Some of the best Rafting in Europe and for sure the best Rafting trips in France!

Oueds&Rios Rafting & Whitewater sports offers the total range of whitewater activities: whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, river boarding and canyoning. A state qualified whitewater guide teaches you the essentials of each activity, educate you about river hazards and safety, lead you down the river and bring a spice of entertainement to the rafting or to the river trip. The price of river trips also include the gear and the boats, for example neoprene westsuits (top&pants), neoprene socks, CE certified life jackets and helmets, plus the raft, the inflatable kayaks or the riverboard (see conditions). Different levels of difficulty are available for each activity: novice, improver or master. If you have never done any whitewater activity, we suggest that you start with a Rafting trip first. You can then later do an "Improver Rafting trip" or try "Inflatable kayaking" for example.

Rafting: the raft is an inflatable craft that can accommodate 4 to 7 passengers-the guide is seated on the back of the boat helping stir the boat and coordinate the crew. It is the perfect way to discover a river, a valley, a mountain environment with a zest of excitement and adventure. A perfect activity for families, groups of friends or team workers.

A Canoe-raft is an inflatable canoe, it is light, stable and easily manoeuverable. A team of two people working together can with incredible ease go down rapids, punch waves and holes with little previous paddling experience or whitewater skills. Paddling a canoe-raft is fun, a good work out and exhilarating.

A Kayak-raft is very similar to a canoe-raft the only difference being that it is a one person boat. Paddling a kayak-raft is very much like kayaking, one can play with the currents, catch eddies, slalom between rocks but without the difficult learning curve of kayaking. Come play!

Riverboarding or Hydrospeed: the swimmer is geared up with a reinforced neoprene wetsuit, flippers and a foam board for protection and stiring. It is a very playful activity where one is immersed in the water playing with swirls, whirlpools, waves, currents and rocks. Riverboarding can be quite demanding physically-it is one activity women excell at!

Canyoning could be easily resumed as a fun and thrilling creek hike in natural pools, under waterfalls and on natural toboggans. In a narrow canyon where cliffs, sky, water and sun play with each other, you will have to swim, jump, hike, slide, and rappel!
