Activity description

Looking for something to do with friends or family? Try rafting in the Gorges du Verdon for a fun time in good company!

Rafting is a recreational activity that can be enjoyed with family or friends in groups of 3 to 8 people, always guided by a professional. Aqua Bond Rafting invites you to join them in the Gorges du Verdon to try out this water sport on the Verdon. Named for its emerald green colour due to the presence of microscopic algae, the Verdon has carved out the magnificent gorges that surround it by flowing from its source in the Trois Evêchés massif.

For this rafting trip down the Gorges du Verdon, head for Castellane, where you'll meet the Aqua Bond Rafting team. Throughout your adventure, you'll be supervised by professional instructors with a passion for rafting. Their priority will be to ensure your safety while making sure you have a great time in the Verdon gorges.

The rafting trips on offer are family-friendly and accessible to anyone who can swim. Several packages are available, so you can choose the one that suits you best. You'll board a very stable inflatable boat, ideal for tackling the Verdon rapids as a team in complete safety. Once you're on the raft, get ready to paddle!

Don't wait any longer, book your rafting trip in the Verdon gorges from Castellane and enjoy a refreshing and sporting descent!

Très chouette activité dans les Gorges du Verdon, on découvre vraiment les paysages "canyon", on aperçoit des vautours... Et évidemment tout en profitant de sensations fortes avec évidemment le rafting mais aussi la possibilité de faire des sauts assez impressionnant ! Je recommande !

Merci à Christophe qui n'a pas hésité à s'arrêter un maximum pour nous permettre de nous baigner et de faire des sauts, quitte à aller aider certains qui avaient du mal dans les rapides. Il s'est beaucoup intéressé à chacun d'entre nous et nous a expliqué les techniques de conduite d'un raft ! Nous étions avec une famille danoise super sympa qui a également beaucoup apprécié ce moment. Merci Christophe !

Notre activité, qui était le rafting, est devenue le tubing suite aux sécheresses de l’été 2022. Nous avons découvert une nouvelle activité et nous ne regrettons aucunement, à refaire !

Très bonne activité à faire en famille, une belle nature avec de belles vues. Nous avons apprécié la découverte du rafting avec plusieurs exercices d'initiation, les sauts bien encadré donne un peu de piment à celui qui veut. Les moniteurs sont bon il vous mettent dans l'ambiance, sans oublier notre sécurité. Vraiment ravi. Petit bémol sur l'accueil arrivé sur le parking un peu stressante. Nous venions de faire 1h40 de route en serpentin, arrivé 30 minutes à l'avance. Vite il faut serrer les voitures les une contre les autres à peine le temps de s'habiller ...
