Rafting in Castellane - Formula Discovery

Ideal 'trip for families and groups with children. But not only ...

Departing from Castellane, you will spend 1h30 on the water, and navigate for approx. 8km.

The advantage of this short trip is that we will put all our energy into it, so there is no time to get bored.

After a quick briefing session with the guide, who will equipe with a wetsuit, helmet and lifejacket, it’s time to get on the water !

You will learn how to paddle, i.e. using the whole body with fast and powerful movements. It is the top of the body that does most of the work and all this power needs to be transferred to the raft with the help of the legs and feet, which are strapped in.

The rafting trip starts off with a wonderfull view of the village and Roc de Castellane, followed by an easy river section where you’ll pick up some rafting and safety tips, as well as a few cheeky surprises from the guides...

Then the river narrows before arriving at the St Jean rapid: one of the biggest rapids in the Verdon. It is a geological wonder that needs to be tackled at full speed… with adrenaline pumping.

A few minutes later you’ll arrive at Chasteuil beach, where the river starts to calm down.

This trip can also be enjoyed by those with reduced mobility.
