La balade à duré à peu près 2h , on a fait une descente de 10 km du Var avec une petite pause baignade et glissade. C'était très amusant. Concernant les équipements tout était neuf et sécurisant. L'instructeur Pascal était très souriant, on sent qu'il est passionné par ce qu'il fait. C'est une personne très agréable. Pour une première expérience de notre part il a su bien nous expliquer comment tout cela fonctionnait et nous rassurer. Il nous a accompagné durant toute la descente et nous a montré les plus beaux endroits.
