An inflatable kayak to paddle autonomously !

BOOK ON LINE

Single-person inflatable craft, the air-boat is paddled independently with a double-bladed paddle. Its inflated structure and self-draining bottom give it stability and tolerance, allowing novices to tackle whitewater without technical skill.

A strap system allows the paddler to be comfortably secured while sitting on their craft, without the constraints of being seated inside as is the case with a traditional kayak.

This boat brings the gliding sensations of whitewater kayaking, with fantastic playboating possibilities, without the disadvantages associated with flipping a rigid kayak. With an air-boat, if you capsize, you simply get back in the boat, and you're off again!

The guides accompany them in their own boats and indicate the way, while giving the first tips on how to surf the Verdon waves.

Period of validity

From May until October

From April until October

The flow of the Middle-Verdon is dam-controled.

During Spring (from April until June)the water releases occur on a regular basis, thanks to the thawing of the snow which feeds the Castillon Lake above the dam, upstream from Castellane. In the event that water releases are temporarily interrupted, we suggest riding the Verdon upstream from Castellane on the Upper-Verdon (the Fontgaillarde Gorges). This natural flow section is fed by the thawing of the snow in the spring. The trips on the Upper Verdon take place about 30 mn. away from Castellane.

During Summer (July and August) the water releases are only planned on specific days (usually on Tuesdays and Fridays).

During Autumn (starting mid-September), the water releases are regular again and make the Middle-Verdon trips possible every day again.

To know the water release forecasts for the Middle Verdon and the flows of the Upper Verdon, dam water release schedule.
