Who is the full day for?
- La Grande Aventure (24 km) suits families with children already at ease on the water, and casual paddlers who want to see the whole gorges.
- La Super Aventure (31 km) is for strong, sporty paddlers: it is not advised for beginners.
- For a first time in a canoe or with young children, it is better to go for a half-day trip.
Full day or half day?
The half-day is enough to see the finest passages at the start of the gorges, Pont d'Arc included. The full day crosses the entire canyon down to Sauze and the nature reserve: more time on the water, a picnic on a beach and the feeling of having done the real descent. To compare, see our half-day trips and all of our canoe trips.
