Go for a swim and discover the mystical gorges of the grand canyon of the Verdon. Through our water hike with Ride The Verdon, you will experience the floating experience (letting yourself be carried away by the current), as well as natural and optional plunges (up to 10 meters high).
Choose one of our two water-trekking experiences, either the “Classic” or the “Discovery” below.
The course
Classic
80€/pers.
The most beautiful way to visit the grand canyon is the Verdon aquatic hike! With our “Classic” formula, you will explore the deepest parts of the emerald-colored watercourse.
As the icing on the cake of this magnificent day, you will take a swim in the dark rooms of “l'Imbut” — an incredible experience where you will follow the river's whimsical, winding path winding between giant boulders. The rapids of the Estelier will lead you to the narrow passage of the “Styx”, passing by the “Maugué”, to reach the final part of the chaos of the “Imbut”. The most daring will find their happiness there to get laid, with the highest jumps of the course!
To be able to start the adventure, it is imperative to:
- know how to swim

Discovery

The Water Hiking “Discovery” is the best way to discover the canyon in half a day. Accompanied by a guide from Ride The Verdon, you will take a swim-only route to enjoy a UNIQUE viewpoint from the entrance of the Verdon Gorge.
The “Discovery” route is less physical than the “Classic” one and takes less time, ideal for a family outing with young children.
The start of the water hike will be at the Pont de Tusset. During the descent, you will enjoy numerous floating on large areas of calm water. You will also taste the pleasure of white water thanks to the “Solitaire” rapids, where you will be able to initiate yourself to more sensations and some natural dives.
To be able to start the adventure, it is imperative to:
- know how to swim
- be at least 6 years old
- be in good physical shape
