Tour programme
We meet at the base 15 minutes before the booked time. After receiving the equipment you can put it on in our changing rooms. When you are ready, we will take you by bus to the starting point where we will teach you to paddle and give you some instructions on the path and safety. The tour is simple, so we'll approach the rapids carefully. After approximately 1h15min on the river, you will arrive at the base directly on the rafts.
