Who is the half-day for?
- Families with children: calm routes, with slides and beaches for breaks.
- Beginners: no experience needed, a briefing is given before you set off.
- Anyone short on time: discover the gorges in just a few hours.
Travelling with young children? The Mini Aventure Toboggan (5 km, no rapids) is made for them.
Why choose the half-day?
- Paddling under the Pont d'Arc is included on La Petite Aventure and L'Aventure Signature.
- You keep time for swimming, a picnic or another activity in the afternoon.
- A lighter budget than a full day, from €19.
Half-day or full day?
The half-day is enough to see the finest passages at the start of the gorges, Pont d'Arc included. If you want to cross the gorges all the way to Sauze and live the full adventure, go for the full-day trip (24 km).
