You must not have any medical contraindications to rafting.

Special terms

It is strongly recommended that you do not take any personal items such as jewellery, watches or wallet with you.

This activity depends on the weather and the EDF dam. If the planned water activity is not possible, Action Aventure will offer you an alternative water activity (rafting, canoe rafting or water trekking). You will not be able to refuse the replacement activity unless the reason is disability or some other factor that could prevent the activity from being changed.

You can obtain photos of your rafting trip from our partner photographer: Verdon photo.

Adrenalin-pumping itineraries are available in spring and September.
