The family floating tour
The grand Canyon du Verdon is known to be an extraordinary place ... Why don't you try to discover it during a floating tour ?
​
The floating is a mix between hiking, swimming in the rapids (lay down on your back, feet first) and jumping (not an obligation to jump). It's like canyoning without the use of rope.
The family floating tour is dedicated to the family with young child (from 7 to 12 y.o). It's 1h30 of actvity in the water, we swim in small rapids, jump from the cliffs (50cm to 7meters for the adults).
We discover together the most beautiful part of the Gorges du Verdon. We swim until the place called point sublime, the entrance of the Grand Canyon. For this adventure, we start at the place called Pont de Tusset. We start it with a short walk (15min) to arrive at the river. Then we will in the river for 1h30. At the end, we have a short walk to exit the canyon (10min).
This tour is leading by a professional guide with french certification. He will be with you to explain you the activity and show you the Secret of the Verdon !
