Secret River
About
Secret River offers an unforgettable adventure amid Provence’s most dramatic landscape – the Gorges du Verdon. Adventurers can choose from family‑friendly rafting, energetic sportive runs, serene aqua‑rando, or lightweight packraft excursions that weave through limestone cliffs and turquoise water. Guided tours, led by certified professionals, include top‑quality equipment, safety gear, and an in‑depth briefing. Participants arrive at the village of Castellane, about 45 minutes from Lac Sainte‑Croix, where the team welcomes them, checks gear, and sends them off on a thrilling journey from gentle waters to roaring rapids. Each experience ranges from a 1½‑hour family raft to a 2½‑hour sporty descent, all completed in under three hours, making it suitable for families, couples, or solo travelers seeking a blend of adrenaline and natural beauty.
