Canoe-Kayaking activities in the Ardèche
Have you booked your holiday at Rives d’Arc? Then, don’t miss out on our must-do activity to explore the beauty of the Ardèche! The Gorges de l’Ardèche are the place to canoe-kayak during your holidays.
Canoeing and kayaking: an integral part of Ardèche culture
Kayaking has become much more than a mere outdoor activity in the Ardèche : it is part of a real culture. For decades, the Gorges de l'Ardèche have been a magnet for kayaking enthusiasts, as well as those looking to connect with nature through an authentic experience. Paddling at the heart of the majestic limestone cliffs, along the banks of the River Ardèche in gentle or rushing currents, is a moment of total freedom.
An activity open to all levels, each stroke of the paddle reveals breathtakingly beautiful panoramas, secret beaches where you can take a break, and rapids to brave for the more adventurous. Kayaking in the Gorges is the perfect combination of sport and contemplation, in close communion with the wild nature of the Ardèche region.
