouac

Enjoy a stay in the heart of nature, with our 32 km canoeing trip in Ardèche. All nature lovers and adventurers will be enchanted by this two-day tour, which offers you the possibility to sleep in a bivouac and spend a memorable evening in the heart of the Ardèche Gorges. Thanks to these two days, you will be able to paddle quietly, and thus, take the time to admire the fauna and the flora: with a little luck, you may see wild goats or the majestic Bonelli's eagle.
