🛶 Choose your adventure: raft or kayak
Rafting
Kayak
Rafting (Family Profile) : Stable and safe, ideal for a family adventure (children ages 6 and up).
Kayaking (Adventure Profile) : More sporty and immersive, perfect for adrenaline junkies (ages 11 and up). Unsinkable and easy to master.
*During periods of high water levels (spring or after heavy rain), the descent is done exclusively by raft.
Customization: Because we're not all in the same boat... We encourage you to mix the two types of boarding within the same group, so that everyone can have an experience tailored to their expectations and ambitions.
