of this activity

Meet at 9:30 am (or 11:30 am, 1:30 pm in the summer) at our private ground “Adventure Forest” (SEE THE ACCESS MAP) – our guides are there to welcome you.

They hand out the equipment and give a safety talk. You are now ready to embark on a discovery rafting trip that will take you from Castellane to our private beach “la Pinède” (8 km and 1h30 of navigation).

The first section is relatively easy; there is plenty of time to become acquainted with the navigation techniques: during the first hour, your guide will teach you all you need to know about the basics of rafting. Class II (easy) rapids are encountered, which allow for plenty of play on the river.

Your descent continues towards your last (but not least!) rapid, the “Barre St. Jean” a class III medium difficulty rapid, which requires more manoeuvering than the previous ones. Ten more minutes on calmer waters and “la Pinède” beach is in site.

The company bus is waiting for us to drive us back to “Adventure Forest”.
