Spend half a day with your family discovering the Gorges du Verdon on an aquatic hike from Castellane!

Unlike canyoning, water trekking in the Gorges du Verdon offers greater freedom of movement without the need for a rope or harness, making it ideal for youngsters as young as 7 or 12 depending on the course you choose! Followed by a qualified guide to ensure your safety, you will descend the course in 1.5 to 2 hours, taking in the magnificent scenery and the guide's knowledge of the flora, fauna and geology of this exceptional site.

In small groups of no more than 10 participants, you will set off on an aquatic hike in the Verdon Gorges, around 30 minutes by shuttle bus from Castellane. Once you have reached the canyon, the aim of the game will be to let yourself be guided by the direction of the current while having fun: swimming and floatting sessions, descents down slides and jumps (all of which can be bypassed) await you to add to the thrills of your aquatic hike in the Gorges du Verdon!

A fun experience, perfect for discovering white water before embarking on a real canyoning course, this aquatic hike in the Gorges du Verdon will delight everyone!

Our recent aquatic hiking experience in the Gorges du Verdon was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the adventure was thrilling and enlightening. The guides not only showed immense care for the environment but also shared an abundance of knowledge about the gorge, enhancing our appreciation for this natural wonder. All necessary equipment was provided, ensuring we were well-prepared for the challenges ahead. Our guide, Raphael, was extremely professional and his reassuring presence made my sister and me feel safe throughout the journey. His sense of humor and evident passion for both his job and the canyon itself added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Overall, this was an exhilarating and unique adventure, worth every dollar. The combination of physical activity, stunning scenery, and educational insights made for a truly memorable outing.

The activity was a great family experience with options for the more adventurous if they wanted to do some jumps and options not to if you were not comfortable with it.

Swimming and floating through beautiful nature. Exciting ride in white water. Spectacular jumps from big rock into the river. 5-6 meter jumps!

After the activity, my only criticism was for myself- I should have gotten the full day tour :-)
