We had a very fun canyoning experience with our children, aged 10 and 13.
This was partly thanks to our guide, Guillaume. He provided good explanations, was calm, and showed genuine interest. It was a wonderful and fun experience navigating through a natural 'water playground' in this way. The explanation we received about the creation of this beautiful piece of nature was of absolute added value to us.
The slides, jumps, and abseiling were optional; if you are somewhat sporty and don't shy away from a small challenge, it is great fun to do. Highly recommended! 😄 Additionally, there was good and quick communication with the organization.

Amazing experience!!! The canyon itself was incredible, and the trip was a great blend of aqua hiking, jumping, sliding and abseiling! Guizmo was very reassuring and helpful when I was a bit tentative - would highly recommend this one for sure!!!
