Packraft is an eco-friendly experience in which the participants alternate between hiking and rafting. The principle of the expedition is to walk up the river and then navigate it down in a packraft.
Age minimum : 16 ans
The craft, which looks like an inflatable kayak, is extremely light and allows you to navigate parts of the river that you are not used to. In most cases, we don't use any means of transport. The idea is really to adapt and respect the natural environment.
