Overview

Also known as a hot dog, the Canoes or Kayaks (inflatable self-draining) of one or two people allow you to go down the river by controlling your boat yourself.

After a short introduction to maneuvering techniques and safety instructions, you will choose a single or double paddle drive.

You will sit comfortably in your boat that you will feel stable and secure and at the same time very manageable.

The goal: follow your instructor who guides you with his own boat, slalom between the rocks, choose the deepest currents so as not to run aground and above all pass where the waves are highest!

And in case of desalting you will quickly get back into the boat!

A super adventure more committed than the raft for those who want to live the river more independently. All your paddles for a course adapted to the level of each.
