Our approach

An experience, not just a paddle

We take only 6 kayaks per trip so we can offer a quality experience.

With us, it's not just a kayak trip: we take the time to get comfortable in the boat, to discover it together and learn the techniques to manoeuvre. We take our time on the water — even lunch with our feet in the river.

Bring your best picnic: salad, sandwich, whatever you fancy for the midday break. The trip lasts 4 hours and we really take our time to enjoy it fully.

Their experience

Reviews

"Christophe was simply exceptional from start to finish! His kindness, humour, professionalism and perfect knowledge of the river made for an experience that was funny, intense and reassuring all at once."

— Camille

"Christophe takes you into the wild with passion. As he enthusiastically tells his stories, I learn to let myself go with the current. An unforgettable experience. In the kayak I discover the value of teamwork: it creates bonds and above all a great deal of joy along the way."

— Frauke

"The first time I went kayaking with Christophe, I was very nervous. Christophe explained everything well and reassured me. Once on the river, we received clear instructions. I no longer found it scary — it was amazing!"
