Guiding languages

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You don't need to know how to swim, but you must be able to remain calm in the water to participate in the activity. If you are afraid of water and don't know how to swim, you will have to take a swimming test to confirm that you can remain calm in the water. No refunds will be given if you do not pass the swimming test.

We suggest you bring a swimsuit, beach towel, sunscreen, shower products, a change of clothes, and sunglasses straps if necessary (towels, sunscreen, and sunglasses straps are available for purchase on site if needed).

Depending on the water level, a maximum of 5 to 8 people can be grouped together in the same boat. If there are fewer than 8 of you, you may be paired with another booking in your boat. If there are 10 or more of you, you will be divided into more than one boat. Rest assured that we will do our best to divide everyone up as evenly as possible.
When you see the river, you are less than 1 km away. We are identified by signs on both sides of the road and by a banner displayed on our terrace saying "RAFTING." You can enter through the footbridge at the back of the building, go up the stairs, and report to the reception desk on your right. Carpooling is strongly recommended. We ask that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the descent so that we can start on time.
