Description
Embark on a canoeing or kayaking adventure designed for families and groups who want to experience passing under the famous Pont d'Arc, with a more athletic route than the mini-descent. Easy and accessible, this route is perfect for thrill seekers, and it's more fun with its slides designed to cross the dikes by canoe.
The departure is from Ruoms for a gradual and enjoyable descent, alternating between small, fun rapids, peaceful areas conducive to relaxation, and the unmissable passage under the majestic Pont d'Arc. An exceptional natural setting to discover in complete tranquility.
Your outing includes all the necessary gear (1-, 2-, or 3-seater boat depending on your choice, paddles, personal flotation devices, 55L container), as well as a briefing before departure to ensure you navigate safely.
Go at your own pace: take a break for a swim, sit down for a picnic by the water, or simply take the time to admire the cliffs and the surrounding nature.
At Canoes Service, we offer you the option to park at the start of the route so you are free to make the most of your day on the water.
