Inflatable kayaks or duckies are a great option if you want to be the chief of your own craft; you can paddle tandem or solo.

Once here, we will give you all necessary equipment (new helmets, neoprene jackets and suits, neoprene booties and life jackets). Then, we will drive you about 10 min. to the put in on the river and your certified guides will give you a security briefing and a practice run. Our guides are certified both, internationally and nationally, have all the needed instruction, several years of experience all over the world and love what they do, so rest sure, that you could not be on better hands, they also speak multiple languages. If you chose the Intro Ducky descent, you will get our mildest option, a tandem or solo inflatable kayak with which, you will run a section class II of the big Rhone River. For around 1, 5 h, you will paddle a fun, full of games, swimming and nature kind of trip, suitable for young ages. For more acting paddling, you should try the Energy Ducky tour, a 1h of splashing through the big and continuous waves of the great Rhone river class III+ section. You can chose to go tandem or solo, but you cannot chose to stay dry. Once on the take out, we will drive you back to the base, where you can take a hot shower and taste a healthy and delicious snack: cookies, gluten-free homemade hazelnut bread, trail-mix, fresh fruit and a cold drink (juice, lemon water / coffee and tea).
