Morning
DAYS OF WATER RELEASE : RAFTING
Meet at 9:30 AM at our «Adventure Forest» base (See access map)
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.
DAYS WITHOUT WATER RELEASE : WATER RAMBLING
Meet at 9 AM at our «Adventure Forest» base near CastellaneSee access map) where your ABOARD Rafting guides will be waiting. From there, we will transport you by ABOARD Rafting minibus to Samson corridor (20 min. drive).
Equiped with a wetsuit, a helmet and a life jacket, you let the current carry you gently along the river and take you to discover the Verdon’s best-kept mineral secrets. A “water ramble” not only implies floating, but also jumping and swimming in clear water, or walking around rapids, fallen trees or any obstacle we might encounter.
Equipped with a wetsuit, helmet, and life jacket, we let ourselves be carried by the current, floating and swimming. We return to the banks each time it is necessary to walk around an obstacle (obstructed rapids, siphons).
We jump, swim or walk in the clear water so as not to miss any of the magnificent scenery that unfolds before our eyes.
This is undoubtedly the most appropriate technique for discovering the hidden natural beauties at the bottom of the Verdon Gorge. We find the Belvédère du Couloir Samson after about 20 minutes of walking.
