This package is spread over two days, allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of a river trip at your own pace.

Trip Schedule

Day 1:

You will begin your trip directly from our base; you will complete the first 8 kilometers, which requires 1 hour 20 minutes of navigation, and you will descend this distance in 3-4 hours.

On this route, you will discover the beginnings of the Ardèche Gorges canyon with a succession of flat sections and crossing small rapids. You will pass under the famous Pont d'Arc.

You will be able to make the most of swimming, jumping, strolling on the beaches, having a picnic, and discovering all the secrets hidden along the river.

You will be picked up by one of our minibuses at a pre-arranged time, which will take you back to our base.

Day 2:

Around 9:00 a.m., we'll bring you back to your boats to begin the second part of the 24-kilometer descent.

On this route, which requires approximately 4.5 hours of navigation, you'll all cross the canyon of the nature reserve to Saint Martin d'Ardèche, a succession of flat sections and small rapids.

You'll discover extraordinary flora and fauna, the very unique geological formation carved out by the river over the millennia, and you'll walk in the footsteps of the Aurignacians.

Peregrine falcons, Bonelli's eagles, Egyptian vultures, beavers, cicadas, wild goats, grey herons... these are all species you might encounter as you meander between the sky and the cliffs.

You'll be picked up by one of our minibuses at the bottom of the gorges between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., which will take you back to our canoe base in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc.

You can enjoy our hot showers and relax on our terrace while looking at photos of the descent before hitting the road again.

For your overnight stay, we can recommend various partners; please contact us.
