All our rafting packages

Rafting in spring (April to end of June):

Rafting in summer (late June to early October):

Rafting = two ways of sailing

Rafting with a guide in the boat.
Steered by a monitor, the boat will always pass the right place!
The 4 to 10-seater raft is the safest boat, accessible to everyone as long as they can swim.

NB: The choice between a boat with a guide or a boat that you will steer yourself can be made at the time of registration or on the spot, we will advise you.

In a 3-6 person mini-raft or a 2 person kayak-raft.

You're the pilot! You'll need to learn how to manoeuvre the boat and read the river to choose the right course through the rapids! You don't need to be a champion - inflatable boats are much more stable and easier to handle than traditional kayaks.

As soon as the river has reached its low water level, these are the most popular boats for teenagers and adults. The instructor is always present at your side, in his own boat, to ensure safety and to guide you.

NB: The choice between a boat with a guide or a boat that you will steer yourself can be made at the time of registration or on the spot, we will advise you.
