Give yourself a taste for adventure!
This rafting tour is ideal for families, because it is perfectly suited for the youngest, especially for children from 7 to 10 (if your children are older, then we recommend the classic tour, longer and with more thrills), but also for anyone who wishes to try this sport for the first time during a discovery-oriented tour. You will be between 4 and 8 participants. Your certified guide will accompany you on this exceptional adventure combining action and moments of contemplating the landscape.
Let yourself be tempted by one of the Verdon's flagship activities!

An excellent first experience with Antoine, our guide for the day, who welcomed us and provided all the necessary safety information before we entered the water. Patient and patient, he revisited any situations that weren't going well to give us clearer explanations. At times, he gave us the opportunity to experience things firsthand by going into the water or jumping off a rock. An excellent guide and a great joker too!

We made 2 trips during our week visiting Haute-Provence. Both were slightly different itineraries and with different guides but both brought loads of smiles as well as a better understanding of the local geography and wildlife. All 12 of us had a wonderful time in the Verdon Gorges. Thanks Yeti!
