Packrafting in the canyon of the Verdon,
Sportive tour

The sportive packrafting inside the canyon du Verdon is a really expedition. We go inside a remote place, far away from the civilisation. There is just one entry and one exit, it means, we have to finish this trip before the night! At the end of the canyon, we will reach the lake Sainte Croix. It's a great trip but it's an obligation to get experience with wild water kayaking.
