It is then time to climb aboard on the prepared stable and secured raft. The raft is an inflatable boat which is extremely resistant, welcoming 4 to 8 passengers.
The guide will lead the raft while its passengers introduce speed in order to cross the waters rapids. Within each rapids, the waters waves may soak a passenger or two... (or even all, regarding the chosen route !!).
White Water Rafting Verdon Gorges
Most of our meeting points for this activity are the entrance of the Verdon Gorge, in Castellane. This city is located on the southern alps, close to the french riviera.
The Verdon is not an "extreme" river but it does offer sensations which are to be shared as a group in a raft.
White water Rafting along the Verdon also offers the occasion to discover the river from its interior. Between each rapid, one can take their time to admire the beauty of the interior decor which the guide can also inform you on.
Some routes will be more suitable for families and school groups whereas some are more suited for the more athletic kind.
Between Castellane and the entrance of the Verdon Grand Canyon, at level of "Point Sublime", 22 kilometers of river are navigable.
We offer a number of different circuits each offering a different level of difficulty.
During spring and autumn, the Verdon is somewhat more sportive. This is time more ideal for certain groups of friends, newly weds arriving in a state of celebratory training.
Reservation is necessary, such that your arrival must be prepared for. The only thing we would like to ask you to do is to bring your swimwear and a pair of sport shoes.
