Description
A high-energy descent where you’ll progressively discover the most celebrated rapids on the Isère — the Jambon Slicer, the Maiden’s Leap — on one of France’s finest rafting runs. 23 km with no prior experience, alternating technical rapids and quieter stretches. For those seeking greater thrills, hydrospeed puts you right in the heart of the rapids on an individual float, for an even more immersive experience. Takamaka professionals at your service to make sure sport stays fun.
🚣 Rafting — Working as a Team on the Raft!
On board an 8-person raft, your teams paddle together to take on the Isère rapids. Cohesion, synchronisation and guaranteed laughter — rafting is the most festive and most unifying white water incentive in the catalogue.
🏄 Hydrospeed — Get up close to the rapids!
On an individual float, kitted out with a wetsuit and helmet, you take on the rapids in direct contact with the river. More intense, more physical, more immersive — hydrospeed is the most committed white water experience in the catalogue. Accessible from age 14.
