The 7 km Mini-Adventure with an instructor
The “mini-adventure” will take you on an unforgettable trip at the beginning of the Ardèche Gorge. This guided 7 km trip, with an experienced canoe instructor, offers you a different and safe way to access the river. Discover the beautiful places in a canoe/kayak and admire the majestic Pont d’Arc and the landscape that surrounds it.
The minimum age for this activity is 4 years: the little ones can ride directly in the instructor’s boat. To ensure the safety and balance of the group, the instructor decides on the composition of the group and which children will ride in his boat. Every detail is taken into account to give you an unforgettable adventure.
A group of a maximum of 16 people (or 10 boats) can set off in the morning or late afternoon when, at times, the light flatters the landscape even more. A real adventure with family or friends, in complete peace and quiet.
Important: All minors taking part in this activity must be accompanied by a parent or an adult.
The instructor cannot take children without a parent or responsible adult.
