How it works

Your day, in three parts

1

At the base

Registration, life jackets, paddles, a dry barrel if you hire one, and a five-minute briefing. Free parking.

Allow 15 to 30 minutes
2

The minibus

It takes you to the starting point. The scenery you see through the window is what you will paddle back down.

10 to 30 minutes depending on the route
3

The descent

At your own pace, with stops on the beaches to swim or picnic. You arrive straight back at the base, at your car.

From 1h30 to a full day

Allow 3 to 4 hours in total, transport and briefing included, for a route advertised as two hours on the water.

Frequently asked

Before you book

Do I need to be able to swim?
Yes, it is mandatory. The life jacket keeps you afloat and our routes are calm, with no rapids.
From what age?
From age 5, accompanied by an adult. For the youngest, the 7 km route is ideal: a leisurely hour and a half.
What if we capsize?
It is part of the adventure. The water is shallow, keep your life jacket on and climb back in calmly. We explain everything at the briefing.
What should we bring?
Swimsuit, closed shoes or water shoes, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses on a strap, water, and a picnic if the route is long.
How does cancellation work?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before, full refund. Less than 48 hours: rescheduling subject to availability. Weather closure: rescheduling or refund, always.
