They hand out the equipment and give a safety talk. You are now ready to embark on a discovery rafting trip that will take you from Castellane to our private beach “la Pinède” (8 km and 1h30 of navigation).
The first section is relatively easy; there is plenty of time to become acquainted with the navigation techniques: during the first hour, your guide will teach you all you need to know about the basics of rafting. Class II (easy) rapids are encountered, which allow for plenty of play on the river.
Once this rapid has been navigated, we will rejoin the Pinède beach, the finishing point of this descent.
After getting de-kitted, we will return to our base «Adventure Forest» by bus.
Afternoon : FOREST HIGH ROPE COURSE
