Our activity Aqua Trekking Verdon Gorges

 

The Aqua Trekking Verdon Gorges is accompanied by a state-certified guide. He will equip you, give you the necessary instructions and ensure your safety during the activity.

Also known as Aqua Trekking and Aqua-Rando, this is the only activity that allows you to explore the Grand Canyon du Verdon.

Equipped with a neoprene suit, a helmet and a life jacket, you are your own boat and move along the rapids in very low water flow.

The numerous jumps will bring a good dose of adrenaline to the most daring. For the others, no problem, jumps are never mandatory.

Aqua Trekking Verdon Gorges and the natural environment

We are concerned about the environment and each year we follow all the measures to minimize our impact in the Verdon Natural Park.
Before starting the adventure, our guide will instruct you on the ways to minimize your impact in your surroundings, like not stepping on the bottom of the river and swimming as much as possible to avoid contact with the benthic zone. They will also inform you of the areas where it is prohibited to step on where numerous invertebrates live.
A new world will open in front of your eyes!
