Activity description

Share a thrilling adventure with your family or friends thanks to this rafting activity in the Verdon gorges from Castellane!

From the age of 6 in summer, come and enjoy a fun and sporting experience in the Verdon gorges! Enjoy the magnificent scenery as you explore the Verdon by raft in a team of 4 to 8 people. Accompanied by a state-qualified guide, you'll be in ideal conditions to discover this refreshing and sensational sport!

You will meet your guide at the base, where you will be equipped with a suitable wetsuit, life jacket and helmet. You will then go to the starting point of the rafting trip by minibus before being briefed on the activity. Then it will be time to get on board! Go for a discovery trip or a classic trip and enjoy rafting in the Verdon gorges! Thanks to the advice and guidance of your experienced guide, you will quickly learn to navigate and be able to enjoy the sensations and the scenery easily. At the end of the activity, the minibus will take you back to the base, where you can debrief with the instructor, return the equipment and, if you fancy it, have a drink with your group!

You will be rafting from Castellane to Rougon, along the first 21 kilometres of the Gorges. Castellane is a charming, picturesque village and the starting point for many rafting trips on the Verdon. This itinerary takes you through Europe's largest canyon, taking in the breathtaking scenery and turquoise waters for which the Verdon Gorge is famous!
