Description

Experience the turquoise waters of the Verdon by rafting from Castellane. Choose between an 8 km discovery route and a 14 km classic descent, accessible to beginners from 6 years old.
Depart from Castellane to experience rafting on the turquoise waters of the Verdon, in the heart of spectacular landscapes.
After being greeted, get your gear and then meet your instructor for a safety briefing and instruction on basic rafting techniques. No prior experience is necessary: the activity is suitable for beginners and children aged 6 and over who can swim.
Then board with your crew and paddle through the rapids of the Verdon. Between calmer stretches and sections of whitewater, enjoy the river and the rocky landscapes surrounding it. Choose the experience that suits you from two routes.
Discovery Rafting – 8 km offers a shorter descent, particularly suitable for a first experience and for families wishing to discover the thrill of rafting.
Classic Rafting – 14 km offers a more complete descent to enjoy the Verdon for longer. Cover approximately 14 km and spend about 2.5 hours on the water, with more time to alternate between navigating, rapids, and fun moments.
Depending on the route chosen and the river conditions, your instructor may also offer you opportunities for bathing, swimming in the current, or jumping from the rocks. Jumps are always optional.
Whatever route you choose, enjoy a fun and accessible activity to discover the Verdon directly from its river.
