Canoeing kayak

An activity not to be missed in the region of the Tarn Gorges, accessible to anyone who knows how to swim. We provide you with 2-seat canoes, one-seat Frenzies or, for the more adventurous, kayaks.

Day trips, we have different parcours :

Family trips : the advantage of it is that you arrive directly at our base, no appointment with a driver, you arrive when ever you want. You can enjoy the river until 6.30pm. Starts from 5 years old.
– Peyrelade-Aguessac 7 km : easy and short (about 2hrs).
– Le Rozier-Aguessac 14 km : easy and longer (about 4hours)

Both are full of Beavers’houses, birds as Vultures, herons, kingfishers…

Sportive trips : Better to have ever done some canoe before or just get ready to fall in the water. Starts from 7 years old.
– Les Vignes-Le Rozier 11 km : the short rough part of the river. you can discover some of the narrow part of the Tarn Gorges, a beautiful cave, cliffs full of vultures… (about 2.30hrs)
– Les Vignes-Peyrelade (17 km) or Les Vignes-Aguessac (24km) : If you feel that you need to spend more energy, a full day trip on the river is perfect for you.it’s about 5 to 7hours paddling down the river.

Bring a Pic-Nic, a book and a towel, smell and listen the nature, take your time, you are in Aveyron.

River days Hike : Once again, by a canoe or Mambo kayak, you’ll have more time to explore. You can start from upper in the Gorge and cruise down from two to 7 days to enjoy an in-depth discovery of the Tarn Gorges classified site.

Rando canoeing map

It is by hiking the gorges of the Tarn offer us the best of themselves. We propose to get off the canoe (or kayak) for 2 to 5 days (or more) between Ispagnac and Aguessac, or downstream to Saint Rome de Tarn (transition to Millau, then under the viaduct). The bivouacs are traditionally planned for camping near villages to facilitate refueling. The number and length of the steps depends on your desires and motivations. It is essential to maintain the prior screening to organize the course. Usually, we anticipate the start the evening. The descent takes place independently, so you have to love roaming and camping. The length and pace allows to immerse themselves in the landscape.

Our Prices are here ou sur la page dédiée.
